NebraskaHarry Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'd go with Antelopes. Of course that is assuming the Antelopes are actually Pronghorn which are not actually an Antelope, but a scientically incorrect name much like Buffalo is for Bison. But I digress. An Antelope or Pronghorn is built for speed. It is speed. And because of that speed I'll go with the Antelopes... Speed. Quote Link to comment

Fuzzy Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bugeater's would be less of a stomp on tradition. Do we even have rattlesnakes in Nebraska? And the only antelopes in America are in the damn zoo! LOL Quote Link to comment

The other side of the state, parts have more antelope than deer, and the nasty snake is most common. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 beginning in 1892, Nebraska adopted Scarlet and Cream as its colors and accepted the Bugeaters as its most popular nickname until the turn of the century. Named after the insect-devouring bull bats that hovered over the plains, Bull bat is a common name for the Nighthawk (a bird, not a bat). Common bird in Nebraska in the Summer, active around dusk and dawn. Eats loads of flying insects, just like a bat. The call always makes me think of summer. Here's a vid with the call: Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It has to be Bugeaters.... Agree. +1 Quote Link to comment
simplekin Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm sorry, I love the Bug Eaters, but we would get SOOOO much sh!t. Too easy to bag on. Had to go with the OG-K's Quote Link to comment
wildman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 .Iowa partisans seemed to prefer Hawkeyes, so Sherman started referring to the Nebraska team as Cornhuskers, and the 1900 team was first to bear that label. This is probably the one and only time, that Iowa football had any impact or relevance to Nebraska football. Quote Link to comment
