MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — University of Minnesota mascot Goldy Gopher, usually so huggable, turned out to be anything but soft when a youth football player got in his way during a halftime exhibition at the Minnesota Vikings’ game this weekend.
Goldy plowed through the helmet-wearing young defender during the game that pitted mascots against youth players Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. WCCO-TV reports no one was hurt.
Goldy linked to a video of the play on his Twitter feed and urged the coach to put him in the lineup.
