Happy Fleck Friday everyone!
Confused reader: "What the heck is Fleck Friday?"
Coach Fleck is known for wearing a dress shirt and tie underneath a team jacket or windbreaker. Often, this is combined with an enthusiastic thumbs up. (He is also known for wearing really sweet socks, but that’s not part of the #FleckFriday thing).
Some examples:

"What does Coach Fleck’s love of sweet jackets, nice ties, and Roger Ebert impersonations have to do with Friday?"
It’s all about alliteration and having fun. Last week the @GopherSports staff in charge of the @MinnesotaFootball account were on point on fleek. They decided to combine the classic Fleck visage with the best of the workweek to create #FleckFriday. The goal? To get people dressing up like Fleck, because why the heck not?
"People are doing this?"
You betcha. To wit:

Wear the shirt, tie, and jacket/pullover/windbreaker with a smile on your face and a thumbs up for the world and you’re all set. You get extra credit if you wear Fleck worthy happy socks.
