The rodent references further demean Wisconsin's mascot by "confusing" the pantless Badger nobodys with their football neighbor who are the  "gophers" - and gophers are in fact rodents.

Have been published by WSJ and other serials since at least the 1980's. They were funnier back then (so were Rolling Stone and the deceased National Lampoon), however, given all the lousy news and divisive opinion tensions published each day I still welcome them. They are a nice departure from the minefield of an increasingly dark and complicated world just like college football for some of us.

Definitely a missed opportunity. There were similar others missed too. Must be the publication deadline. And the fact we are perceived as residing in "flyover territory" insofar as the coasties are concerned.
