Zachary Sims, dressed as “Grey Dawg,” rests during the first quarter of the Southern Illinois University vs Western Kentucky men’s basketball game, Dec. 7, 2011 at the SIU Arena. Sims, a senior studying Tourism Administration at SIU, says that being a mascot is a very big secret. “I remember faces really well,” said Sims, “so I’ll know most of the people I take photos with and I’ll see them on campus, they have no idea.”
