An 11-0 Iowa team is only a 2.5 point favorite over a 5-6 Nebraska team...

No...I got it but anyone who would think a line coming from Vegas would ruin an eleven win season through eleven games.....and then posting it......well......stupid. I mean....come on....think about how dumb that is...

You obviously didn't get it or you wouldn't have responded the way you did. Own your gullibility. Own the fact that you are desperate for the approval of Nebraska fans - which is the only reason you are on this board in the first place.

Sucker...
 
This point spread undoubtedly spoils whatever excitement Iowa fans may have had over their 11-0 start and position to play for a conference title and possible the national championship.

Suck it, Hawkeyes!
My, is this our mindset now. That even if we were oh-fer that were gonna be happy that our coach is much nicer at press conferences AND/OR if we spoil Iowa's season. Maybe it's just me but I've never felt better about my situation by watching someone else's misfortune???

Good season for Iowa. I'd be much more excited about the game if we were playing for something more than the pinstripe bowl.

But hey, you keep truck'in! :)

Well, I guess BigHawk isn't alone in missing the obvious sarcasm in that post.

Amen! You know what this line shows me? That Nebraska underachieved all year.

I live on Sarcasm lane. One emoticon I always wished message boards had was the dripping with sarcasm emoticon. Unless spelled out it doesn't come across well in text messages. One almost has to know the history of each poster to know if its sarcasm or not. Jmho Winking
 
I can't think of a bigger indictment of the 2015 Iowa Hawkeyes. The best team in Iowa history is only favored by 2.5 points over the 1st Nebraska team to lose 6 games before November since the 50s.
Sounds about right, Nebraska being a blue blood and all.

Ok...own your stupidity

I read this stuff in amazement and wonder. I am amazed anyone even cares and I wonder why I spend time reading it. Who actually cares. Just play the dang game and win it. I don't care about betting lines, personal lines, or any of that. Maybe we need to worry about actually stopping someone which hasn't happened very often.

Im not sure you are underacheiving when Ryker Fyfe starts for you, along with a bunch of inexperienced walk ons. Its not exactly a coincidence that we are playing our best ball when at our healthiest.
 
Yup. Because Vegas is so accurate. Nebraska was favored by 6.5 over Northwestern and 9 over Purdue.

Florida was "favored" by 31 over FAU...

How accurate were those spreads?

So I guess you expect Nebraska to win by 21+ ... cool story. Thanks for stopping by.
 
In the last 2 weeks there have been 20+ threads on the same topic and nothing new is ever added to the discussion. Sad indictment of the upcoming game.
Agree; however, when it comes to the status of the TA and Westy, I would just as soon nothing new were added to the discussion.

True. I just don`t understand why we need so many threads on the same topic. Each one says the same stuff with slams and put downs on both sides. Nothing new has been added by anyone in 4 days. Oh well it will all be over soon.
 
We've established that you can't comprehend sarcasm. We now move on to irony. Do you get irony?

It doesn't appear that you do.

I'll stand by my first post: anyone who is dumb enough to imply iowa's season is ruined because of a point spread said something dumb. Anyone can go back and retro fit an implication as to what their initial post said...kind of like Getting their hand caught in the cookie jar. Deep down you know that post wasn't meant to be sarcastic..I had a couple husker fans that favorited my initial post... I apologize to all of the Husker fans for having to read this drivel between real husker and myself.

Ma'am/sir, I know you will have to get the last word in, and that's fine...both of us have better things to do. husker Nation...here is to a great game Friday!

I will still be your internet friend after the Huskers win on Friday. No hard feelings at all.
 
people that make this argument fail at logic.

nope.

People who make the argument that the point spread is an indicator of how a game will unfold fail at logic.

.

point spreads are about balancing money wagered, not predicted outcomes.

Bet your money on Iowa. No way the Cornhuskers ruin this season. A big payback for last seasons loss In Iowa City. No bowl game on the horizon for Nebraska. Go Hawks!!!

Okay - here's the last word: If you thought that my original post was anything other than sarcasm, you are the stupidest m'fer I have ever encountered on the internet. The very next post even suggested it was sarcasm. I even told you it was sarcastic, yet you doubled down on your stupidity. You even said you got it - then proceeded to not get it.

I hope at some level, you get the approval that you desperately seek from the Husker nation. Also, there is no need to apologize to anyone on the board...I promise you that NU fans reading this exchange were wildly entertained by yet another half-wit Iowa fan trying to impress Husker fans....and failing at an epic level.

Wow....

Half of those posts started by our very own Trollnicator. Board has been a chore to read this last week.

Unfortunately even at 5-7 we go bowling which many 5 win teams will do this year. :confused:
 
Let me get this correct. Nebraska is 5-6 and on the verge of missing a bowl game. Iowa is 11-0 and going to the big ten champ game. And the op is excited because Nebrasked is only expected to lose by 2 instead of 20.

Really?

Early weather report is looking chilly/ windy which to me says this will be an ugly four quarter game.
 
I think soom outsiders actually see whats actually there and realize this 5-6 Husker team has the talent and all the makings for a 10-0 team just as easy. We proved a lot beating MSU at there house (who beat the defending National Champs OSU at there house) but we can also play down to teams as well (see Purdue and others) . When we are completely healthy and whole, we are a better team then Iowa and the worst case scenario for Iowa going into Lincoln is happening, the Huskers are healthy, have woke up and playing good football. Yes it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we are favored by the time Friday hits and we will prove it on the field as well. All are strengths on defense and offense match Iowa good. Our passing will give Iowas DBs fits, we are a run stopping defense, Iowa is a rock pounding offense and NOW we found are power running game with Cross and Jano, which will really hurt Iowa now. Only way we lose, like i said all week is if Tommy is off his mark and making bad choices. In my opinion, this game does favor us, despite the records, just look at the teams strengths and the play on the field the past few weeks.

Nonsense. Northwestern manhandled and trucked Nebraska in the 4th quarter, racking up 180 yards of offense to put that game away.

Seriously, stop talking. You don't have any idea what the hell you're talking about. Find one person who works in sportsbook management that agrees with you and I'll find you a hundred that dont.

What's nonsense is that you completely missed the fact that he said we proved a lot by beating MSU at "there" house.....
