Swimming gophers

Our younger son (soon two) was wearing a Minnesota gophers T-shirt today that my sister sent. My wife asked me if the gophers were a football team. 'The Golden Gophers do everything,' I replied, 'they have Gopher hockey, Gopher basketball, Gopher track, Gopher baseball, Gopher swimming...' 'Gophers swimming' she said, 'shouldn't they be using muskrats?' No its not always easy being married to a foreigner although nowadays I am the foreigner.
