That is REALLY cute... And a new wave of Gopher fanatics is born...

Agreed! As a side note, I think my wife still thinks (or at least hopes) that I'm kidding when I say I hope the first song our future kids learn is the Rouser. =)

my 2 1/2 year old knows parts of it - we took her to the Florida Atlantic game this year and she picked up on it. her version goes something like this..."M-S-S-S, yeaaaaahh Gophers...Rah!"

I also have a 21 month old. My problem is my wife is a Madison graduate and she and her parents have bought my daughter two things I can't find in Gopher stock. A high quality DVD and a good Children's book. The bookstore only has an outdated book with the metrodome and Mason on it. The DVD manufacturer doesn't have Minnesota but does have Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State and Iowa.

Lastly I really would like a large nice quality stuffed Goldy. The have some pretty small and lame looking ones at the bookstore.

Any help for good references for these items would be appreciated. I've already got her lots of clothes. She can say the words "Bucky" and "On Wisconsin" easily and Goldy is a little rougher.

However my wife's fear, rightfully so, is that with my season Gopher football and basketball tickets she's going to swing hard to the Maroon and Gold.

Yea...Something tells me there are many other songs that will be easier to learn what with the spelling and all. :) I'd settle for the same kind of reaction my wife's goddaughter gives when she hears the any sort of music related to the Backyardigans/Dora (i.e. that is dancing and ridiculous levels of excitement/hand clapping).

Yet another reason to dislike in-laws! :) Thankfully my wife is a pretty passive OSU supporter (she's an Ohio native) since she went to undergrad @ MSU in Kentucky and Grad School at Cincinnati.

This is the best looking stuffed Goldy one I found via a quick Google search.
