knapplc Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 https://www.instagram.com/p/BPvBoSQjzM9/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! 3 Quote Link to comment

He is on roids. And he wears a dress. He's a very complicated individual. 2 Quote Link to comment

ColoNoCoHusker Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Here is a history of our mascots -> http://www.huskerj.com/mascots-logos.htm Two wrongs on one bike... Either bulk up current Herbie, go back to old Herbie, or use Harry Husker... 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've always thought he should look like this dude Quote Link to comment
Cornhole Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 20170126_113142.jpg I've always thought he should look like this dude We could hire this guy ^ to be Herbie. He could powerbomb the sh!t out of the other team's mascot before each game. 1 Quote Link to comment

BoNeyard Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 First and foremost we have to go back to using Cornhuskers instead of just Huskers everywhere. 4 Quote Link to comment
