Welcome to Lincoln, Nebraska...virtually 26.3 miles from the middle of nowhere.
The RUTS PR Staff was fortunate to sit down with Coach UTVOL54 for an exclusive interview as the team rode the bus to Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. The topics were varied, but Coach UTVOL54 seemed most concerned about bashing the Cornhuskers' famous mascot Herbie The Husker.
"We're really excited about playing our first game in that stadium," said Coach UTVOL54. "It's a night game, it will be a sea of red, and it will be a fun atmosphere. But what the heck is up with their mascot?"
Herbie The Husker, the Cornhuskers mascot, and coach ccut's roommate (until he gets married this summer) certainly has some interesting body features.
"His head is humongous, his jeans are way too tight, and he wears them tucked into those ugly brown boots,"said UTVOL54. "Plus he's got that huge chin dimple! Who does he think he is, John Travolta?"
Coach UTVOL54 whole-heartily agreed with Sports Illustrated's recent cover story proclaiming Herbie the Husker the creepiest mascot of all time.
"I think the current Herbie is a semi upgrade from Nebraska's previous lame attempts of an intimidating mascot," said LSU's coach. "But you have to think that the only reason the current Herbie is still able to hang around is because he's roomies with coach ccut. That whole living situation is really weird and awkward."
Coach UTVOL54 cited several docu-dramas that have been produced by the Nebraska Athletic Department chronicling the life and times of Herbie as to why he thinks the young whipper-snapper of a mascot is so creepy.
"Just check out those clips," he said. "Makes you want to lock your children up at night and not even let them attend the game."
Sample video clips can be seen HERE, HERE, and HERE. "They're rubbish," says UTVOL54. "And whoever wrote that theme song, probably ccut, needs to take a lesson from Simon Cowell, and Raaaaaaaise the Baaaaaaaar. Plus, I think it's plain to see that ccut and Herbie are cuddlers. Take a look at the screen shot from that last video....uh weird!
The score will be settled tonight at Memorial Stadium. The #23 Huskers look to avoid starting the season 0-3, while the 2nd-ranked Tigers look to continue to prove their coach wasn't just offering up bulletin board material when he predicted a national title in 2011. It's a night game in Lincoln, the Huskers and their fans will be ready, and ESPN Gameday forsees a possible upset in this one. Nebraska 27, LSU 24
