A question about traditions:
I know the students like to stand during the entire game because it is a tradition. I get that. The Cameron Crazies did it years ago and it caught on at other Universities without traditions of their own. Now we see it everywhere.
Why do "some" apparent non students stand the entire game in isolated pockets throughout the Dome? I certainly understand standing when there is excitement but not just for the sake of standing. I see it at every game and it does cause resentment for those fans seated directly behind the standers. Just curious why they do it? It seems kind of rude or am I missing something?
Another thing...why do the students jingle their keys during kick off? It use to be we would jingle our keys prior to a "Key Play" (thus the use of the keys) such as third and one at a crucial moment of the game. Why did it evolve to the kick off?
Are there any "traditions" that are unique to Minnesota football? I would bet many fine traditions were lost during the past 40 years of apathy. Maybe we can research and bring some of the cooler traditions back now that we are back on Campus and the Gophers will be relevant in Football again. We have a great student section that seems thirsty for the fun and comradery traditions can bring.
Go Gophers!
