Don’t worry, the ever vigilant U of M administration has already reprimanded Goldy. (It’s a lot easier to reprimand him/her than double dipping faculty members or conflict of interest policy violators…)
From the Star-Tribune
…we received this evening an official response from the University of Minnesota. Daniel Wolter, the director of University News Service, was kind enough to pass it along. Here it is:
"We have had a discussion with Goldy about the incident in Penn State on Saturday. It certainly wasn’t his intent to offend anyone or trivialize their religion. The life of a mascot at a sporting event is fast-paced and enormously high energy. This was plainly a mistake. On behalf of Goldy and the University of Minnesota, I want to apologize to the Penn State player involved and anyone else who may have taken offense from this incident. We have reiterated to Goldy the importance of exercising appropriate religious sensitivity in the future."
Stay on this important stuff, UD!

Actually, Goldy is the devil, at least according to the editorial cartoonist at the Minnesota Daily:
