Cornhuskers
Corn is what made us unique, and famous. Even today, media uses Cornhuskers as a milestone to beat.
I like what coach Frost said. We are not ashamed of where or who we are. We are Nebraska in the middle of cornfields. We are the Nebraska Cornhuskers. But Huskers can be uses sometimes.
Reply Replylike the name as is, Cornhuskers, and want the uniform to stay the same too!
Reply ReplyIf preceeded by "Nebraska", then "Cornhuskers" is appropriate. Keith Jackson calling a game where he always used "Cornhuskers" is legendary.
Reply ReplyLove this name. It's unique in the world of college football. Huskers is okay every once in a while, but I truly dislike how it has become the "official" name. NU needs to change it's branding!
Reply ReplyYou can always shorten it but nobody knows what a Husker is.....ultimately.
Reply ReplyIt will always be the Cornhuskers. Huskers is Media version so they do not have to type it out....lol
Reply ReplyIt is what it is. Husking corn was long, hard and tedious work. It yielded survival of those who feed us.
Reply ReplyThe original. The proud fullness of the state's number one product. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, it should always be.
Reply ReplyWe were always the cornhuskers. We were the dominant college team for the last half century... as the cornhuskers. We are huskers only because because we husk the corn.
Reply ReplyI am a little tired of everyone shortening names. If it is Rosenblatt, it isn't the Blatt. I could go on, but it is and always will be the Cornhuskers.
Reply ReplyIt does not make a big difference to me. But being old I did get use to "Cornhuskers." Plus I actually used a glove and hook to husk corn.
Reply ReplyThis was a change by "Dollar Bill" Remember that A.D.? We are CORNhuskers! Say it loud and proud.
Reply ReplyThat stinking Callahan is the puke who changed it to the Huskers. It SHOULD BE the Cornhuskers.
Reply ReplyCornhuskers has a charm to it that transcends college football history. It evokes vivid memories of players on the field throughout the decades. Close your eyes and remember.
Reply ReplyReally, it does not matter to me, but for an official name, stay with tradition.
Reply ReplyWhat's a Husker if it isn't corn? And I don't see any lawsuits in the near future!

As an alum, I don't care either way.
ReplyCornhusker reinforces the "Nebraska is nothing but cornfields & farmers" stereotype. Huskers isn't my favorite but it is like Buckeyes in that when it's said, nuts isn't actually what comes to mind
ReplyI prefer national champions.....
ReplyTo be honest, it's what I use, but we are both, no need to pick one. Maybe for the spring game, if both sides are fair. one can be the Cornhuskers, and the other Huskers, winner gets the nickname for the season.
Replysimple, rolls off the tongue easy
