WCCO's Vineeta Sawkar and Henry Lake say anyone taking issue with the Gophers storming the field, PJ Fleck crowd-surfing and celebrating a rare home win over the Wolverines need to get over it.
Transcript
00:00How about the Little Brown Jug being back in Minnesota?
00:04Winning it at home hasn't happened since 1977 or something like that.
00:10It's just crazy.
00:12That game and where PJ is taking this team.
00:15He was diving, let's see, in the pregame interview.
00:20And then did you see the little clip of him drinking from the Little Brown Jug?
00:24And then it's just, it's great.
00:26His enthusiasm and here we go.
00:28I mean, this is kind of what we wanted to see out of this Gopher football team.
00:32You know, there were some people that didn't like the celebration after they won where he, you know, he's chugging
00:39and then he jumps.
00:40He's like crowd surfing.
00:42Who didn't like that?
00:43You know, they need to get over it.
00:44He should celebrate.
00:46There are people that need to, I mean, they weren't mad that he was celebrating.
00:50It was the way that he celebrated.
00:51But it's like, who cares?
00:52Like, that's who he is.
00:53You want him to be somebody that he's not?
00:55That is his personality.
00:57That is who he is.
00:58Not everybody is going to have that type of energy.
01:01So what?
01:02It's the head coach of the Gophers that's been this way forever.
01:05So people need to just kind of calm down on how he should celebrate and all that stuff.
01:10But with regards to the game, look, I said this a couple weeks ago.
01:14I kind of questioned PJ and the Gophers and where this is going and how we were doing the Big
01:20Ten.
01:20He has totally flipped the script.
01:22They were outstanding last week.
01:24They were outstanding again defensively this week.
01:27Big time.
01:28And I just, I know, think about this for a second.
01:32Because I know that some people said, well, you know, maybe it wasn't necessarily the Gophers.
01:36Maybe it was more so about Michigan.
01:38I don't care.
01:39To me, it's about the Gophers because the Gophers played an outstanding game.
01:42And you just gave the stat about they don't win the little brown jug here in Minnesota.
01:48But Michigan is a team that has lost in back-to-back weeks.
01:53And think about if they hadn't have won the Western Michigan game that opening week.
01:58That was funny.
01:59Oh, yeah.
02:00It was a great game for the Gophers.
02:01Here's what bugs me, Henry.
02:03Why is it that we have to qualify our wins?
02:06Oh, it's because Michigan is bad.
02:08It just infuriates me.
02:09You know what?
02:10We won.
02:10I don't care if they're bad.
02:12We were good and we won.
02:14And, you know, I wasn't thrilled with the Drake-Lindsey interception.
02:17You know, there's some room for improvement there.
02:19But, you know, I really hate this attitude that, you know, we have to qualify our wins, you know, that
02:25way.
02:25Yeah, sometimes you can look at the reality of a game and a situation and understand when you didn't play
02:32at a high level.
02:33Bottom line is they got it done.
02:35They got it done on Saturday.
02:36I don't know what any complaining would be about because you're not going to get any complaining from me.
02:41No, me neither.
