These will be some quick links this morning...

I'll start with Reusse who may have hit the nail on the head in this Sunday editorial (not very often we can say that huh?). When it comes to atmosphere around TCF Bank Stadium on Gopher gamedays, maybe it takes more than a new building. Winning will help sell tickets, but atmosphere? That isn't something manufactured by the University.

You got your new stadium. You got a coach you like. Stop making ridiculous excuses. Get up early, meet your friends, slurp down a couple of beers and a brat, go inside and watch the Killsters kick the stuffing out of Western Michigan.

I tend to agree.

• Bowl Game or Bust.
• Cedric Thompson gets a story in his hometown paper. In it he says he is the starting safety.
• Gopher Soccer hosted two, ranked teams this weekend. They lost to #4 Florida State 3-2 on Friday and upset #24 South Carolina on Sunday. Not a bad start for the experienced Gophers.
• GopherSports.com has a little preview of the Gopher frontcourt.
• Stoudermire is eying the NCAA kick return record.
