They were as good as any other....myth!
#34
Short for 'Cornhusker' (a common nickname for folks from my old home state of Nebraska here in the USA - silly, I know, but still better than the nickname it replaced: 'Bugeater'. I and most of my fellow Nebraskans always wondered about that 'Husker Du' thing - it got a lot of looks and laughs when it first appeared on store shelves back home. Thanks for your kind welcome to the site, I'm really looking forward to participating! - Fred
