FYW - Flap Your Wings?
PJ Fleck gets to fly with the Thunderbirds. Will he adopt a new slogan for 2016?

I question the " was asked to fly with the Thunderbirds". Begged to fly would probably be more accurate.

Fleck does some silly things, but asking, or even begging (if he had to initiate it at all) to fly with the Thunderbirds isn't remotely out-of-line. What a magnificent opportunity!! 02-13-banana

Wonder if he will lose his cookies in flight? Not unusual to do so.

He also asked to recreate the volleyball scene with the crew following the flight. Video at 6 and 11.

I don't know if anyone else saw the piece a few weeks ago on Channel 3 where he was "asked" by Gull Lake Soccer to give them a pep talk.

Truth be told, his local hangeronner media pal Andy Dominiani, contacted GL's head coach and asked them to come to WMU so they could video PJ giving the team a pep talk prior to their quest for a 4th state title. There was no "asking" by GL, it was the other way around. And all so that they could get some good video on the news that night.

That's not really WMU marketing. Its the coach and his media buddy, using high school girls to self promote. Because you know for damn sure that nobody in marketing at WMU had anything to do with it.

If true, that's starting to sound downright psychotic.

Well, since I know the GL Soccer coach quite well and he gave me the heads up before it happened cause he knew I'd flip (knowing my deep love for Peej and his cronies) I'd say its pretty true. Then again, I am not personally stating anything is fact, since the last time anyone around here did such a thing those same cronies went on the rampage. But, from what I was told, Channel 3 was looking for ops to get some footage of old Peej being his incredible inspiring self.

I honestly don't think this is done out of self-promotion or narcissism, etc. Out of any athletic, under-40 coach who has an actively projecting personality as his means of motivation -- would be doing the same thing. I think it's the concept of him being a young, actively projecting HC with "isms", etc that gets the scrutiny. To get up in a plane with the Air Force and such is a good thing, when it's all said and done. Yeah, that poster promoting him -- it's to get marketing attention with him doing it. I don't see the problem with it.

If instead of "Top Gun" it said "WMU In Flight" -- would that really be any different? It'd be a picture of Fleck in a jumpsuit, and yes, focused on the concept that he's going to fly in an F16.

If you want to believe this was purely or even primarily to "motivate" his team ... then by all means ... believe.

Can he use it later as a part of a story line to motivate? Sure. So could the benefit of taking a nap. But you won't see that storyline out of camp Fleck.

But this is pure PJ Fleck. It's all about PJ.

Marketing the team angle? OK, if you say so. But the arrow tip is PJ. The arrow's shaft is PJ. The tail feathers are PJ?

My personal bias ... much prefer he just do it, check it off his bucket list and then weave a motivational tale for the kids later on. But stop with the photo shoots and perceived self promotion. It's juvenile and reeks of lacking self confidence. Look at me! If you didn't know I can (fill in the blank). I need those barf bags ... 03-puke
