Still miffs me when I see him call us Neb and Northwestern NU....
I know, right... it doesn't make sense to abbreviate Northwestern University as NU. /sarcasm
About as much sense as calling a place located in the middle of the country Northwestern.
/s
Since the the school's original purpose was to serve what was once known as the Northwest Territory, I think they named it correctly.
Agreed and it will stay that way, NWU would sound like a ACC team.
It's funny you say that. Until the Huskers joined the B1G, I always saw Northwestern abbreviated as NW. It's weird to me to call them NU, so I always use NW, and it will probably stay that way. For you guys in the B10 for years, I'm sure it's the reverse.
