Nope, other side of the country in fact :) Is there another mediocregopher?

Not that I'm aware of, but our (is it still 'our' if you graduated ten years ago?) mascot is the gopher.

Of course, the original artist didn't have a gopher picture to go on when he drew Goldy, so he used a chipmunk instead, assuming there wasn't any difference (http://www.mndaily.com/2003/07/21/goldie-really-gopher)
