per Shama:

The Gophers were among the national leaders in targeting penalties last fall, but not in 2017. Through four games Minnesota is the least overall penalized team in the Big Ten with 16 infractions. “I think we’re a very disciplined football team,” Fleck said.

Go Gophers!!
 

I'm really impressed by the way this team plays more disciplined.

The number of targeting calls last year was amazing.

All you have to do is look at that stat alone to realize this coach has these student athletes on better watch than the previous regime (Claeys) which seemed to lack discipline or good spiritual judgment.
 

This is one of the changes from last year I think everyone can agree is a good one. We may have won 9 games, but the penalties we racked up seemed to shoot us in the foot sometimes. Some games wouldn't have been as close if we were penalized less. Could have even been a 10+ win season. Glad we are playing a lot more disciplined. I hope this continues in years to come.
 

I think we're the least penalized due to the discipline instilled by the previous staff...

So spiritual judgment (which you have no idea how spiritual the players were last year) plays into the number of penalties?

Absolutely!

Not so much spiritual "judgement", but having something spiritual to believe in.
You need to believe in something bigger than yourself. Whether religion, community, the team, etc.

When you don't have something bigger to believe in than yourself, you believe in only yourself which would make you selfish. If you are selfish, you only worry about your own satisfaction. At that point, judgement and caring for the well-being of others goes away, so you lose your emotional empathy for those around you, and rather than having a loving, mutually beneficial relationship with others, you're less prone to care whether the person you are with is benefiting from your relationship or if you are taking advantage of them.

I'm so glad our football program is turning into something to be proud of again compared to the disgusting mess that was all over the headlines when Claeys was running things here. That was embarrassing.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, such a creepy post. Then again most of us expect this type of crap from you by now.
 

I like that Fleck incorporates spirituality as an important component of success especially when the subject is a big group of 18 to 22 year old men (even choir boys will eventually do stupid crap at that age). Nonetheless, I would attribute low penalties to attention to detail...taking pride in the small things which add up to big results. Let's hope this continues on through the season.

WOW. You are some piece of work.
PJ is a miracle worker. He's taken a group of players from last year, that had no moral compass, were selfish, undisciplined and a disgusting mess and he's turned them into spiritual, disciplined, giving people who we can finally be proud of? And he's done this in all of 9 months? Why is just a football coach? If he can work such miracles in the discipline/giving of ones self area, I would think his powers would also be able to turn all the untalented players that this team has into 1st team all-americans.
Please change your moniker to Falsifying the Facts, it would be more fitting for you. As you stated in another thread, you should be banned for another ridiculous comparison/statement

I'm very excited about Fleck, like most of us are. But when you use such extreme hyperbole to make a point, your message gets lost amid the noise.

Isn’t selfish a nekton?

F* the Facts message is what it nearly always is. "Look! I said something provocative! Better respond to me! Please. Please?" :blah::blah::blah:
 

I am an agnostic who thinks Fleck is right on on valuing spirituality. We do need to believe in something bigger than ourselves (team, God, community whatever). I coached with D1 athletes and don't think sports develops good character often enough. Too many of them were just simply self-centered. At times it seems the top athletes are more likely to be narcissists than team players. If sports developed good character wouldn't all of our pro athletes who are the best athletes, also be the best role models for our children? The one statistic that is about discipline is penalties. What Fleck is doing on that front is refreshing and I think it is awesome.

I'm a fan of Fleck, and support everything he does, but even I see that FtF is taking it way too far.

Please provide me a graph of penalties vs spirituality. Don't forget to cite your sources.
 

Back on topic...
Offensive penalties are drive-killers in college football. Limiting those penalties keeps the team on-pace for down and distance. Absolutely important for putting points on the board, and keeping the defense fresh and waiting on the sidelines.

Unfortunately our drives just fizzled out due to lack of moving forward after 3 tries...[emoji32]
 




Never said that but they should of scored two more times. Offense wasn't nearly as bad as some on GH like to say it was.
Nor was it nearly as good as some on the GH like to imagine. [emoji57]
