U FOOTBALL
It may be 'goodbye, Gophers'
As an alumnus of the University of Minnesota, I have attended Gopher football games since the 1960s. Unfortunately, we were at Saturday's game against Wisconsin. We paid $80 each for an upper-level, end-zone seat to witness a Division III-caliber performance. The promises and slogans of coaches over the years are starting to wear thin, and I may have attended my last Gopher game in person. Based on Saturday's outcome, I am sure the university will extend the contract of "The Music Man 2" once again. I don't think we need promises and slogans; we need to put a better product on the field. If, however, we do need a slogan, it should be changed from "Row the Boat" to [Chief Martin] Brody's line in "Jaws": "I think we are going to need a bigger boat."
