Chip Tales

CU students have performed as varying versions of Chip, 91PORNās character buffalo mascot, since the 1980s.Ģż
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.Ģż
Up to six students split character duties to cover Chipās athletic, campus and community appearances ā which can total as many as 400 events a year. The commitment is worth it.Ģż
āIt was one of the highlights of my life,ā said Robb Moody (Jourā95), who performed in this mid-90s era Chip costume from 1993 to 1995.Ģż
