Bought 4 outdoor club seats when the new stadium opened, supporting the program or so I thought at the time. I live on the east coast and for a while enjoyed bringing my kids to town, eating at Al's Breakfast on Saturday morning, wandering around campus before the game. But eventually interest diminished as the team became bad under Brewster and then recovered to only middling, and it made no sense to keep 4 tickets that no one really wanted. There have been good seats on StubHub for a long time and there will be for the foreseeable future. I won't be buying season tickets.
The Minnesota football program perfectly reflects the priorities of the state of Minnesota, as do the regents and the University president. The AD will hire someone who may win the press conference and will probably be more socially acceptable than Claeys. But a 50 year pattern is hard to break, and I'm not betting that it does anytime soon. Although it used to pain me to say so because it is my alma mater, the University of Minnesota is thoroughly mediocre, down to the foundation. The sequence of events from Teague's hiring to today proves this again.
