Just one more day till Gopher Football 2010!  I can hardly stand it.

Be sure to check out the first ever TDG Podcast! 

Jeff has been doing a podcast over at Gopher FB Blog for a while and Buck has been itching to do one here at TDG.  So the two of them got together last night for our inagural podcast. 

• MTSU assistant coaches will be familiar with the Gophers.  Offensive Coordinator, Mike Schultz was at Illinois just last year.  And a couple former Badger assistants are also on the MTSU staff.  Defensive Coordinator Randall McCray coached at Wisconsin from 2006-09. And defensive line coach John Palermo was also at Wisconsin.
• Another MTSU story, this one highlighting the size difference between our lines and the Blue Raider lines.
• 2011 verbal recruit, Sam Rohr had his first high school game of the season for Brookfield Central.  The TE finished the game with 2 caches and 21 yards.
• This is a couple days old but SBN Minnesota posted their 5 keys to success for the Golden Gophers.  I think I might come up with at least four different keys but they are close enough.
• There's nothing wrong with a fun little cyber-prank amongst friends.
• Lake the Posts was previewing Minnesota and asked me for some of my thoughts. 

Around SBN

• Off Tackle Empire scored an interview with Rich Rodriguez.
• Here is a really good comprehensive Pac-10 preview from the Pac-10 SBN blogs.
• There is a new Ohio State blog on SBN.  Along the Olentangy was put together with some excellent individuals and should be your first stop for Buckeye news.
• This is also a couple days old but Penn State has their depth chart out and BSD has their thoughts.
• Hail to the Orange wants to end the Mizz / Illini rivalry and then previews the game.
• We don't play them but here is Indiana's week1 depth chart.
