Ijeboi ran beautifully in traffic. Very impressive.
And say what you want about his speed, but he finished with 5.3 ypc against Cal. I'll take a 5.3 average any day.
Let me amend - people will support a real winner. I don't think more appearances in the banjo bowl, the oil change bowl, and the mayonnaise bowl will do it. But if the Gophers are a contender - no reason they can't be - that'll draw fans.
Sellouts are about more than ticket revenue, and more than concessions revenue. Sellouts mean more engaged fans who have an active rooting interest in the team, who wear team apparel and think of the U of M as their school, even if they didn't attend. It means families planning their day...
Unless you're *at least* comfortably well off, season tickets are expensive as hell. It's a lot easier to watch at home with your family, eat whatever you want, taking advantage of central Heat/AC.
