Late Saturday night, P.J. Fleck quickly took to the podium in the bowels of Michigan Stadium and offered his assessment of what just had transpired during the previous three-plus hours on the soggy turf.

After Michigan ran all over Fleck’s Gophers in a 33-10 victory — the Wolverines rushed for 366 yards on the strength of touchdown gallops of 77, 67 and 60 yards — the coach used “whupping’’ repeatedly to describe the result.

But in the whupping the Wolverines administered, Fleck found a lesson that his team must learn.

“Sometimes you’ve got to get your butt kicked by a champion to one day figure out how to become a champion,’’ Fleck said Sunday on WCCO Radio, echoing his comments from the night before. “We haven’t won a championship in 50 years. That’s what they look like.’’
