Rittenburg has his take on the most important stretch of games for the Gophers: http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/14018/key-stretch-minnesota

A little OT, but thought some might be interested in how another B10 school that has had trouble with marketing is tackling the problem. I'm not saying the U is as bad as the Wildcats (they just hired a full time ticket sales staff...I mean, WTF?). But there seems to be a consensus here that...

http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/post/_/id/10444/mike-garrett-nothing-but-a-lot-of-envy So, if my school got bitch-slapped by the NCAA I'm not sure I'd be doing the following:

Something I've seen in several news articles and blog posts is the fact that if USC appeals the sanctions (which the appear eager to do) that would delay the imposition of the penalties until 2011 at the earliest. So it is apparently possible that they might not get the scholly reductions/bowl...

According to Phil Steele, Minnesota has the 5th toughest schedule in all of college football (behind Iowa State, South Carolina, UCLA, and Missippi State). Rittenburg has the breakdown on how the rest of the Big Ten ranks here.

Went into my online account to check out the renewal stuff and noticed that you can buy tickets for tours of TCF. Tours start this Sat (2/13) and run through May 30th. Looks like the prices would be $6.00 for adults, $3.00 for students/youth, and free to kids 5 and under. You'll need your ID...

Let me preface this by noting that as always, info from the TO comes with a grain of salt based on their history of contradicting themselves. I fully expect someone else to have the exact opposite info in about 10 minutes. ;) - The donations for tailgate lots on the East Bank will remain...

Anyone else get a survey from the U regarding TCF Bank Stadium today? I'm filling mine out right now.

Looks like U2 will be playing at TCF after all. Prepare for another round of complaints from the neighbors. :) http://www.startribune.com/entertainment/music/69914592.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUjc8LDyiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUHDYaGEP7eyckcUs

Per Youngblood: An extra stat I grabbed off the media guide. Weber's 416 yards is the 3rd most ever in a Gopher game (Sauter's 404 yard game in 1995 is now #4). What were the 2 better performances? Tim Schade vs. Penn State (9/4/93) - 478 yards Mike Hohensee vs. OhioState (11/7/81) - 444 yards

The winner of the Gophers Shack carving contest is up. It's a pretty cool carving of TCF. I'll have to plan ahead for next year's competition if I want to stand a chance! I'm excited to see what the other entries looked like.

Not complaining about the refs cause they prob couldn't see it...but yikes!

Found this on the Wiz of Odds. After scoring a big TD last weekend no one on the Badger sideline would give Tolzien a high five. I make no further comments and will let Bronko and GVBadger slug it out from here. :) Scott Tolzien has cooties

Per Rittenburg:

Ben continues his positive presence in the Gopher blogosphere. Here's the scoop via his PiPress blog:

Fan experience is important to the U. If there are still things bothering you about gameday at TCF (overkill on security checks, music not loud enough, etc) don't hesitate to e-mail Joel Maturi and the Gopher Fan experience folks. They've obviously responded to concerns previously and I'm...

Bryant wasn't entirely truthful to the NCAA during a recent investigation and is currently ineligible (though Oklahoma State is working to get him reinstated). You'd think that this could only help Decker out.

Per Rittenburg, our 10/17 game vs. PSU will be @ 2:30 on ABC.

Wow...Oregon's season gets back on track by smoking Cal and suddenly they're talking about reinstating LeGarrette Blount. Interesting... I'm pretty "meh" about the whole deal. He deserved a harsh punishment for that BS but I doubt he'd have gotten a whole season suspension if it hadn't been...
