The '''University of Nebraska-Lincoln''', usually just referred to as "'''Nebraska'''", Cornhuskers compete as members of the [[{{b10}}]] in [[NCAA Division I FBS]] football and in [[NCAA Division I]] basketball.  Nebraska is a public land-grant institution located in Nebraska's capital, Lincoln, about an hour southwest of Omaha.  The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 17,000.

The bulk of the campus is bounded by I-180/US 34 on the west, US 34 (Q Street) on the south, Antelope Valley Parkway on the east, and Salt Creek Roadway on the north.  I-180 ends at O Street, two blocks south of the southern extent of the campus grounds, and is the closest freeway access.  Memorial Stadium (81,000) is on the west edge of campus, next to I-180 just south of Salt Creek Roadway; Bob Devaney Sports Center (13,500) is at the corner of Salt Creek and Antelope Valley Parkway on the northeast side of campus.

Nebraska pretty much only acknowledges two rivals, plus one hated enemy: [[Oklahoma]] and [[Iowa]], with [[Texas]] filling the latter role.  Their move to the Big Ten may create more.  Historically, there's at least some sense of rivalry with [[Colorado]], [[Kansas State]], [[Missouri]], and [[Kansas]] (which, until the 2011 season, was the longest uninterrupted series in college football).  However, Husker fans will downplay each and every one of those rivalries (perhaps with good cause) based on Husker dominance.

A total of 312 former Cornhuskers have played in the NFL, including T Bob Brown, K Kris Brown, RB Roger Craig, DL John Dutton, DB Pat Fischer, WR Irving Fryar, DL Ron McDole, G Will Shields, DE Neil Smith, C Mick Tinglehoff.  Nebraska has had two legendary head football coaches in Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne.  As for the NBA, only 11 Nebraska alumni have made it, led by Tyronn Lue, Eric Piatkowski, and Erick Strickland.
