Thank You, Nebraska - University of Nebraska
As we head into the heart of another wrestling season, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you. You know, you aren't even a part of my story, Nebraska. No,

Easily the best wrester NU has produced. Well Done coach Manning.
Burroughs captured his fifth wrestling world title. When added to his 2012 Olympic gold medal, the 33-year-old from Sicklerville, New Jersey, joined John Smith, who won two Olympic and four world titles, in the records book as the most successful wrestlers in U.S. history.
"Dear Nebraska,
As we head into the heart of another wrestling season, I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you.
You know, you aren't even a part of my story, Nebraska.
No, man, you ARE my story."
"Jordan Burroughs — yeah, this guy is a warrior," Coach Manning said. "He's got the right stuff to be the leader of this team, and I think he's going to be a national champion."
"I never lost another college match after that."
"Every time I worked harder, I got better.
Every time I stayed focused and did something difficult, I improved and became more confident.
The more I could do that, the more I wanted to do it."
