P.J. Fleck Goes Crowd-Surfing, Explains Viral Blood Moment On 'Big Noon Kickoff'

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck stunned viewers by crowd-surfing back into the stands after a "Big Noon Kickoff" interview before the Michigan game.
After a road win, Fleck wiped linebacker Maverick Baranowski’s blood onto himself as a symbolic show of solidarity — “I got your back,” he said.
The Gophers have had an up-and-down 2026 and still face a long drought vs. Michigan, including no home wins since 1977.
