The Eagle Has Landed At Mascot Boot Camp

(above) Will Dave Raymond's Mascot Boot Camp be able to transform DU student Scott Fuson into a "Pioneer Mascot" this weekend

The eagle has landed or perhaps we should say the red tailed-hawk replacement has landed safely in Kutztown, Pennsylvania. DU student Scott Fuson was able to get out of Denver yesterday and make his connecting flight to Allentown without a hitch.

Today he begins Mascot Boot Camp under the tutelage of former Phillie Phanatic Dave Raymond. On the first day of camp the students don't wear costumes, but go through various drills to express degrees of emotion without using words or facial expressions.

They also learn character walks, dancing and miming on Day 1.

Scott has been selected to wear the unofficial Pioneer Mascot costume for the next year. The mascot is being purchased with alumni donations and upon delivery will be donated to the students at the University of Denver.
