Nebraska Cornhuskers
Earlier nicknames for the university's athletic teams were names like, the "Antelopes", "Hawkeye", the "Bugeaters", the "Old Gold Knights" and the "Mankilling Mastodons". The name Cornhuskers first appeared in the school newspaper as "We Have Met The Cornhuskers And They Are Ours" which referred to a 20-18 upset victory over Iowa in 1893. The name would later be used again, this time to refer to Nebraska by Charles "Cy" Sherman in The Nebraska State Journal during the 1899 season and would replace all other names by 1900.
The Cornhuskers have two official mascots, Herbie Husker and Lil' Red.
