flatwaterfan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 One thing I will have to get use to is that NU is Northwestern not Nebraska. I have clicked an NU link twice on the BTN thinking it was about the Huskers. I know they won't want to switch to NWU (which I think makes sense and what it should be) Since we are the new kid on the block I think we need to change it. Do you change it to UNL? UN? NebU? UNeb? NeU? UNe? NEBR? Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 How bout we dont change and demonstrate through dominance and crushing their souls who NU is and has always been! Not to mention who the real Big Red is too. Just saying... Quote Link to comment
AFhusker Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I've always seen NU as NEB over there. Which is fine since we are the new guys. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We should just go with "N." They'll know what it means. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirt316 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We are and always will be NU. Anyone who thinks differently on that issue can get off the boat. Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Its NEB when they shorten it on TV. or UNL, Nebraska, Big Red Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 We're going to be NU. When we invited the other 11 teams to join our conference, they knew they'd have to make some concessions. This is one of them. 4 Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We should just go with "N." They'll know what it means. Especially when we take that "N" and put it there, right there underneath their chins for 4 quarters and get after somebody's ass! Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is the "University of Nebraska" shortened to "NU"? Shouldn't it be "UN"? Just something that's puzzled me for a long time. I remember a friend had a shirt in like third grade that said "UN" and I made fun of him because Nebraska is "NU". Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I would think Northwestern would want to go by NW when they play us. It's the only way they'll put a "W" on the stat sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Nebraska = NU Northwestern = nú (which means slave or servant, in Mandarin pinyin for 奴) Quote Link to comment
