Experience the excitement of Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge…

More than 80,000 fans fill Memorial Stadium in Lincoln each fall, the roar of the crowd rising from a sea of scarlet as the Husker football players take the field. The team is comprised of young men who come to the University of Nebraska from every state in the nation, eager to play for the five-time national championship team. But not every team member has to travel far -- some players come from tiny towns scattered across Nebraska and proudly “walk on” to the field simply to fulfill their lifelong dream of playing for Nebraska.

NET Television’s upcoming high-definition documentary, Walk Ons: Huskers’ Edge, tells the story of the University of Nebraska’s football walk-on program, from its start in the early 1960s under the leadership of Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne, to its near demise in 2003, and more recently to its revitalization under Bo Pellini.

The Walk Ons: Huskers' Edge event on July 30 is sponsored by AAA Nebraska, Marcus Theatres and Village Pointe.
