realhuskerpower #ThrowbackThursday on how Herbie got to be how he looks today! Strength Coach Boyd Epley asked his son J.R. to draw a new Herbie. (right picture) The old Herbie was patterned after a caricature of Don Bryant. During the time when the mascot was being made, Epley released announcements that Herbie was in training. This was the brain child of Chris Anderson (SID). Press releases showed Herbie on the Stairmaster, running stadium steps and lifting weights with the football players. He was even shown getting a haircut at the Clipper barber shop!

Herbie at least needs some muscles like Sparty

Herbie looks like he lost 400 pounds and now he's just got loose skin everywhere

We need to bring back one of these corn head guys

I don't think we should be influenced by Sparty. He is on roids. And he wears a dress. He's a very complicated individual.

Which bathroom does Sparty use?

I don't even want to go there. I mean really, I DON'T want to go to that restroom.

Two wrongs on one bike...

Either bulk up current Herbie, go back to old Herbie, or use Harry Husker...

We could hire this guy ^ to be Herbie. He could powerbomb the sh!t out of the other team's mascot before each game.

Anyone remember this guy? He actually looked like Herbie.

First and foremost we have to go back to using Cornhuskers instead of just Huskers everywhere.
