AP: BREAKING NEWS, CRYSTAL MN
Much speculation has been made about who will be the new head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball program this morning, but that mystery might be solved as Norwood Teague was spotted with Shaka Smart leaving the Crystal Municipal Airport at about 1PM Central Time.
"They got off the plane and got in a car." says Chuck Nfferburger, a baggage handler at the small airport. The breaking news comes just hours after the Gophers fired Tubby Smith after an up and down roller coaster season.
Teague flew Shaka in privately in the booster funded "Gopher Express" private jet...errrr plane. After making five fuel stops across the Midwest, they finally landed at the Crystal Airport on a bright sunny afternoon. Sid Hartman was seen at the scene hurling obscenities at the two as the car peeled off the runway.
No official word from the University of Minnesota Athletic Department on this story.
