tattooedhusker Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I prefer "Cornhuskers" but have no problem with "Huskers" either. I use both, depends on the context I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 When speaking I like Cornhuskers. Saying Nebraska Huskers just doesn't sound right. As a logo on a cap - Huskers is fine. I voted Cornhuskers. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It's the difference between formal and informal address for me. When I'm introducing my boss to someone in a formal setting, It's "This is my boss, Robert Debondehaven." But when I'm introducing him to someone in a familiar setting, it's, "This is my boss, Bob." Nebraska Cornhuskers is the formal name, what you should lead the article or broadcast with. After that, Huskers is OK. If an announcer uses "Cornhuskers" all game long it seems unnecessarily formal, as if we're not part of the club, outsiders. It always made me feel like they were talking about their buddy, someone personable and approachable, when they call us Huskers after the game starts. It always seemed like Keith Jackson would revert to calling us the Huskers as the game wore on. 5 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) What knapp is saying is if you wear a Nebraska tshirt it should say Huskers but if you wear a red Nebraska leisure suit while drinking fancy alcohol with important people it should say Cornhuskers. 40 minutes ago, GSG said: He probably said it HE DIDN'T!

HE DIDN'T! Don't forget the monocle, the monocle is key. Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The "debate" can be reduced to the simple rule that if your are using the full team name it's Nebraska Cornhuskers. Nicknames are fair game, but Huskers are the obvious default. #ThreadKiller Also, I just realized this is still a thing on the board... #TeamKiller 2 Quote Link to comment
