Not congratulations - but maybe understanding. As in, "I don't agree with what you did, but I understand why you did it."
Jeez, DP, we're talking about a guy who lives in Texas - but still follows the Gophers closely, and was willing for years to invest the money to fly up here for games. That is a heck of a commitment. I would argue that he is more committed than a lot of the fair-weather fans in MN who don't show up for games if they don't like the weather forecast, or sell their tix to WI or NEB fans.
If he has decided he wants to do something different, that is his choice. he has every right to make that choice. And I suspect it was not an easy choice. I have no problem with what Houston did. Now, the people on here who think they have a right to judge who is or isn't a real "fan," that I have a problem with.
