In the 1930s, the University of Minnesota’s football team became the Golden Gophers. Their mascot, “Goldy” Gopher, debuted in 1952. Minnesota’s nickname, “Gopher State,” dates back to 1857, inspired by a cartoon mocking the $5 million Railroad Loan. The cartoon depicted sly railroad barons as striped gophers.
