麻豆淫院

CU students have performed as varying versions of Chip, CU Boulder鈥檚 character buffalo mascot, since the 1980s.听

Aside from crowd-enchanting duties at CU athletic events, Chip has snowboarded the slopes of Winter Park, danced in a NASA spacesuit and conducted an orchestra in Macky Auditorium. Once, Chip breathed fire while wearing a dragon costume.听

Up to six students split character duties to cover Chip鈥檚 athletic, campus and community appearances 鈥� which can total as many as 400 events a year. The commitment is worth it.听
