Maybe the university should clean up it’s own messy nest first.
Minnesota was tabbed the Gopher State in 1857 after a satirizing cartoon, depicting nine Gophers with the heads of local politicians pulling a locomotive, was published. The story was over legislative action for a $5 million railroad proposal in western Minnesota. Later, the university picked up the nickname.
Any descendants of these gopherized politicians care to file suit?
They are the Golden Gophers which could be offensive to just regular gophers.
