kramer Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Lots of talk going on about other schools having to change their nicknames because some parties are offended by it, namely the Native Americans, but what if the Huskers had to change their name. Let's say the farmers became very upset by it. What names could you propose??

junior4949 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 We did change our name some years back from Cornhuskers to just Huskers. Apparently, it had something to do with the image we were portraying to out of state students. We didn't want to look to "hickish" I guess. Quote Link to comment
JR 5 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'm pretty certain that officially, we are still the Cornhuskers. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Bugeaters? Laughing at your own jokes. You better give back your nickel. How about the Beef? Wait that stupid name is already taken. Quote Link to comment
gin_32 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Weren't we once called Rattle Snake Boys and changed it to Bugeaters then to Cornhuskers. I think either Iowa or Kansas had the Cornhusker name first....? Nebraska Prairie Dogs.....sounds threatening Quote Link to comment
