It appears the governor of Minnesota was making a political statement when he chose not to wear the "current" North Dakota Sioux uniform. Probably the use of an indian as a mascot issue. Governor Hoeven didn't get his moneys worth in the return for this bet. North Dakota should protest the use of a rodent as a mascot. Did Minnesota get permission from the Faternal Order of Rodents to use weasels as a mascot ? Gophers suck as does their "dead beat" governor.
