The $15 price tag looks nice too, especially after what it cost to get to the Winter Classic this year :P http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index....nvites_mic.htmlGo Blue!

LkptTiger 1 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Depending on my hockey situation/schedule next season, I'm going to do all I can to be there...even though it currently stands to be scheduled on my 5th anniversary with the girlfriend.Aw, who the Hell am I kidding? My hockey schedule has kept me from making it to just about everything else that has ever excited me - who's to say this would be any different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahriman 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2009 I assume you're referring to the Minnesota Ground Squirrels?In a comparison between Goldy and several kinds of rodent, the gopher was judged to look least like Goldy -- the results judged that his appearance was closest to a chipmunk or squirrel. Another animal Goldy is claimed to look like is the beaver, due to the buck teeth and tail. These inaccuracies are because when the gopher was declared the mascot of the University, the artist hired to create the mascot did not know what a gopher looked like. As a replacement, he drew some furry animals he saw at a rest stop. The gopher drawn and used as the original mascot was based on a picture of a thirteen-lined ground squirrel.How sad is that....
