#17 Minnesota Gophers vs Maryland Terrapins @ 2:30 C.T. on ESPN

[stocker08]

Alright! For once the Gophers draw the flagship because of THEIR team...not the team lining up on the other side of the ball. Pretty surprising considering Maryland is 3-4 and crumbling. ESPN has been giving the Gophers lots of love since this past Saturday.

Go Gophers!

Now that I'm looking at those afternoon ESPN games.....I'm not as impressed. But it's still good exposure. College football fans might be interested in the game because Minnesota has basically been an afterthought up until a couple of weeks ago.
