He's admitted a few times that he was a Badger fan as a kid. Stopped saying it soon after being hired, am guessing someone got in his ear about it.

The fact that it was even an almost has made me lose soooooo much respect. His seat is warm in my opinion.

The road to pj being the badger coach is being hewn as we speak.

Fleck came to his senses. He clearly doesn't represent the culture that is currently is in Madison.

You have to be celibate ON PURPOSE, not because you don't really have a choice.

I would picture him as a solid 2nd baseman.

How could it have been Bo Ryan ? He was not the coach the year he visited. When the Kohl Center opened it was at least 3 years before anyone even knew Ryan would become coach !

Alvarez is too much of a control freak. It's hard for me to imagine a scenario where Fleck would want to work for Alvarez or Alvarez would want to hire him.

"Almost played basketball at Wisconsin" Is a stretch. "Pj wanted to play basketball at Wisconsin" is more accurate.

Fleck as one of those pesky Sconnie point guards gives me the creeps.

 

[builtbadgers]

Really like PJ but he simply did not tell the truth.

There is meat on this bone.
