Originally posted by hockeykrazy View PostImportant reasons to get rid of gophers:
•Gopher holes are just the right size for twisting the ankles of man or beast (such as cattle and horses).
•Their tunnels undermine trees, sometimes to the point of toppling.
•They eat roots, stems, bark, leaves, fruit, and vegetables. There goes the garden, the landscaping, and the trees.
•Predators will follow gophers; weasels, skunks, badgers, coyotes, poisonous snakes, bobcats and foxes all prey on them and will enter yards or golf course in search of a meal. As they hunt the gopher they will dig like a dog, further tearing up the grass, lawn and landscaping.
•They chew into water lines and telephone cables, causing flooding and interruption of service.
•They uproot sprinkler system heads and their tunnels warp underground water lines.
•They damage dams and retention ponds by chewing through pond liners, causing flooding.
•Gophers will decimate rose bushes.
•Dirt mounds cause wear and tear to the lawnmower blades. Plus, rocks come up with the dirt and can be flung by the lawnmower.
•They bring insect pests such as lice, fleas, ticks and mites.
•They carry and spread diseases such as monkey pox and rabies.
•They cause erosion.
How to recognize a gopher problem:
•Fan-shaped piles of dirt or sand in the yard, as though someone randomly emptied a bucket of freshly dug dirt or sand
•Holes in turf or spongy spots
•Trees appear to be dying of thirst because they are. Gophers will eat tree roots, cutting off their access to water and nutrients.
•Trees are undermined and fall over
•Roots, bark, stems, leaves, fruit, or vegetables disappear from the lawn and garden
•Your dog is may dig and tear up the yard more than normal. A dog will smell and hear the rodent and try to find it.
•These signs may be seen at any time of year.
Minnesota Golden Gophers: Terrorizing opponent's lawn, trees, gardens, golf courses, sprinkler systems, and yards since 1851!!
p.s. You noted that your dog will "hear the rodent and try to find it". You dogs will hear us "rodents" making some noise in your building this weekend."It ain't over, baby! And that took only six seconds!"
USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

Re: UM @ SCSU: Everything this series should be
In further news a clipper is heading in tonight so I am sure the cakeeaters are probably putting on the chains and firing up a few escort services to make sure they can make it all the way to St. Cloud. It's been reported Lucia may be thinking about cancelling due to his inconvenience.
SCSU campus reports there may be a Lucia pet sighting in the near future followed with some "children of the corn" likenesses, blond hair and buck teeth and maybe a Chewbacca or Sasquatch mixed in. Nothing to get excited about.

Is this like Whose Line is It, where the points are made up and don't matter? Just trying to get a grasp of your system.

Re: UM @ SCSU: Everything this series should be
Just listened to the podcast of Nanne on Barreiro yesterday. They talked about this series for about 30 seconds. Lou basically sang Motzko's praises and said it was going to be a tough weekend for the Gophers because St. Cloud is playing as well as anybody. It was a shorter version of his usual weekly segment, but they don't talk a whole lot about the Gophers other weeks either. I understand the Wild are the bigger deal in town, but I don't think 5-8 minutes of college hockey talk per week out of the 30-40 Nanne is on is too much.Originally posted by SJHoveyPretty sure this post, made on January 3, 2016, when UNO was 14-3-1 and #2 in the pairwise, will go down in USCHO lore as The Curse of Tipsy McStagger.Originally posted by BrenthovenWe mourn for days after a loss, puff out our chests for a week or more after we win. We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.
