Before being known as 'The Cornhuskers', the NU football team name was 'The Bugeaters'.

I personally think we'd get a lot more advertising dollars in product spin-offs and branding if we were still The Bugeaters. ;D

Now how period correct would it be to have a "Go Mighty Bugeaters!" bill posted on the rear of your buggy.

Or chuckwagon.

The Stobe Light was invented in 1931 by Harold Eugene Edgerton, a native of Newbrassky who was born in Fremont but grew up in Auroa.  He was a proffesser at MIT at the time he invented it.

From Wiki which agrees with the information at the Egerton Center at the Plainsman Museum at Auroa:

"The origin of strobe lighting dates to 1931, when Harold Eugene "Doc" Edgerton employed a flashing lamp to make an improved stroboscope for the study of moving objects, eventually resulting in dramatic photographs of objects such as bullets in flight."

I had a quick look in there on days when I had torn up the lawn out there to cook. ;D

Must not forget two Lincoln Newbrassky natives that are close to many of our hearts, Verdon Speer and Joyce Hornaday.  Speer moved to Idaho, but Hornaday stayed in Newbrassky at Grand Island.
