Team Entrance

The lead-up to the team entrance for Nebraska begins with the student section holding up the "Go Big Red" flag sponsored by the Department of Engineering. This leads up to the cheerleading squad leading the crowd chanting "(East Stadium) HUSKER ... (West Stadium) POWER." After the Tunnel Walk video and music ('Sirius' by Allan Parsons Project) the team emerges from the locker room hallway. As they walk through the tunnel, players will tap the horseshoe above the locker room doorway. As they emerge onto the field, players walk under the "I PLAY FOR NEBRASKA" signage.

Mascots

Nebraska's mascot is Herbie Husker. He underwent a makeover before the start of the 2003 season.

Lil' Red is an inflatable mascot for the University of Nebraska, created before the start of the 1993 season.
