About us
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

“Lil Red” scares the bejeezus out of me.

My nightmares consist of Lil’ Red and Shoney’s Big Boy chasing me through a hellscape of grey stone littered with the bones of dead children.

Holly: you don’t know “surreal” until you’ve seen Big Red crammed into a washing machine with a clear front. Plus, I hear he feeds off the souls of the young.

Papa Lou BSU says:
Big Red? Really, Holly? He’s Grimace’s red-suited cousin! How can he be scary?
Now, Mayor McCheese… *there’s* a cause for a full-fledged anxiety attack…
(Oh, and on my trip to Lincoln last year I learned that even Nebraska fans hate Lil’ Red, in their we’re-Nebraskans-so-we-hate-politely sort of way, of course…)

I hate that God forsaken thing with an unquenchable passion. I still have night terrors of that little red bastard dancing around on his head on the sideline just feet away from my face during the ‘95 national championship.

Kanu says:
Big Red = not scary. BUt maybe that’s cause I worked in the WKU AD and he sat in a cardboard box in the office next to mine all week when not in use.
Now that Lil’ Red fucker on the other hand, something ain’t right there. Gives me the willies something fierce, as does “Big Tex” robotic cowboy at the Texas State Fair {Texas-OU}. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tex
Creepy as hell, both.

@ #6
Yes, most of us Nebraskans secretly hate Li’l Red, but you’ll never know from our placid demeanor. (Kind of like that frigid older aunt who will give you a crisp $10 bill in your birthday card but is secretly repulsed by your whore-iness.)
Nebraska: passive-aggressiveness by the bushel!
Reminder: Li’l Red vs Big Red 9/4/2010 in Lincoln. Apocalypse begins here!

After work release from 10 hours of CE classes today, the last thang I need to see was Beeg Red.
He needs some purple DRANK. I need lotsa alcohol here in Nashvega$.

Thanks for the nightmare fuel =P.
How the heck can a proud program like Nebraska come up with something so cheesy/freaky for a mascot? It really boggles the mind.

Normal Lil’ Red: Not that scary. Certainly not clown scary.
Upside-Down Lil’ Red: FUCKED WITH A THOUSAND SHOEHORNS.

I was afraid of Lil Red at first but I have grown to love him. I still don’t like it when he contracts his head inside his body though….a bit demonic.
On a completely unrelated note. Orson looks just like Ben Gibbard; has anyone else noticed this?

I notice that, while all the white guys are presumably watching the game, the black dudes got their eye on Big Red.

Holy crap! I was telling my wife Orson looked like Ben Gibbard only yesterday.

Mr. Pelican Pants says:
Lil Red should be the poster child for pedophiles
….is he one of the original members of “The Children of the Corn”? I wonder if it is he that “walks behind the rows”? He is probaly carrying a sling blade, some people calls it a kaiser blade, or a sickle.
I think the movie Scream would have been alot more scarier had the killer been wearing a Lil Red mask.

Magic Hobo says:
Is it just me, or are all “humans-as-mascot-suits” a bit creepy? Surely Wake Forest could get an actual crazy old man to bomb around on a motorcycle, or Mich. State could dress someone up in some fake plate armor and a shiny-painted plastic sword to be a real-life Sparty.
Non-animals-as-mascots (Bucky) < human-suits as mascots (Sparty) < anthropomorphic animal suits as mascots (90% of mascots) < real people as mascots (The Leprechaun) < real animals as mascots (THE MAJESTIC BUFFALO)
