Cdog923 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I have a feeling their stadium will be more then 1/2 full of Cornhusker fans. Gonna feel like a home game. Yep, the sea of red will invade Evanston, but blend in well with other red Cardinal fans at the Wrigley Cub game, and Kirkwood, before the night game at Ryan Field. Will be a tough one for NU to beat UNL who is on a roll after Oregon, maybe for the Western B10 title. But the Purple did beat the Red at year at Lincoln. We'll see. There is only one NU and they wear RED Calling Nebraska "NU" is a giant misnomer, because the university isn't known as "Nebraska University". Whereas, Northwestern's title is "Northwestern University". 1 Quote Link to comment

Mike Harvat Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Here's the preview episode we recorded over the summer...bear in mind that no one really expected Northwestern to start as poorly as they did: http://traffic.libsyn.com/huskerpod/S02E04_-_Northwestern_Preview.mp3 There's also some talk about the matchup on our current episode, but it's mainly our reaction to the Oregon game: http://huskerpod.libsyn.com/s02e13-fortune-favors-the-bold-92016 Quote Link to comment

Though that might be some poetic licence as it's a lot easier to find something to rhyme with "U" than "Nebraska". Quote Link to comment

Edit....oh...."true blue". Just took me some time to get through the song in my head. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 On a side note. NWU has only averaged 2.8 yards per rush. Yikes. Nebraska has averaged 4.7. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I expect Northwestern to do what they've always done against Nebraska: stack the box and stuff the run, force Tommy to beat them through the air, maybe get a turnover or two, and then just play safe, sound football on offense. Didn't Thorsen have like a 60+ yard run against Nebraska last year? Wasn't that the reason for the 126 yards rushing? I think this one turns out similar to 2014, a closer than it should be game at half that's blown open in the second half. Nebraska 38 Northwestern 17 2 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Clayton Thorson rushes vs Nebraska last year: 1 yard 68 yards 1 yard (Touchdown) 49 yards 15 yards 0 yards 5 yards And he was sacked twice for -13 yards (Dzuris got a safety on one) 1 Quote Link to comment

Whereas, Northwestern's title is "Northwestern University". When the university adopted the NU moniker, the school was named Nebraska University. Just like the University of Oklahoma is OU. Not a big deal.That's technically not true. NU, OU, CU, KU, and MU all started referring to themselves as such in the 1920s and 30s. None of them have ever had that order as an official University name. The reasons are debated, but largely lost to history. Some say it was to distinguish themselves from other states. One historian attributed it to a "Midwestern casualness ". The song, DONU, was written in the early 20's, so it could have started it, with the rest of the Big 8 following. Kind of like the SWC with their hand signs. Whatever the reason, it's a legitimate part of Nebraska's history and tradition. I don't care what Northwestern calls itself, and the reverse should be true as well. Quote Link to comment
