Nebraska mascots through the years
Herbie Husker
Herbie Husker is the oldest current mascot of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's sports teams. Herbie was created by Lubbock, Texas, artist Dirk West and first appeared on the cover of the Husker's media guide in 1974. Soon after, he became the university's official mascot.
Herbie has gone through a few makeovers, the most recent coming in April of 2023 when he returned to a more classical look compared to the revised Herbie that was unveiled before the 2003 college football season. Until 2003 he was dressed in denim coveralls, a red cowboy hat emblazoned with a large N, and has an ear of corn in his pocket. After the 2003 makeover, he now dons a red cowboy hat, red workshirt, blue jeans and workboots. This was done to update the overall appearance of the state's agricultural workers and general public. During halftime of the 2006 Capital One Bowl, Herbie was named National Mascot of the year for 2005.

Lil' Red
Lil' Red is one of two mascot at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's athletics teams. Lil' Red is the newest mascot being created for the 1993 season to appeal younger Husker fans and Nebraska Women's Volleyball by Dr. Barbara Hibner after a state wide contest. He can be seen on the sidelines of a Nebraska football game at Memorial Stadium, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center during basketball games and volleyball games.
Lil' Red has won two major awards with the first one being the national championship at the NCAA National Mascot Competition in 1999. The second one was an introduction into the 2007 Mascot Hall of Fame, which selected its winners by an online vote.
Nebraska's mascots are two of the most popular figures around the community, as well as the state, and the pair usually generate quite a bit of energy wherever they appear.
Nebraska mascots through the years
The year was 1977 and Tom Osborne was beginning his first season as head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nebraska was looking for a cover for their 1977 media guide. Husker sports information director Don Bryant reached out to Dirk West, a Texas cartoonist who in 1971 had created the Texas Tech “Red Raider”, about drawing a cartoon that would symbolize the hardworking values of Nebraskans. The drawing was done and the when the ink dried, the first version of Herbie Husker came to life.

The Original Herbie Husker
There have been many iterations of Herbie but the original Herbie wore denim overalls, a large cowboy hat with an ‘N’ on it and an ear of corn in his pocket.
Herbie’s biggest makeover came right before the 2003 football season. Steve Pederson was a first year athletic director at Nebraska and it was decided that Herbie’s appearance needed to be updated to better reflect Nebraskans in the twenty-first century. Herbie’s overalls and shoes were swapped out for a red cowboy hat, blue shirt, denim jeans and work boots.

Reviews for "Discover the Magic of a River Cabin Escape"
1. John - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the River Magic Cabin. The pictures made it look like a serene and cozy getaway, but in reality, it was rundown and dirty. The furniture was old and uncomfortable, and the kitchen appliances were rusty and barely functional. The worst part was the constant noise from the nearby road, which made it impossible to relax and enjoy the supposed tranquility of the river. Overall, I would not recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.
2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
The River Magic Cabin fell short of my expectations. While the location next to the river was beautiful, the cabin itself lacked basic amenities. The bathroom was in dire need of renovations, with a leaky faucet and a shower that fluctuated between scalding hot and icy cold. The lack of Wi-Fi was also inconvenient, especially since this was supposed to be a remote getaway. Additionally, the cabin was infested with bugs, from spiders in the corners to ants in the kitchen. The lack of cleanliness and maintenance made my stay far from enjoyable.
3. Alex - ★★☆☆☆
I have mixed feelings about the River Magic Cabin. The location was indeed picturesque, with a stunning view of the river. However, the cabin itself was lacking in several aspects. The furniture was worn out and uncomfortable, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The advertised "fully equipped kitchen" was hardly adequate, with a limited selection of utensils and cookware. The cabin also did not have air conditioning, which made the summer heat almost unbearable. While the potential for a great stay was there, the cabin's shortcomings dampened my experience.
