BTN & NU

[flatwaterfan]

One thing I will have to get use to is that NU is Northwestern not Nebraska. I have clicked an NU link twice on the BTN thinking it was about the Huskers. I know they won't want to switch to NWU (which I think makes sense and what it should be) Since we are the new kid on the block I think we need to change it. Do you change it to UNL? UN? NebU? UNeb? NeU? UNe? NEBR?

How bout we dont change and demonstrate through dominance and crushing their souls who NU is and has always been! Not to mention who the real Big Red is too.

Just saying...

I've always seen NU as NEB over there. Which is fine since we are the new guys.

We should just go with "N."

They'll know what it means.

Neb works for me.

NU

Yep

 

[Blackshirt316]

We are and always will be NU. Anyone who thinks differently on that issue can get off the boat.

Its NEB when they shorten it on TV.

or UNL, Nebraska, Big Red

We're going to be NU. When we invited the other 11 teams to join our conference, they knew they'd have to make some concessions. This is one of them.

They'll know what it means.

Especially when we take that "N" and put it there, right there underneath their chins for 4 quarters and get after somebody's a$$!

I'm sure this has been asked before, but why is the "University of Nebraska" shortened to "NU"? Shouldn't it be "UN"? Just something that's puzzled me for a long time. I remember a friend had a shirt in like third grade that said "UN" and I made fun of him because Nebraska is "NU".

 

[knapplc]

I would think Northwestern would want to go by NW when they play us. It's the only way they'll put a "W" on the stat sheet.

Nebraska = NU

Northwestern = nú (which means slave or servant, in Mandarin pinyin for 奴)
