Hatin' On - P.J. Fleck

Okay...I have no idea what went wrong last week. The formula was perfect. We hated on Urban...and won. We didn't hate on Ruffin...and lost. We hated (very well, I might add) on Coach Puss Face...and lost. This week, I think we should do a good...but not great...job of hatin'.

This week, I introduce you to P.J. Fleck. P.J. is short for Phillip John. He has a son C.J., short for Carter Joseph. AND one of his players (as TheFifthFuller pointed out) is named "J.".

So, I give you the first one:

"PJ Fleck" uses initials for names.

(yeah, I know that one sucks).

PJ pointing
PJ Fleck says "Hey, smell my finger!...does it smell funny?"

PJ hugging
PJ Fleck hugs EVERYONE! ...I hope this is his wife...if not, he's got sum splannin' to do!!!

Ready. Set. Go.

PJ Fleck thought Jar-Jar Binks was a delightful character that made the first 3 Star Wars better than Star Wars 4-6.

The Dude Abides

Apparently Jar-Jar is TKPer.

More likely Jar-Jar is Urban Meyer.

PJ Fleck's dream job was to design and sell pajamas in a store called "PJ's PJs," but instead he settled for the head coaching job at Western Michigan.

PJ Fleck eats all of the samples at Costco

Pretty sure the other PJ ^^ does this as well.

My initials aren't PJ, but I do that too.

I do the "circle around the store for 5 minutes after eating a sample and hope they do not recognize me and take more samples" move.

There's a great Family Guy quickie on this...can't find a better version or make this a GIF...but you get the point.

fg free samples

We put the K in Kwality

There's something wrong with this?

It is because he is eating all of the samples, leaving none for us Hokies that also eat all the samples...

You mean eating ALL the samples in the store/booth or just all the different samples in the store as in one per booth and trying all of them?

You mean eating ALL the samples in the store/booth

This.

all gone

If it's on a tooth pick, it's free!

Western Michigan, more players with initials than fans at a LOLUVA Spring game

PJ liked the final season of True Blood

"We were at the pinnacle, and we did it for years," Foster says. He pauses, nods, takes a deep breath. "And I did it with the best guy in the business."

And the final episode of Lost.

"Exit light..."

AND the last episode of HIMYM

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

And the last episode of Dexter.

"Exit light..."

And he paid to see Gigli.

Twice.

I've finally gotten around to watching Lost and I have about 5 episodes left. Is it really going to be that terrible?

I honestly never got into Lost, but when the finale was over, my entire Facebook newsfeed was full of rage. They told me what happened (no spoilers, I won't say anything) and I thought it was pretty stupid. But I hadn't invested any time in it, so my reaction wasn't as extreme.

"Exit light..."

It will be what it will be. I honestly just watched it and enjoyed it. I hadn't been watching it for years, I just binged on the seasons, so maybe the several year investment that some people had wasn't a factor.

That's what I'm hoping for. I binged it over the summer while all my tv shows were gone and am just now finishing up, just in time for my shows to come back on. Even if it's terrible, the first 4-5 seasons were good enough to make it worth it.

PJ Fleck needs Ford puns explained to him.

That will require some Focus for sure

Even the simplest concepts seem to escape him.

Being the coach in a school in Michigan, this is inexcusable. It's not like he even has to probe that much to figure it out.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

maybe his police Escort can explain it to him

"We were at the pinnacle, and we did it for years," Foster says. He pauses, nods, takes a deep breath. "And I did it with the best guy in the business."

I dunno, I think the cop might have an easier time explaining cold fusion to him.

I already have PJ's post-game speech ready: "They really Taurus a new one."

I think its time for us to DART out of Blacksburg.. bahahah ohh wait that's a dodge even better

PJ Fleck thinks "Row Row Row Your Boat" was originally sung by Hues Corporation.

I knew this guy looked familiar!!!

True story: My son was in Gymboree and they started singing "Row, Row, Row your Boat". Then this guy comes running in and screams "that's my jam!" doing a weird heavy metal dance. Kids start crying...it was horrible.

PJ was once a contestant on the Price is Right and guessed $10 for Eggland's Best Eggs, which resulted in that little yodeler dude to climb too far and fall off the cliff. He would never yodel again and could no longer support his wife and three kids. Yodeling was all he knew. PJ didn't care though; all he cared about was spinning that big wheel.

Leg. Not just for making us laugh, but for also making us cry. You really made us care for the characters. Bravo, good sir.

PJ played Plinko with all 5 chips, but only walked away with $100

"We were at the pinnacle, and we did it for years," Foster says. He pauses, nods, takes a deep breath. "And I did it with the best guy in the business."

Wasn't he also the guy who bid $2 right after the 90-year old woman from Kansas with the I <3 Bob Barker shirt bid $1?

We put the K in Kwality

No that was Mike London. Unfortunately for him the next two ladies bid $3 and $4 respectively. He called for a time out and wanted a do-over. "I should have acted quicker and gone for 3."

I don't want to stop the flow of good stuff here...

But, damn...we have the funniest, cleverest...and dare I say "Whitt-y-est" (see what I did there?) fan base in the country!!! I'm constantly laughing out loud (I refuse to use the text speak) at my desk, getting funny looks from my colleagues when I read these comments.

One for the post-game, and then an apology:

PJ Fleck burns timeouts to challenge calls that obviously won't be overturned just so he can practice "rowing his boat", IYKWIM.

And the apology: PJ Great game! Your guys played with great intensity, and you had a great game plan dialed up. You keep recruiting like you have been, and before long, people will have to stop using the disparaging "Directional" from your team's name.

I'm not gonna lie; beating him and his Broncos after his obnoxious cheering following Slye missing the long FG, made it even better.

As much fun as it was to hate on him, I'm not going to lie, I liked what I saw out of him. His team didn't give up and his halftime interview was all about recruiting and focusing on the positives. He's going to be a coach to watch IMO.

This happens everywhere, just usually doesn't make the news. Just last year, one of the UVA teams (can't remember if it was volleyball or WBB) wrote "f*ck VT" in the visiting team locker room. Most teams leave a giant mess, which is why it's the ones who actually clean up after themselves are the ones I notice the most. North Florida (Basketball 11-12) was one of the friendliest teams to come into Cassell and their coach/team had the locker room looking as good if not better than when they came in.
