That's a great question, FemaleTiger!

According to Wikipedia, "They eat shrubs and other vegetation." ( LINK) Also...

quote:

... North American entertainment culture and non-technical literature tends to anthropomorphize gopher characters as "non-threatening".

Gophers will create a large community of tunnels with large mounds of dirt at their entrances, frequently referred to as "towns". Adult gophers will frequently stand watch at the entrance to a tunnel and whistle when predators are spotted, causing all the other gophers to run for the safety of the tunnels.


Other interesting facts:

* GOPHER protocol, developed in 1991 at the University of Minnesota, was a very commonly used protocol on the Internet until about 1994. In fact, there were still some computer terminals at the Frey Computing Services Center at LSU that used the GOPHER protocol into the late 90's.

* Gopher wood, of unclear meaning, is mentioned in the Bible as the building material for Noah's ark.

* A "gopher ball" is one of many nicknames for a home run in baseball.

So gophers are known for whistling and running. Yep, that's real intimidating.

Why are some people so stupid to start a thread like this on here? You know you're gonna get hammered. I'm grew up in Minnesota and I feel like giving you shite, but you'll find out the hard way how baseball is played when you can actually play it year-round without one of your balls freezing off.

What is it, exactly, that you are trying to say?

Perhaps you're not familiar with the back story going on here: LINK & LINK.

I don't remember a lot of people laughing when Illinois came to Alex Box and won 2-out-of-3 earlier this spring.
