Good times.

This isn't news of any real sort, we just think it's odd: Maurice Jones-Drew, a running back for the Jaguars with no discernible connection to the U of M, has a Gophers logo as his Twitter avatar.

MAYBE HE'S THE NEW GOPHERS BASKETBALL COACH.

Or maybe he just likes the "M" for Maurice.

UPDATE: Savvy commenters say this could be related to a UCLA-Gophers bet (Jones-Drew went to UCLA).
