Through the 1899 football season, the athletes were known as the Bugeaters. This was an appropriate nickname in an agricultural region where bull bats were a blessing to farmers and a menace to cropdevouring insects. Still, the Cornhuskers did not emerge for another decade. Finally, at the turn of the century and after one less-than-glorious season, the university felt that a new image was overdue. The Cornhuskers came to stay. Which sentence BEST begins the paragraph?
