On Saturday the University will be distributing (for a suggested $2 donation) these wristbands to benefit the Coach Kill Cancer Fund. Wristbands will be available at Block G before the game and will also be available at the Benton county entrance before and during the game. They will also be available at gates A, B, D and E when the doors open at 5 p.m.

I know folks are really focused on football, but I had to pass along this announcement from Gopher Sports about the final TV schedule for Gopher Hockey. The breakdown: - 34 of the 36 games will be on either FSN or BTN - FSN will carry 28 games (17 of which will be on FSN Plus) - BTN will carry 6 games, including the Hockey City Classic I'm not sure which 2 games won't be televised. In any case, hockey is almost here! #PRIDEONICE

Reminder, this Saturday's game is the Gold Out game for this season. I think we all know that this won't turn out well (especially since a non-sellout means maroon seats/concrete will be visible) but lets not have any TDG readers contribute to the failure.

Soon.

Above is a better pic (via @GopherSports) of the updated team meeting room that I talked about in today's Nugz. Gopher fans aren't the only ones who think this is sweet. It's getting rave reviews from national CFB outlets like CBS Sports and Yahoo. Go here for the full-size version. UPDATE: @GopherSports gave me a heads up that they've posted a really cool time lapse video of the team room transformation. It gives you an even better sense of how the room looks. Definitely worth checking out!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! I've got nothing else to add. This is simply priceless. Shooter's Column (scroll to the bottom for the quote)

It sounds like Keelon Brookings has changed to a Wisky verbal. I don't have anything insightful to say other than "this sucks."

Happy Valentine's Day!

The new Gopher football helmets. I love the black face mask and overall darkness to the helmets. This beats shiny and sparkles in my humble opinion.

Any chance we could get a TDG sponsored tee for the upcoming season?
