Corn Nation Needs A New Tagline - The "Big 12 North" Is Dead!

PrintSomeone emailed me this past week about the fact that Corn Nation's tagline is out of date and . I knew this already, but like too many things in my life, it's on the list of "yet to be completed".
What's a tagline, you ask? It's that phrase that runs across the top of the site which currently says:
Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - First the Big 12 North, Next Up - Big 12 Champs!
which is clearly outdated because the Big 12 North is dead, deceased, gone to meet it's maker, an ex-conference division.
Rather than me coming up with something, I'm leaving it up to you, community. The only thing I ask is that it has the possibility of being a meme, a brand. For example,
Corn Nation - Keeping A Live Lizard In Our Pants!
would be kind of a fun, especially if we asked for pictures, but unfortunately has nothing to do with Nebraska, Corn, or the Cornhuskers (or cats, which seems to matter for some weird reason).
So create away, hopefully coming up with something that can become a tagline, a t-shirt, and sooner or later designate CN'ers as members of some weird gang, complete with signs and tattoos, until it's replaced next year if for no other reason than to sell a whole new set of t-shirts, this being America where the economy is at least partially propelled by consumer whoredom and the need to say to one another "I don't care if there's a recession, I still have more toys than you!"
Oh, and don't forget to like our Facebook page at the upper right. We're nearing 2,000, and if we get to 2,000 before the end of the year, I won't have to die of a heart attack while having a brain aneurysm.... because that's what the prophecy has told me.

New tag line
Nebraska Cornhuskers – the Leading Legend of the Big Ten (Too much? OK) We need to work this “Legends” and “Leaders” stuff in somewhere. Nebraska, “Not a Legend in our own mind like IOWA.” OK, still searching. “Legendary Defense with Leaderless Offense just to keep it fair.” This needs lots of work.

CornNation - "If they're old enough to go to the store, they're old enough to get bread"
I don’t think it should have anything to do with football.
Love this.

Had to do this from work.
So I will probably get fired. If I do, can I have a position on the prestigious cornnation.com staff? I swear I’m good.
Corn Nation: Did you just touch my ass?

CornNation - "Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points they almost always win." DC
Ok, I’ll quit now, please don’t ban me, Jon. I’m not a very smart man.
Okay, forgive me for this one,
but we must honor the cats: CornNation: Home of the legendary pussies.
Damn Herps
You really went to town on those slogans. Speaking of which……
Corn Nation: We went to town coming up with slogans.

We all have the right to our own opinions, its just that mine are right.

Corn Nation- The Big 11's +1 since 2010
So I tried the Barbasol and Rotel dip and I was very dissapointed!
Red Dawn!
Red Dawn…We Got SAC! Big hairy corn-fed sacks to be exact. Well…damnit, the cold war’s over and SAC isn’t even SAC anymore. I like the Red Dawn insinuations thought, don’t you! …Wolverines!!! …Wait a second…what the?!?!
Never too early to start ribbing your new rival, never too late to rib your old...
Corn Nation – Big Ten bound because we are smart enough, good enough, and gosh darm, people like us! (my favorite)
We’re Corn Nation – and Iowa still Sux
Corn Nation – the new scourge of Iowa
Corn Nation – The New Frontier of the Big Ten
Corn Nation – the future of the Big Ten
Corn Nation – We don’t need no stinkin’ Texas!
Corn Nation – Oh sure, now Texas decides to suck!
Corn Nation – Leaving the Steers and Queers (OK – maybe a bit much)
Given the mood around here lately....
…. Corn Nation: Where Misery Loves Company
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
Corn Nation--We Provide Our Own Manure
Honoring our ag roots, not taking ourselves too seriously, and not being too uppity to our new conference brothers and sisters (and, with a bit of a stretch, a veiled parting shot at some of our not-so-favorite memories of our last year in the Big 12).
Rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes our Huskers feel a little frisky!
In light of Baker and Ricky in the news recently.
