Go Gophers!!

Looks like he made the team. Regina is a boring place but lives football so he should have a fun time.

PS What are the odds that he plays for another team with a Gopher for a Mascot:

PPS Gainer sucks as compared to Goldy and is an embarassment to Gopher mascots everywhere.

 

[Governor Sibley]

Maybe he can catch canuck footballs.

 

[Winnipegopher]

Well they are bigger. Has to help. If he is like most other players, he may well end up catching something else in Regina.

I was looking for more

I had higher expectations for Ernie than what was delivered. He definitely had all of the tools, and turned out to be a decent Big 10 receiver. It probably is unfair, but I was always thinking that he'd be a team leader and unstoppable. I think looking at his physique and effortless glide made me think he'd be like Terrel Owens in his prime. Oh well, glad to see he can make a buck playing football.
