If patience really is a virtue, then Minnesota sports fans someday will go straight to heaven.
They have sat and watched, unruffled for the most part, through endless rebuilding projects. They have sat stoically, hands folded in their laps, as area teams flail futilely. And they have heard an endless chorus of "hurry up and wait" while the squads try to eventually get themselves together.
When?
Some day.
Soon?
Hard to say.
This brings us to the Golden Gophers men's basketball team, the latest local team to fall off the face of the earth.
