The Husker Experience, a.k.a. The Time of My Life

University of Nebraska student-athletes lead the nation in NCAA Academic All-Americans and lead the Big 12 Conference in combined academic/athletic excellence.

But make no mistake. At Nebraska, it’s not all textbooks, study halls and GPA’s. Virtually every student-athlete who lives the Husker experience leaves Lincoln talking about “The Time of My Life.”

Rather than read about it, take three minutes and watch how Nebraska student-athletes compete hard, succeed well and hold their diplomas high enough to match the smiles on their faces.

You’ll see the Huskers accept a Gator Bowl trophy and win their third women’s NCAA bowling championship in the last six seasons. You’ll see them come back from two sets down and win the last three to claim a spot in the NCAA volleyball semifinals.

Watch Jordan Burroughs become the first wrestler in Nebraska history finish the season unbeaten and see how high Husker receiver and Academic All-American Todd Peterson holds a Nebraska sign with one hand while the other hand carries his diploma.

There’s a certain beauty in the way a Nebraska diver, golfer or gymnast performs. And the skills they demonstrate athletically are often rooted to their commitment to excellence in the classroom.

The Husker Experience is about success, academics and life. See for yourself, and while you watch, think about what it would be like to have the time of your life in Lincoln.
