	Herbie Husker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Introduced in the early 1970s, Herbie has gone through a few makeovers, the most recent coming before the 2003 college football season.
		During halftime of the 2006 Capital One Bowl, Herbie was named National Mascot of the year for 2005.

	McCook Daily Gazette: Story: Herbie Husker named top mascot
		Scott Bruhn/NU Media Relations Herbie Husker of the University of Nebraska was named Mascot of the Year.
		NcLEAN, Va. -- After months of fierce competition, University of Nebraska's Herbie the Husker proved he's top of the heap, having raked in the most votes to earn the coveted title of Capital One Mascot of the Year.
		Herbie (No. 1) took Purdue Pete to school while Smokey bit off a little more than he could chew, being eliminated by Massachusetts' Sam the Minuteman (No. 2).

		HUSKERS' "O" A NO Somehow, one of the guys I went to the game with Saturday, was able to finagle our way into the President's Pre-Game Luncheon held on the second floor of the Hard Rock Cafe at 14th and P before each Husker home game.
		Out popped the "new" Herbie Husker (brainchild of new AD Steve Pederson) and looking dorkier than ever as he unwrapped a flag with the #256 denoting the number of consecutive home sellouts.
		Herbie's entrance was accompanied by the theme from "Rocky".

	Herbie Husker gets revamped image - Sports
		Although Herbie was unavailable for comment and members of the NU athletic department have kept their lips mostly sealed, Assistant Athletic Director Boyd Epley said he thinks Husker fans will like what they see.
		Pederson announced that Herbie Husker, the NU athletic department's mascot since 1974, would be placed in a strength and conditioning program to change his appearance and make him more fan friendly.
		In other words, Herbie was out of shape and needed to overhaul his image before he could return as the face of NU athletics.

	THE BUGMUNCH
		Herbie, 30, had been put on a strict conditioning program Feb. 11 under the watchful eye of Husker Performance Team Member Mike Arthur in hopes of getting the longtime mascot into shape for the Cornhuskers' first game.
		In addition to carrying the "N" flag as he and the yell squad run out of the south tunnel on game days, Herbie has forged a solid reputation for sauntering along the sidelines while swaying his head from side to side in search of a fight with the opposing mascot.
		At this time we feel that it is in Herbie's best interest to be in a structured environment, and that means to get him back onto the sidelines as soon as possible.

		It is also a good bet that this piece pre-dates the '70 National Championship season, as it doesn't contain anything to commemorate it or any other championship Harry was first drawn as a caricature by the art director of the Nebraska Farmer Magazine in 1964 and adopted as the official mascot in 1965.
		Not sure of the exact year, but this piece was probably sold to help promote Herbie Husker as the new mascot in the mid 70's.
		This 4" rocks glass is not dated, but Herbie Husker was the official mascot from 1974 on, replacing Harry.
