Game Thread Minnesota @ Ohio State - 10/13/18, 12:00PM (FS1)

Barley’s is always a winner after games in our book:

Pile High Nachos/Pierogies/Steak/Infinity Grand Cru.

Can’t go wrong with Ray Ray’s either. It’s a staple and close to The Shoe, so I’ll second that.

If you’ve never been, I’ll mention Eddie George’s Grille out of respect to the legend. I mean, I don’t have photos of most other restaurants and their menus in the area just because.

SKULL SESSION: PLAYOFF CHANCES, NICK BOSA'S CORE MUSCLE RECOVERY AND P.J. FLECK'S BUCKEYE MEMORIES

FLECK REFLECTS ON OHIO STATE.
For those unaware, Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck began his boat rowing in Columbus as a graduate assistant under Jim Tressel in 2006.

Fleck's duties were relatively menial – he served coffee and took the blame for the occasional botched punt protection call – but he got to learn under one of the top coaches in the game, even in a crushing, lopsided loss.

From TwinCities.com

Florida was leading 24-14 in the second quarter when Ohio State decided to go for it on fourth and 1 from its own 29. There was still plenty of game left, but Fleck was gobsmacked by what Tressel said next over the headset.

“He said, ‘Boys, if we don’t get this, the game is over,’ ” Fleck recalled.

Wells was stopped for no gain, and the Gators went on to win 41-14 for the national championship.

“I never heard Jim Tressel ever say that (before),” Fleck said. “So, I got to see somebody who was the best coach in America do everything always right and still run into a buzzsaw somehow, and we couldn’t do anything about it.”

Ohio State was where Fleck got his start, so Saturday will be a bit of a homecoming for him, and he'll be dressing for the occasion, paying homage to Tressel with his attire.

Fleck will wear a tie on the sideline Saturday, a nod, in part, to a mentor he has long admired in Tressel.

“I learned how you treat people in the profession by watching Jim,” Fleck said. “…Not just when you are coaching. But off the field, watching … his serving and giving and how he treated everybody. When Jim Tressel talked to you, everybody felt important.

“To work for a guy like that as your first job, that sets the tone for how you live the rest of your coaching life. I’m just really, really blessed that I got a chance to be around special people in my first job.”

I like Fleck and I love that he's made Minnesota fun for me.
