Do Huskers go a little overboard when talking about all the things they love about the University of Nebraska–Lincoln? Guilty. Do they regret it? Never.
For its fall 2025 issue of "Nebraska Quarterly," the Nebraska Alumni Association compiled a list of 99 things Huskers love about the university. It's a celebration of the big moments and the little ones, and it spans generations, from the "Daily Nebraskan," founded in 1871, to Volleyball Day in 2023.
In honor of March Madness, the list was narrowed to 64 things and a bracket built. Now it's time for fans around the world to decide which is the "Thing We Love Most about the University of Nebraska."
The bracket is broken down into eight categories — Athletics, Academic Excellence, Heritage and History, Traditions, Nationwide Pride, School Spirit, Student Experience and Campus Highlights — and voters will have to proclaim their loyalties to Herbie Husker or Lil' Red right away.
Who or what will be crowned the champion? It could be anything from the friendly neighborhood squirrels or Broyhill Fountain to the sellout streak or Memorial Stadium flyovers, but that's up to you, Huskers.
