"Dear Old Nebraska U" (also commonly referred to as "There Is No Place Like Nebraska") is a fight song of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln often played at football games by the University of Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band. There are three other fight songs, " Hail Varsity," " March of the Cornhuskers," and " The Cornhusker (Come a Runnin' Boys)". [1]
In Nebraska, the lyrics and music are attributed to Harry Pecha, a 1924 Nebraska graduate. [1] However, other schools and locales across the United States - including the University of Chicago, the University of Florida, and the Toledo, Ohio public school system - sing similar tunes, often with similar lyrics.
