Chip, the University of Colorado Buffaloes’ mascot, nearly lost his Rocky Mountain oysters on Saturday.

He and the poor person wearing his costume accidentally blasted himself in the groin with a T-shirt cannon during the Buffs’ football game against the University of New Hampshire. He went down hard.

Oh, give me a home where the Buffalo groans...

The T-shirt! His groin! It works on so many levels! pic.twitter.com/L5vroxY2sm — Dan Lucero (@danluceroshow) September 19, 2018

Chip got carted off Folsom Field in Boulder and Twitter buzzed about his misfortune:

My view of @Chipthebuffalo being carted off the field. I heard a loud bang and saw Chip down. Seems like a malfunction with the t-shirt cannon pic.twitter.com/GIq2P1VTXG — SilverBuff (@silver_buff) September 16, 2018

The misfire didn’t keep him away from the sideline for long, however.

He eventually returned to see the Buffaloes complete their 45-14 victory over New Hampshire, The Denver Post reported.

“I’m good guys!” Chip wrote on Twitter.

I’m good guys! Thanks for all the love ❤️ pic.twitter.com/VK9vKm8xvM — Chip the Buffalo (@Chipthebuffalo) September 15, 2018

The Buffs remain unbeaten. Can’t say the same for Chip.

When Colorado hosts UCLA on Friday, Sept. 28, we recommend that he stay away from the souvenir-blasting weaponry.
