Nebraska Message Board
There are a few Nebraska message boards, including a pay message board, but I think this is the main one. I could be wrong since I didn't look into it in any detail.
https://nebraska.forums.rivals.com/forum...-board.12/
In the point spread thread they certainly don't seem real confident. Here is 1 post: "If I were a betting man I would take Northern Illinois and the points. They have a reputation of knocking off Big 10 teams each year and I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again this year."
I suppose being up over Colorado as much as they were (I think it was 17 points) and then losing will do that.

This game goes to whoever wants it more. We seem pretty even talent wise.

RE: Nebraska Message Board
The Nebraska fans look deflated. I scanned through a few message boards, and none of them look ambitious enough to say anything about blowing us out. Many of them think this could go either way and wouldn't be surprised if they lost.

He still has a few days to create his Huskers account.

Why do we give a FF about this jerkwad? Quit reading (and reposting) his posts; he only wants us to be pissed off.

RE: Nebraska Message Board
Most are predicting a big Nebraska win, some a close win and only a couple with the "bad feeling" NIU win.

Huskers will be ready, this game is much bigger for Nebraska now. NIU will show well and have a chance to win.

Nebraska did us no favors choking away that game in Boulder. We will have their full attention.

RE: Nebraska Message Board
Apparently Huskers fans are some of the nicest in the country. If you sit near them, they will not gloat or whine if NIU wins. They say hello, give your team props for nice play and say good game afterwards, so I wouldn't expect their boards to be too brutal. LOLowa, on the other hand...

Utah fans and people were very nice. One guy came through the NIU section shook our hands and said thanks for coming. Nebraska hasn't yet learned the bad attitude from most but not all of its fellow big ten fans.

A lot of the board is typical justification of their team's superiority. Most of the posts are relatively respectful, but one spoke about our "nonsense" 14 point win over an FCS team.
Nebraska's first (only) win was over South Alabama, by 14 points no less, when Nedraska was a 36 point favorite. I'd venture that Ill. STate would probably take South Alabama, and a lot of other FBS teams, to task.
And some of the points pointed to out "poor" showing against Utah. Utah would would probably curb stomp Nebraska this year.
Not saying that NIU wll win, but we'll make a game out it.

Sadly, Nebby fans actually believe they can get back to national championship contender status on a regular basis.
Those days are gone now that everyone's on TV every week and Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana and Minnesota are picking up the three-star recruits Nebraska needed for their second string (and getting four-stars, to boot). Why go to school in a cornfield and sit on the bench when you can start for another B1G team that's on TV most weeks and live near a large city?
Once every 10 years UNL might have a team that wins the B1G and has a shot at making the CFP, but so will Iowa, PSU, MSU, etc.
What's driving the Nebby fans crazy is not that they aren't a winning team, but that they aren't in the CFP every other year.
They fired Pelini for winning a minimum of nine games each season. LOL.

Well, it's a regular NIU love fest coming out of the press conference today. Safe to say, we aren't sneaking up on them this year....
