Corn was and continues to be the major agricultural product of the state, but the nickname seems to have derived from a sports rivalry with the state of Iowa.The nickname was first used for the University of Nebraska athletic teams - the "Cornhuskers" - which was coined in 1900 by Charles S. "Cy" Sherman, a sportswriter for the Nebraska State Journal in Lincoln. "Cornhuskers" replaced earlier nicknames, such as "Golden Knights", "Antelopes", and "Bugeaters".
