He looks like a goon in those colors. Once you're red and black you don't go back, I guess he truly is fond of Novak and his words...

Mmmm...I'm not sure what I think about this.

I rather hope that he will credit Coach Novak for those words...or at least not continue to give the impression that he came up with them on his own.

PJ Fleck is going to have a very hard time getting through both Toledo and NIU now and in the future.

Let's hope we can give PJ a good, old-fashioned dose of humility.

Wow a coach using a saying he learned from another coach? Unheard of.

Novak borrowed the saying from Miami U - his Alma Mater. Michigan also uses it. Bo Shembechler started it there, but he came from Miami.

I don't believe that all who stay will be champions. They are only with the program for 4 or 5 years. I've been with the Huskies through tthick and thin for 40 years, and I am nowhere near being a champion. How much longer do I have to stay?

RE: Fleck: "This won't be easy, but those who stay will be champions,"
guess you could say imitation is best form of flattery re: using Novak's famous line....why do images come to mind of Yoda having mentored Luke Skywalker

Cannot help but wish him the best - except of course, when PJ is recruiting or playing aganst NIU...

If you don't aim high (a ring) you will not likely ever get there...

his pacing around center court seemed rather a nervous excitement moment more than trying to reach out to all fans surrounding him...will be interesting to observe him on sidelines of HS and if he contains/controls his energy/enthusiam and keeps his players both amped up yet calm and playing under control...

The sign at the Grotto said you were a champion.

I think those words are from the U of Michigan and were borrowed by Coach Novak

Well, it's about time! Up until that acknowlegment, I was merely an up-and-comer.

Not so sure they will be champions anytime soon though. The champions road runs thru DeKalb.
