Not many people in the world know how it feels to have 104,527 fans watching your every move.

Penn State University football players do on game day at Beaver Stadium.

Some might say the Nittany Lion mascot — as one of the most famous mascots in the world — has thousands of fans.

Add 8-year-old Alivia Glotz to the list.

Because she’s the new unofficial Penn State University “Mini Lion,” according to a sweet Facebook post on Sept. 1 by Bonnie Cummings Glotz, Alivia’s mom.

“Joe Glotz and I were lucky to get a tour (around campus) with the Mini Lion this morning,” said Bonnie, adding a blue heart emoji, football emoji, football players emoji, and another blue heart emoji to the post.

If you know Joe and Bonnie Glotz, their hearts actually do bleed blue & white.

Joe graduated from Penn State in 1996 with an Engineering degree, “and now being alumni, we love to attend football, wrestling, hockey, volleyball,” said Bonnie. “We love taking family and friends to all these events. Alivia was only six months old when she attended her first wrestling match and has only missed about three matches in her lifetime. She has even gone to Big Tens numerous times; we attend the banquets and many of the wrestlers know her.”

“She doesn’t go to all the (football) games with us,” said Bonnie.

And, technically, she didn’t go among the 104,527 fans August 31 in a 79-7 drubbing of Idaho.

It was “Penn State’s little mini-Lion,” said Bonnie.

“She doesn’t want anyone to know it’s her,” said her mom.

SPOILER: Don’t read any further unless you want to know who is the Penn State mini-Nittany Lion mascot.

“Joe made her Lion head,” said Bonnie. “All of his PSU schooling paid off. LOL.”

“It was Alivia’s idea because she wants to be a Nittany Lion someday when she attends the university at State College,” said Bonnie. “She wants to be the Lion at different events, not just football games!”

It wasn’t just meeting the “other” Nittany Lion, and getting pictures all over campus — including with a famous statue — that Bonnie posted on Facebook.

“She has great dance moves and an outgoing personality when she is in the costume,” said Bonnie. “She says she feels like a different person because no one knows it’s her, and you can be someone different. She likes that feeling. She loves all the attention and how happy everyone is.”

Alivia is an active girl.

“She likes Legos, four-wheeling, soccer, mountain biking, and BMX bike riding, traveling, camping… (and) going anywhere or hanging out with her best friend, Gaven,” said Bonnie.

But, make no mistake, the love of Penn State has been passed down.

“Being older parents, having our kids spread out in age is keeping us young,” said Bonnie. “Keeping us active.”

“Last year, a friend asked us for Halloween if she wanted to wear a Lion suit that she had made for her son,” said Bonnie. “Alivia has wanted to be it for quite a few years, but Joe knew he wanted the head to look very authentic, so he got to work for the next three weeks in the evenings after work, making the 3-D teeth at his shop, looking through all of her pictures, getting his wife to do some sewing.”

“The finished little Lion has been fun and maybe a start to a career in the future,” said Bonnie.

If you ask Alivia what she thinks about the whole thing, she might just “rub her ears to communicate, just like the big Lion,” said her mom.

Alivia was nearly as evasive as she was proud of the moment.

“I am the Nittany Lion,” she told her classmates in a homework assignment. “It’s a secret. Don’t tell anyone.”
