Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts,
Greasy grimey gopher guts, greasy grimey gopher guts,
Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts,
And I forgot my spoon!

Remember that old ditty?
Go Stamps!

Sorry Kate but we don't need that rodent digging up our field. You "gappers" can pout all you like but this is the way it has to be.

Aha, so I am with the long-winded-provincial-name-football-if-you-can-call-it-that-team. After all that I forget, is it stamps or stomps? Anyway, in this situation, I will defer to kate: Go PHER, go.

great piece of grapghics.

I suggest all Saskies turn u[p as gophers. That'll screw them. t5hey would have to eject all of them from the ball park.

Sask. and Alberta go ahead and beatup each other about your pathetic mascots. Send the winner to B.C. and watch the "Felions" devour all you can muster weather its Road Apples or Prarie Dog makes no differance.
Go Stamps Go and take the Riders with you!!!!!
LOL

Gainer is the ugliest looking badger I've every seen. Has the designer of the costume ever seen a badger? They've got, like, stripes on their head and really big, sharp claws and teeth. This thing doesn't look anything like a badger! No wonder he was banned from the field.

I revised my Gainer video and I'd like to share this new edition on YouTube or ReginaRadio.com (for a better quality video version, see the latter).

Just so all of you gopher fans out there will know, Gainer will be allowed into the stadium. Just not onto the field.

Then again, who really cares about a gopher??
Esp when you have that great QB, Crandell!!
All the tools, but no tool box.

The Roughriders truly need a new mascot.

But where the hell do Roughrider fans get off using "We Are The Champions" as theme music?

... as one who grew up on the prairies, I can understand Calgary's concern over Gainer - gopher holes are a danger for horses.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
