It's a tradition like no other. Really. Mainly because most others probably don't want this as a tradition. But thanks to a snow storm that dumped 18 inches in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the University of Minnesota is looking for some help in shoveling out TCF Bank Stadium in time for Saturday's game against Ohio State.
The good news? They will provide the shovels, volunteers can even get paid and, hey, you'd become part of a tradition that dates to 1940.
The bad news? You're still shoveling snow and there's no mention of hot cocoa being provided anywhere.
