    I noticed an article this morning. that they are paying people $10.00 an hour to shovel snow in the TCF Stadium.

    In addition Ohio State has approached the Vikings to borrow their sideline heating equipment, much to the consternation of the Gopher's strength coach. :wink:

    It's going to be brutal in the Midwest this weekend...well unless you play indoors like the Lions! The rest will be very cold.

    I have to laugh at this...they won't be getting any democrats because you know they are against requiring any ID to vote, so surely they'll refuse to provide ID to shovel as well!! :)

    Since it's at the Gophers home stadium and I'm sure they are aware of weather in Minn this time of year...surely they have their own sideline gear ready to go and don't borrow from the Vikings.

    Funny how these little sideline tidbits playout trying to gain a slight advantage, even on ones home field.

    I was taking the gamesmanship angle....assuming the Vikings support the Gophers.....maybe the Vikes staff have more OSU alum?....don't know....
