Friday Night: Nebraska vs. Illinois

nu2u · 2026-11-06T09:28:41-0600

Huskers are 4.5 point road favorites. Rhule vs. Bielema
Who wins?

Phat Stax · 2026-11-06T09:35:51-0600

It's still so weird to see out-of-conference games on a Friday in November. I hope Illinois wins, because I'll always root for the Big Ten team, but I think both sides are poorly-coached so it will likely come down to which team makes the least amount of mistakes. It will be a winner-by-default, essentially. Nebraska 12 Illinois 8

Hate to say it, but since we play at Illinois in near future I am hoping Nebraska wins.

A road favorite, that can't close out the 4th qtr, with a QB that won't face the media, a coach that looks like a deer in the headlights right now, and a fanbase that's completely turned on him and the team. Easiest moneyline bet of the year.

Palmerhawk · 2026-11-06T11:24:08-0600

That frosh qb at Illinois seems to have potential...but in this wacky year bet on the team off loss vs happy team.
After the booing, and thrown garbage at home I am betting rhule is glad to be on road without pressure of angry home crowd...huskers win tonite

Grayhair1981 · 2026-11-06T11:27:25-0600

Easy choice of who to root for here

Outbackbowl2017 · 2026-11-06T12:42:54-0600

I’m hoping Debbie has a 9 point lead late and gives up a td then a 53 yard field goal to lose at the buzzer. Another epic collapse for the pond scum to the west. So glorious to watch their failures come to fruition.

No one in the Big Ten wants them in the conference and they don't want be here, either. They're like Penn State, they will never be one of us.

Well Crap, flipping back and forth from Iowa BB to watching Ill beat Nebby is a pain.

Nebraska is more capable of the jekyll and hyde streaks without any injuries or other fluky sh**, so I'm oddly kinda leaning with wanting them to win, because Illinois is playing with too much momentum right now, AND getting guys healthy.

We don't need Tubby F*** Bulimia having his guys playing with confidence by the time our game rolls around.

Nebraska has more time to shipwreck their season before we run into them.

You probably are still holding out hope Burt comes back to coach at Iowa, someday.

I see your out-of-conference thing and I read the other post to find one person question your sanity and then I read your other post with the lame, weird reason why Nebby isnt in the Big10. That is strange stuff man and did you just come out of frozen hibernation from 1988?

But besides all that Nebby has to play at OSU the week before us at Rutgers who can beat them while Illinois is @ UCLA and @ jNW for their annual trophy game for Abe's chin whiskers.

Actually I will take Nebby to beat Illinois. For it to matter to Iowa the hawks have to beat both of these teams meaning Nebby has 4 losses and almost for sure 5 while if Nebby wins Illinois will have 3 losses and Iowa will give them a 4th and UCLA will most likely give them another.

Yeah well you can **** that **** you closet cornholer.

Jonesy5960 · 2026-11-06T17:26:50-0600

This game result has zero impact on Iowa either way, so of course everyone should be rooting for the Fuskers to lose in the most unusual and soul crushing means possible.

Yeah, but Debbie can't have a losing record if they win tonight.

Go Bert!

Nebraska has had many soul crushing losses recently. I've caught several of the the endings! Wowza

Rhule’s tapeworm really affecting his energy level on the sideline.

Yes for sure...I was fully expecting those to happen when the game is on the line in the 4th Quarter

Who dresses that clown?

Last week he wears some ratty black tee-shirt that looks like it came from Goodwill.
Tonite he is wearing his old high school letter jacket from 1981.

It's flat out embarrassing.
Kick Nebraska's butt out of the B1G.
