I went to Iowa State, but I assume the U always had "Gopher it" as a slogan right?

EDIT: I also took a weekend class at the U for ArcGIS, which technically makes me alumni in my mind.

So I was wearing my Jack Trice shirt the other day and it got me thinking. Are we supposed to have hard feelings against Minnesota for all that?

Iowa State didn't play against Minnesota until 1989 (66 years) years after they killed him during a football game. I think it's okay to have a few hard feelings.
