My friend was recently lamenting the fact that the new Gopher stadium will be called the TCF Bank Stadium. I'm not really interested, but I figure it's better than raising tuition. Although personally, because I'm evil, I would have liked to have seen the naming rights purchased by Tampax. Because nothing says football like feminine products. I guess there's still hope for future Vikings or Twins stadiums. Which could be even better--think of the possiblities for Rock-n-Roll arena shows! System of a Down, Live at the Tampax Center!
It's coming. Somewhere, someday.... This is my latest prediction for the future.
