Hello All, I am Mad Mike's daughter. First off he started off doing Mad Mike for the Chiefs and Nebraska contacted him to do it for them as well. My Uncle, along with my father, designed the Husker character; it was a spin-off from a similar character they created for the Chiefs for their creation "hanker-Chief". Mad Mike also wrote and performed "I love being a Husker" and "Big Red Fever Attack". These were paid gigs. After leaving Huskers he went on to do it for the Chargers for a few years. He retired from Mad Mike and is now the Rev. Michael Lyons in KC. That's the story in a nutshell
