Herbie Husker Update

Well, the Nebraska Athletic Department is at it again, it would seem. If they're not convincing scholarship players not to transfer or finding defense attorneys for players, they're "remaking" the mascot. This is just one of several updates the Huskers' AD has put out on the diet and new appearance of the 30-year old mascot.

It would seem that Herbie fell off the wagon but is now off junk food thanks to "additional nutritional counseling" and "extra running and conditioning workouts with the football players".

Does anyone at Nebraska think this sort of effort is going to vault them any higher than their miserable Independence Bowl loss to Mississippi?!

To their credit, not even the students believe that the Cornhuskers stand much of a chance this season.
