Am I the only one who cringes when Huskers are called DONU?

You're 100% right. Please call the athletic department tomorrow morning and ask them to reach out to every fan/media outlet to get them to stop.

I think there's like 6 recruits in the whole world who know a single word of our fight song.

People still wear beanies

I thought I'd start with this board. Your way sounds a lot easier.

Hey, maybe we could be like the Old Mississippi Rebels and call ourselves Ole Neb! Or maybe Ole Husk.. that sounds cool. Dear Ole Neb

Seriously though, I like Dear Old Nebraska U. Reminds me of something like THE Ohio State..

It's unique. It's better than NU, everybody else in the conference thinks Northwestern when they hear NU..

As for the fight song, if you look at the words for most college fight songs, they're all old school.

God

My frickin god...

Is anyone else reading this board because they should being doing something important?

 

[mrandyk]

I'll use this as an opportunity to state my distaste for people referring to the school as NU rather than the correct UN.

 

[Mierin]

This is just weird.

 

[VA Husker Fan]

This is just weird.

I know, right? I thought I'd have more on my side. Oh well. I'll cringe in silence from now on.

Favorite off-season thread thus far! As an alum, I don't mind it. But I don't really know why anyone uses it. I haven't seen it on any university materials or anything. It just seems like we are talking about an abbreviation a few fans use on a message board.

As a life long fan and alum, I love our fight song and like the phrase " dear ol Nebraska U".

It reminds me that this school has a long rich history and not just on the football field.

I think I'll start using it more.

Yes, I realize I wasn't very clear, but I was talking about it's use here.

I was just playing.

No hard feelings

This is the consumate off-season thread. A topic worthy of much consideration during the months between NSD and the Spring Game. +1 to the OP.

FWIW, the term DONU does sound a bit antiquated. But I've never really seen DONU anyplace other than on message boards. So there's that.

Times changes and the University needs to up it's game. Something like:

Totally Sick Nebraska U Bro

or

TSNUB
