Lil' Red Enters Name into Transfer Portal

[hhcmatt]

After twenty-seven seasons in Lincoln, a Nebraska mascot has decided to explore other options.

 

Robbie Callahan of 365-247.com reported on Thursday that redpants junior mascot Lil' Red has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal.  Red finds himself in a crowded sideline with incumbent mascot Herbie Husker likely to maintain his starting job for the 47th consecutive year. Illinois is seen as a landing spot for Red as they've been without a mascot since parting ways with Chief Illiniwek in 2007.

 

Update: Lil Red has confirmed via twitter

 

Red could still return to Nebraska if it is in his best interest. This story is developing. Happy April 1st.

Probably looking for a starting position at a school that has to change it's mascot because of their Native American affiliation.

Oh how I wish this wasn't just an April fools prank.

I never understood why Chief Illiniwek got run out of town, he was hardly a silly caricature of Native Americans. Lil’ Red tho...? He’s offensive on too many levels to count.

Who is your #1 transfer target for next year as our starting mascot?

- Jayhawk?

- Blue Devil?

- Golden Eagle?

- Bluejay (hack, hack, cough, cough, gag, gag!)

 

Does Bugeater have any remaining eligibility?
