Our gopher soon found his way onto all kinds of merchandise, advertisements, and was embraced by "The Gopher," the annual University of Minnesota yearbook. Throughout the 1970s, Goldy grew chubbier cheeks and took on a teddy bear-esque look.

Meanwhile, many a student held the mantle of wearing the gopher suit at sporting events, each putting their own spin on the mascot tradition. One student was even known for climbing the goalpost at football games. Learn more about the students behind the suit on the College of Liberal Arts History and Traditions page ( -creative-work/marching-band/history-traditions/goldy-gopher).

By the 90s, the Goldy look became closer and closer to the gopher (er, 13-lined ground squirrel) we know and love today. And, something else changed as well. Since 1952, the student inside the Goldy Gopher costume had always been a member of the University of Minnesota marching band, but in 1990, the Gopher Athletic Department began holding university-wide tryouts. Since Goldy had to be present at a number of University events, several students were tapped to play the grinning gopher in order to cover the busy schedule.
