Gophers Announce Partnership With 3 Penny Films

[CrocShots]

This is great coverage for the team. The lone questions I have are:

1)Have we finally figured out what marketing is?

2)Is this Kill's doing, the Athletic Department's, or the U's?

Regardless, it's pretty sweet! I want more, please!

More of this! If Northwestern can figure out how to market in a pro-sports town (http://www.suntimes.com/sports/coll...blitz-has-raised-profile-of-nu-athletics.html) then the U should be able to as well.

Also, awesome to hear that the Webisodes will be a continuing feature with a definite release date. Something to look forward to in the off-season!

This is just awesome, I thought they were doing something different with the Webisodes, good to see they're really trying to sell this program and get people invested into it.

THis is great news, I love the access to the program. Half-hour episodes of our team will be great for amping up the fanbase over the summer leading up to September.

I've seen a lot of infomercials on local broadcast TV on weekend afternoons. I wonder running these shows might be a better use of airtime than infomercials.

Could be wrong, but I think i heard that a former player works for 3 Penny Films and approached the U. The U really liked what they saw, and decided to sign up with some sort of deal. Too bad we didnt have them on board when those kids made that terrible "Dat Gopher Boy" video and helped them make it more professional, and change many other things.

Very cool. Anyone know when the 30 minute episodes begin? The webisodes are neat as well.

Stocker, sometime in summer is all I've found.

This is sweet! Hopefully BTN puts those shows up on their website for those of us without DVD/cable..
