The DeetsYou Can't HANDLE The Deets. |

This has probably been around for a while now, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it. During the Gopher football game on Saturday, Goldie Gopher held up an oversized TCF Bank debit card to the student section while the announcers asked students to whip out their plastic.
Are the students holding up TCF cards making a smart choice due to near-monopolistic market conditions on-campus? Or, are the students with cards from one of the many credit unions on or near campus wondering why someone would be proud of their TCF Bank cards?
As far as I can tell, there are only 9-10 ads on the scoreboard. At least that’s all I could see from this angle.

US Bank has done this at Timberwolves games for years. But yeah, the whole TCF-ization of the U is creepy.
Also known as “get your credit card number photographed in high def.”. Seriously, does anyone at any bank think?
I can barely find the score on this ‘scoreboard’.
Other Mike – good point. Scoreboard looks like a newspaper-site home page.
