jjamuss Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 ha, funny you bring up lil Red.. at first I was like, what the hell is that inflatable doll? then I saw him suck in his arms and head and body and then blow back up super fast and expand to about 9 ft tall and bounce on his head and i liked him...kinda trippy to me instead of creepy! I for one am more displeased with the herbie. I like the way he walks in slow motion and slowly pumps his fist in front of his body and then raises his #1 finger, but I don't like the way he looks, really. I wish we just had a blonde dude in overalls with a cowboy hat on and a corn cob in his pocket. seems more real to me anyway Totally!! its like the Village People did a make over on him... and now he is all queer eye. Bring back the old herbie! Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Lil' Red is absolutely cool. I don't get it, I guess people think it's cool to make fun of him or something?? He's a very unique mascot, what's not to like? Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think Lil Red is pretty sweet. The suit itself is creatively designed. The reason most people have to say they hate him is because it's football and everything has to be machismo in order for it to be cool. Well, that attitude might be helpful in picking a good middle linebacker, but on the sidelines, I don't see what the big deal is. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 He's a condom!!!! NOT cool! Quote Link to comment
jjamuss Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 He's a condom!!!! NOT cool! would that make him a Trojan? Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's one of my goals in life to pop Lil Red with a pointy stick.... Well, use one of those yardage markers you were telling us about in Ames!! Cy talked a big game about doing exactly that last season when the Huskers went to Ames, he chickened out I guess.

Dave M. Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The creepiest mascot in all the land is that freaky tree they have at Stanford. DITTO!!! The tree is creepy and weird beyond words! Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Guys, c'mon. The creepiest mascot is obviously Holtz for ND... Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 As to the topic, I have no idea why people don't like Lil' Red. He's cool. He's more interesting to young kids, and he was pretty unique at the time he was created. Unique? Looks like Bob's Big Boy got molested by one of those pop-up inflatable clowns our parents used to get us when we were five..back when they actually wanted aggressive kids. its not you getting the comments... maybe if I had a pair of tits it would be different for me to speak my mind? How many do you have? I've only seen Lil'y on TV...been too frightened by him/her/it to attend a game since it showed up. But then..awhile back..I was at a restaurant with my eight year old Son when a clown came in the room making balloon animals for all the kids. My Son picked up on my uneasiness right away..The only phobia he knew about from me before was bees. (I love heights, Dogs, Wimmen not wearing lingerie, and driving really fast). I just kept saying (jokingly)..come on..lets leave before the scary clown sees us..but my Son wouldn't let go of my arm..Then the clown sat at our table. Don't remember much after that...I may have smeared jello over the floor to trip him up...I just hope his death was quick and painless. Quote Link to comment

Yeah..and the mention of Lil' having his/her monthly "visitor" was a little over the top. But did we not already go over this with a pointy stick? Quote Link to comment

VA Husker2 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 You wouldn't believe what showed up at my bachelor party....midget stripper dressed up like a clown and they tied me to a chair. I didn't think it was funny at all. Do you have photos? I would be very interested in seeing such a phenom. Midgets (opps, sorry Little people) rule. Quote Link to comment
