Pretty boring compared to some of these -- I grew up in Nebraska, live and bleed Husker football, had family play for the team in the late 60s, and fully adhere to the Saturday religion that is Nebraska play by play blaring from every open window in town in the fall, so NU for me will always be dear ol' Nebraska U. Then I met and married a wonderful woman whose only flaw is that she did grad school at Northwestern and seems to think that NU refers to that collection of brick buildings by Lake Michigan. Cue the running marital bickering about which school is the "true" NU. So I'm RedNU, she's PurpleNU, and I just go with it on most sports-themed sites because it's easier to be constant throughout.
