Talk about it

(Minneapolis, MN) -- The University of Minnesota has changed the date and time of it Gopher Football Youth Clinic because of predicted bad weather. The event was originally set for this Saturday morning and has been moved to next Friday evening (April 22) at 6:30 p.m. at TCF Bank Stadium.

The clinic is free and open to boys and girls who are between seven- and 13-years-old. Head coach Jerry Kill and his players will lead the young kids through football drills and learning lessons. An autograph session follows the hour-long clinic. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to www.gophersports.com.

Predicted poor weather for tonight has also forced the University of Minnesota to postpone a student event scheduled in conjunction with this evening's spring football practice at the on-campus stadium. The "Field Frenzy" event will now become an afternoon affair next Thursday following the team's practice. "Field Frenzy" is a free event for U of M students. The first 500 students will receive a free stadium blanket, drinks, and pizza. Head coach Jerry Kill will talk to the students, as well. The event begins next Thursday at 3 p.m. at TCF Bank Stadium.
