Ugh... I guess if that is what Nebraska can hang their hat on... maybe your people (sans Husker fans) are nice but your state is still flat and boring.

NEBRASKAGOLIA -- No Mon!

I think Siepker is funny and good what he does. But man, he is one of the biggest self promoters I have ever seen.

 

[siklon]

I think 'Meth Mouth' has a better ring to it.

 

[Althetuna]

I think their new slogan should be "Nebraska Lice" because no one over there bathes.

The Nebraska "nice" is the nice that you use when you're trying to politely ignore someone, like:

"Hey man, I got a sweet new ride, an 86 camaro"..."That's nice"

Odds that anyone who came up with that slogan has ever watched ESPN?

 

[Cyched]

Heard this on the radio on the way home from work. The host poked fun at the fact they came up with this "after 9 months of research and development"

Can you imagine what The Iowa Nice Guy will do with this?

 

[CascadeClone]

Haven't "Iowa Nice" and "Minnesota Nice" been around for decades as just general descriptions of the "polite, helpful, but kinda introverted" culture? I mean, I heard of Iowa Nice long before Seipker turned it into his thing.

Also, Nebraska Fail on the slogan. Actually "Nebraska Fail" might be a good slogan.

What's a Nebraska? Sounds pointless.

What happened to "The Good Life"? I guess it doesn't matter since that was bull **** as well.

 

[Cycsk]

"Nebraska Nice ... Keeping the Huskers Out of Iowa ... Thanks!"

My conclusion: Nebraska is full of unoriginal tools. 1st they try to steal Farmageddon and now this.

Don't forget their flippin' name...the cornhuskers...was what Iowa was before the hawkeyes...from Nebby's own site, they admit they just stole that from Iowa too!

[SIZE=-1]beginning in 1892, Nebraska adopted Scarlet and Cream as its colors and accepted the Bugeaters as its most popular nickname until the turn of the century. Named after the insect-devouring bull bats that hovered over the plains, the Bugeaters also found their prey in the Midwest, enjoying winning campaigns in every year of the 1890s until a disappointing season in 1899.[/SIZE]​

​

​

After its first losing season in a decade, it must have seemed only fitting that Nebraska move in a new direction, and Lincoln sportswriter Charles S. (Cy) Sherman, who was to gain national renown as the sports editor of the Lincoln Star and help originate The Associated Press Poll, provided the nickname that has gained fame for a century. Sherman tired of referring to the Nebraska teams with such an unglamorous term as Bugeaters. Iowa had, from time to time, been called the Cornhuskers, and the name appealed to Sherman.​

​

​

[SIZE=-1]Iowa partisans seemed to prefer Hawkeyes, so Sherman started referring to the Nebraska team as Cornhuskers, and the 1900 team was first to bear that label.[/SIZE]​

In honor of Lakes, I will say people from North Dakota...it's the only state I can think of that's more lame than Nebraska.

Who the eff vacations in Nebraska?

Only because Jim Carey and Zoey Deschanel had to in Yes Man.
