As an alum, I don't care either way.

Joe Dreyer

Good man

Jason Stephens

Cornhusker 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

Alan Sexton

I prefer national champions.....

Mick Hanson

To 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.

Joe Dreyer

cool and fun idea. promote this

ScubaJP

simple, rolls off the tongue easy

It seems more traditional and like the name better.

Loren Zimmerman

Corn is what made us unique, and famous. Even today, media uses Cornhuskers as a milestone to beat.

Eric Swanson

I prefer Bug Eaters !

John Kretzschmar

Because I was unable to choose BUG EATERS

Roger Lohr

Nebraska Cornhuskers are who we are.

Joe Dreyer

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.

Richard Conroy

No need to be ashamed of being a rural/farming/ranching state. Own it!

Valerie Gilmore

like the name as is, Cornhuskers, and want the uniform to stay the same too!

David McClymont

Worked out great for a long time. Why change?

Johnny Joyce

Original all the way. We are Nebraska.

David Weaver

I'm fine with either - call us the Bug Eaters, doesn't matter, just WIN.

Phil Wojtalewicz

If preceeded by "Nebraska", then "Cornhuskers" is appropriate. Keith Jackson calling a game where he always used "Cornhuskers" is legendary.

Sterling Miller

Love 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!

Joe Dreyer

like when they tried to replace Herbie with that stupid blow up doll baby

Charley Olson

You can always shorten it but nobody knows what a Husker is.....ultimately.

Kim R. Fandry

It will always be the Cornhuskers. Huskers is Media version so they do not have to type it out....lol

Scott RideOn

It is what it is. Husking corn was long, hard and tedious work. It yielded survival of those who feed us.

Pete Badendick

Tradition>>>

Shad Olson

The original. The proud fullness of the state's number one product. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, it should always be.

Robert Lloyd

We 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.

Jeff Ketzler

I 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.

Linda Holloway Dike

It really depends on what it is on(hats,shirts,car plates etc)

Kelly Sterling

It’s who we are

Bradley Scott Wulfekuhl

Because that is who we are. A life time Corn Boy

Jerry Williams

It 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.

John Flessner

just because

Dirk Schlicht

This was a change by "Dollar Bill" Remember that A.D.? We are CORNhuskers! Say it loud and proud.

Dan Cubrich

That stinking Callahan is the puke who changed it to the Huskers. It SHOULD BE the Cornhuskers.

Michael Vlach

Love the tradition of "Cornhuskers." Tradition.

Randy Gentry

That's the name. It was BugEaters then came NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS!

Todd Titus

Have been and always will be... CORNHUSKERS !!!!!

Tim Freed Sr.

Cornhuskers 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.

Danny Baker

Really, it does not matter to me, but for an official name, stay with tradition.

Arlyn Trauernicht

this is what it should have been all the time.

Ruthie Patterson

The Corn

Arlie Rauch

What's a Husker if it isn't corn? And I don't see any lawsuits in the near future!

Mike Bryant

That's who we are....THE CORNHUSKERS OF NEBRASKA.

Chris Martin

Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

Michael Graham

Better runner.

Carl Wiest

Thing is, they are both really good QB's if they get coached up right.

Steven Sabacky

More fluid on the pocket

James Stiver

I believe Sims is a very accurate passer and he appears to be a strong runner. I would have liked to see him run more in the spring game!

Casey Thompson

Jerry Williams

Casey always looked good considering always under pressure, can throw the long ball and run.

David Weaver

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

Richard Stotts

lets see who Coach starts....Casey is just better.

Andy Fields

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Scott Morris

I think Casey throws a lot better than Sims.

Randy Wolf

Better arm, better legs

Andy Morrison

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

Jim Firnhaber

I believe Casey is the better passer and likely reads defenses faster.

Kevin Bolin

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

travis stoler

they both play but casey starts

Nebraska's first two games should scare the fan base. Both on the road and with regard to Colorado, let's face it, they have way more swagger and are projecting way more aggressiveness and confidence. I think Big Red is 0-2 to start and Colorado will surprise.

Corey

Because of lack of athletes and confidence. It's coming again, you just refuse to see it.

Rhule has been there and done it at a d1 level. Sanders has not. Both programs are similar in records over the last few years. So I would lean on experience.

Steve Farrell

I just peaked at Colorado's schedule, it's brutal for first year coach

More Heart, Less Hype.

James Stiver

Rhule seems like he can get the team to believe in themselves and go out and have some fun with it and I think this will make a difference!

Brandon Pierce

We have the better team and better coach!

Dale Blackford

Colorados' schedule looks more formidable to them, then Nebraska's to them.

Richard Byers

Nebraska has a lot more developed talent in place. CU is rebuilding and had a lot of graduations and transfers out.

Ron Joseph

Colorado was much worse that Neb last year - a much deeper hole. We were close. With good coaching, we'll get over the top and to a bowl game. Besides Buffs suck

Thomas Wright

SHM...LOL Deion is just neon. All things that glitter aren't gold ! Colorado is going to find out the hard way just what type of coaching Deion is really capable of. I'm NOT drinking the Nebr kool-aid either, but let's face it, Rhule has put together quite the staff in comparison to Frost ! GBR !!!

Alex Perry

With Deion being Deion and getting rid of players by essentially forcing them out I believe this will be a setback in year one. With Rhule helping most Nebraska players stay and bringing in more talent I think they will have more success in season one considering they have more talent overall.
