How bout lil red going bye bye? Thoughts. Pro/con? Indifference?

The faster this happens the better! Someone posted a picture of the old school paper mache Herbie Husker who looked like he had stayed up a week drinking coffee and taking white crosses. That Herbie would be cool to see out there for a cameo appearance.

Off topic, but you had to be a real man to get tackled on that turf. That stuff really hurt. Off-off topic, look at that lovely crown!

Those pants were made with the bullet proof polyester/rayon blend. N
Now that you mention it, you're probably right. They have a little more shimmer than khakis. Not sure about the bullet proof thing, though. Let's pretend they are ;)

If you stood on the sideline, you could see people on the other sideline basically from the waist up. There was that much crown to it back in the 80's anyway.

I remember that . Jack was kinda annoying at times but he definitely added a little bit of"out there" trivia things that were interesting

Yes still carried over to solich. The belief was that it helped increase speed with the option AND messed with opponents passing game. True or not, we had more crown than almost anyone
Took it out for Callahan. Hated it. Wonder if it would be allowed to put back. I also miss AstroTurf. But field turf does look better.

The marketing department of the athletic department was looking at several things back then to make us look more hip and less hick. One of the things looked like a power ranger. Ugh. Changing cornhuskers to huskers. In retrospect, trying to shed our identity was a mistake. Embrace your culture and who you are and quit trying to be something you are not.

He looks lost in thought. Probably thinking how sweet that stadium would look with some sky boxes and more tiers.
