walksalone Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That'd be neat, but it's NU vs NW... Quote Link to comment
akita Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That'd be neat, but it's NU vs NW... Sorry to say it is not NU vs NW, It is NU vs UNL. They earned that right to be called NU! Give them their respect. Please argue it. Quote Link to comment

T_O_Bull Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Wrigley Field is a horrible place for football. The size does not accomodate a football field. Soldier Ffield would be a much better venue. T_O_B 2 Quote Link to comment

Give them their respect. Please argue it. Well, we've been NU (unofficially) for a long time. I'd say we have at least an equal claim to NU, but if our new conference mates insist on Northwestern being NU, I don't have a huge problem making that concession. "Cornhuskers" and "Blackshirts" are way more important to me than being known as NU. I guess...it's kind of like Oklahoma State and Ohio State. I'd much rather be known as UNL than adopt some kind of deal where it appears we're puffing out our chests and adding a t for "the" before NU, or something along those lines. (I put "appears" in italics because I know Buckeye fans are sensitive about this, and an OSU regular on HB, whose name escapes me but is someone I like and respect, gave a pretty reasonable explanation for why it's more on the tradition side of the fence than the arrogance side.) Irregardless (is not a word,) we play every year. This is the perfect opportunity to circumvent the forced trophy thing and actually play for something that seems to matter to both sides. Winner is NU for the rest of the season and the beginning of the following year, until both teams play again. I think that's a lot more appealing than a "Hy-Vee Hero" trophy. Quote Link to comment
Nebula Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 FWIW: "The U" is way more annoying to me than "thee" Ohio State. Not even close. But I despise Miami, so there you go. 1 Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 For me,despise is not an strong enough word. It is pure HATRED. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Interesting discussion. I like the idea of earning 'NU' for whoever wins that year. Could be a fun 'rivalry' for naming rights. (I was thinking of this though: I went to Northwest Missouri State Univ. Its initials are NWMSU not NMSU. NU for us makes more sense than it does for Northwestern. Just saying. To me Northwestern would be NWU) Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've never understood the NU thing. It's the University of Nebraska so should it be the UN? Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 We're not NU, not UNL. We're f_____ Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
