T_O_Bull Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Steve Peterson coined the term "Husker Nation." Thanks Steve, but I always felt it was a bit cold and didn't necessairly have the heat or passion that I felt as a Husker fan. I also felt it spread us out a bit too much and didn't represent the closeness I feel toward all those thousands of Husker fans who are bonded by our loyalty the the BIG RED. I, therefore, call on all my BIG RED Brothers and Sisters to banish the cold and distant Husker Nation of Steve Peterson Only to be reBOrn as HUSKER FAMILY. There is a closeness, a warmth, a fire and a passion that defines FAMILY. When you belong to a family you can disagree with, fight with and get mad at other members of your family but in the end it is the family and its members that you are loyal to and will always a part of. So my BIG RED Brothers and Sisters let us put asunder the term Husker Nation and for evermore be known as... HUSKER FAMILY. >>>T_O_B Quote Link to comment

Not sure the Husker Family will stick...but then again, we are all about tradition and covering each other's back....so maybe. I think the phrase Husker Nation is unfortunately embedded into our history, and won't ever be gotten rid of completely. Quote Link to comment

HuskerExpat Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 IMHO "Husker Nation" is far superior to "Husker Family." Husker Family sounds a little dorky to me. I'm ok with dorky, but not for my football team. Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I like "Husker Nation". And I don't care where it started. Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The only problem with Husker Nation I have is that any fan base can coin themselves "_____ Nation". It's very unoriginal but it is still a good slogan no matter who it came from. Plus HuskerBoard is the Heartbeat of Husker Nation. Quote Link to comment
