Me and Goldy
It's taken me a while to warm up to the University of Minnesota. It's not that I have a problem with state schools-- I went to one, after all--but it's just hard to hedge on my lifelong allegiance to the University of Michigan. Yeah, I never attended Michigan. It's just always been my favorite team.
But, Michigan doesn't have a mascot, which is ridiculous. Think of the fun you could have with a vicious wolverine! But, no, they take things too seriously for any such tomfoolery.
But Goldy Gopher has drawn me in. I trust Goldy. Plus, he's a happy gopher, not a moody violence-prone mammal like Bucky Badger.
Is this a problem?
