What’s your (unpopular) Husker hot take?

Not sure if this is unpopular, but the fat, Herbie in overalls should return and be the official mascot. I also like Lil Red.

I like the block N, the pencil N (what I call N on the helmet, and script Huskers, but the script Huskers on top of the block N was a terrible logo. 

I like that Nebraska has Adidas as the uniform and gear outfitter. Too many teams have Nike, so it makes NU unique, and Under Armor sucks. 

 
Bill Callahan's offense at NU wasn't good, until he knew he was getting fired at the end of 2007, and he decided to play things like a video game and now the lasting memory was "Callahan would have succeeded if he had just fired Kevin Consgrove". There is a reason Callahan hasn't been a head coach again at any level.

Lawrence Phillips was my favorite Husker player of all time. I cannot defend what he did to Kate McEwen, but for sheer player on the field, LP was and always be my favorite player.

Also, other than some great moments against Colorado, Brook Berringer wasn't all that great in 1994. He had a couple good games, but the defense and running game carried the team when he was the QB.

Huskers should be 7-1 or 6-2

:HotTake:

Kicking game, FG, XP, punting, punt returns, crucial fumbles

Missed kicks, safety, fumble & gave 9 points to Illinois - W

Huskers were set for the win against Michigan St 20-17

Huskers were up on Michigan and that was set up for a win 29-26

Against Minn, missed XP again, missed chip FG, and somehow Yant trips up.

Nebraska fans overrate the "big running back" and do it now as a replacement in the head for the old fullback position. Many older NU fans liked the fullbacks more than the I-back because the NU fullbacks were many times white, small-town Nebraskans while the I-back were black players from Omaha or other areas of the country. 

 
There’s an over saturation of media and former players covering the team that it becomes nauseating.

And it’s hard to even enjoy a win long enough before nit-picky complaining and doubt sets in. I get we suck, but would like to become a winning team again before being overly critical of winning.
