But the Chicken is respectful of the Nittany Lion and is not out for the mascot's job, Mitchell said. I really have no animosity towards the Lion. I think it's great if someone has a lot of Penn State pride and wants to dress up like a chicken. The Chicken really loves his work, Mitchell said. He is a student and delivers for Cluck U during the week, but he can be found masquerading as the chicken on weekends.
People have a lot of fun with it.
There's no way that I could go to a game and not do this now. This is the best thing that I have ever done. I love it. It's hard not to be inspired by the way people treat you. The hardest part of being the chicken is that no one knows who he really is, Mitchell said.
