On a personal level I don't like Fleck. If he was my neighbor I think I would egg his car. People who want to demonstrate their emotions and be validated all the time drive me up a wall. But it's hard to argue with on-the-field results. With the Gophers' soft remaining schedule, Minnesota should expect to finish 4-2 the rest of the way, making an 8-4 season. I'm chalking up Iowa and Wisconsin as losses, since Fleck never beats genuine rivals. But if the team performs against either of its two most bitter rivals, Minnesota could finish 5-1.
