Husker coach Bo Pelini had company as he conducted the Tunnel Walk for Saturday's Spring Game.

Wearing a stone-faced expression, Pelini cradled a cat in his arms as HuskerVision showed the coach leading his team onto the field.

It continued an ongoing joke Pelini has had with popular Twitter poster @FauxPelini, who uses a doctored photo of the Husker head coach holding a cat as his avatar.

The crowd roared as the real Pelini held the cat into the air like Simba in "The Lion King."
