- It’s bad. Even Husker fans hate it* - WhitmansFolly November 6, 2026, 21:04
Glad it’s 7-7. Frustrated that Lunney spotted them 1.5 quarters and Cooper gives them a 5 second - meanjeans November 6, 2026, 20:45
This game is rubbish, might watch a movie with my wife. * - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:45

Timeout by NebraskaWTF* - Orangeillini November 6, 2026, 20:40

Multiple dudes being held. Fuck right off, refs - IlliniSax05 November 6, 2026, 20:38
Nebraska coach and QB are desperate for the refs to win it for them. Constant pleading* - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:37
- Yeah, this guy needs to STFU. * - illini November 6, 2026, 20:39
- Eat shit, Rhule* - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:39
Man, not getting the sack to at least make them use a TO there sucks* - John Coctostan November 6, 2026, 20:36
- Really hard to believe he was able to get out of bounds on that* - Orangeillini November 6, 2026, 20:38
Too easy* - Mrap24 November 6, 2026, 20:33
how was that a 1st down?* - Ari Gold November 6, 2026, 20:32
Pretty crazy how long a lot of those Mike White era records lasted. Think a few are still out - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:31
- And with 11 games and bowl stats didn’t count until (I think) the late 80s early 90s* - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:33
Is the replay center banned from watching the game until they need to weigh in? - RVA November 6, 2026, 20:31

- I think it would have happened anyway - IlliniSax05 November 6, 2026, 20:29
Clearly a TD, but let’s run a couple more plays and score.* - voiceofreason November 6, 2026, 20:28
Wooot!! * - harb November 6, 2026, 20:28
Love getting in the replay room* - UofIL6 November 6, 2026, 20:27
- Yep but “I think it’s a TD” and “I tend to agree” does not sound like conclusive evidence lol* - CanHartlebHireSnider November 6, 2026, 20:29
  - Yeah “looks like it crossed to me, but I don’t know”. Real inspiring stuff * - biclops November 6, 2026, 20:30

Clearly holding clement* - Blazer November 6, 2026, 20:19
Field the damn punt* - Mrap24 November 6, 2026, 20:17
Are we allowed to say that bringing pressure worked twice on 3rd down on that drive?* - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:16
- Just have to do it smartly, keep contain* - WhitmansFolly November 6, 2026, 20:17
- We brought four on the sack. Not a pressure. * - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:17
  - The sack negated by a penalty we brought 3 with 2 spies. Not a pressure * - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:18
    - Fair enough on the first one, for us I tend to count bringing 4 as pressure… - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:20
      - Nobody cares what some random fucking guy on a message board “counts” - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:21
        
        Ranger chose violence today* - John Coctostan November 6, 2026, 20:32
        
        I’m sorry, that was rude of me, the “we should bring 9 guys!” In every passing situation comments - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:35
        
        And I’d never say that. - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:38
        
        I’m done with it, sorry for being an ass * - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:42

        I don’t make shit up after the fact and can admit when I’m wrong. - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:24
        
        You said we could rush as many people as we want and still not got pressure. - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:26
        
        But I don’t want to argue this. We’re both just fans rooting for the same thing. - OB25 November 6, 2026, 20:28
        
        Stop squirming and take the L * - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:27
    - Most coaches consider a “pressure” to be 5 and a “blitz” to be 6, but pretty interchangeably used on - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:19
So many flags and yet they somehow miss the most obvious one of the game* - DocWalk20 November 6, 2026, 20:15
What the fuck is Rhule complaining about? Every fucking time they show him he's bitching - IlliniSax05 November 6, 2026, 20:15

You guys can piss your pants all you want, we’re not getting pressure if we send 13 guys - illiniranger November 6, 2026, 20:00
- Yep. Both lines getting blown up* - Blazer November 6, 2026, 20:02
- We can send 13? Cool.* - DocWalk20 November 6, 2026, 20:02
Guess we can stop worrying about Cooper getting the job * - meanjeans November 6, 2026, 19:58
