Target Back To School - U of M Style

Installment numero dos of Yaybia's Back To School Extravaganza is here! Check it.

Goldy Gopher would be proud. Target stores in the Twin Cities metro area have added a little U of M love to their back to school sections.  Amidst the body pillows, tail bone crushing futons, and array of dorm gear only meant to last one year is a full aisle dedicated to our local Big 10 favorite.  We'll try to keep our hopes as high as Target's for the football team this year, but at least we'll look good doing it.  Daily planners (although they could never replace a trusty Gopher Guide), notebooks, shirts, and even lamps are branded with the comforting M and placed right where those first time college moms are looking and more than willing to deck out their kid's dorm with all the same gear that she'll have to make her the best Gopher Mom on the [super] block.

So with that, thank you Target for knowing where I live and giving me U of M swag because there is no way in hell I am going to go battle the freshman in Coffman Union just to get a new Gopher T that will inevitably be destroyed at an upcoming game. Ski-U-Mah!

1) Love the branded Target shit.
2) Danielle- we should play!
3) Who is Raybie and why does he/she speak in 3rd person? (Not that there's anything wrong with that. Thanks for reading! Is it Scrabble Ray, perhaps?)
