This Could be of Interest

Here is an email I received about some cool stuff happening before the Gopher/USC asskicking this weekend.  If you're heading to the game, it might be worth checking out.  Or not, what do I know?

Hey DWG,

 

Since I know you and a lot of your readers are likely heading to the Gophers/Trojans game this Saturday, I’m reaching out on behalf of Nissan to share some information about a really cool, free game day experience we’re sponsoring at the stadium in partnership with Sports Illustrated. I’ve included a rundown of what’s going on below (and you can find the full press release here), but let me know if you have any questions or would like more information.

 

Thanks!

David
