“It’s not a costume. It’s a lifestyle.”
University of Minnesota Duluth mascot Champ takes a quick break from homecoming festivities to chat with us this week.
Taylor Korum, aka Champ, has been donning a giant gray Bulldog head at UMD football and hockey games, homecoming parades, alumni gatherings, and other school sponsored events for the past five years.
