Does anybody honestly see us losing to Illinois?
- Thread starter red rover 70
- Start date
I think we win tomorrow, and we build some confidence moving forward. I hope to see a blowout, but think this game will be close. It is possible that we lose--but I think that's unlikely unless we struggle on offense, which I don't think we will. The wind should also be favorable for us defensively, which gives me confidence.
Since when did you become the resident officer of deeming whether a fan is a true husker fan or not? People can still be critical of the team and be as big or bigger fans than some of those who aren't.
Is this what you mean by being a true Husker fan?
You should have your Husker card taken due to a severe lack in sanity, you big galoot.

Never watch Illinois but don`t they only throw short passes? I had no idea they had a huge vertical passing game.
Illinois blew out Kent State and Western Illinois. Got blown out by UNC and went to the wire with Middle Tennessee State. So 2 blowout wins against FCS teams, a big loss against another Power 5 Team and squeeked by an FBS Mid-Major.
I highly doubt Illinois stays with us and expect a fairly big Husker victory. That said, we are ridiculously thin at DL and LB and as porous as our secondary has been I don't take any games for granted this year and I would not be surprised by anything. I'm going to go with:
Husker - 48
Illinois 20

Don't know if they do or not, but the underneath routes, quick slants and short pic routes are what have been killing us lately. Not so much the long balls. Opponents have been turning short quick passes in to big gains. Our backup backers are going to be tested. IF we have many more passes bounce off our receivers and in to the lap of a guy sitting on the ground, anything can happen. Fumbles, INTs, and penalties will once again probably play a big role. We just aren't good enough to overcome mistakes and bad breaks like that this year.
Why create a new username just to stir the pot and cause trouble??? How immature do you have to be to hide behind a fake account??? II totally respect people who stand up for what they believe without hiding behind a computer screen.You can have questions and concerns about the Huskers without acting like you and some others do.
Way to dodge the question.
And I've already stated I used to post here. Multiple times. And this is my only active account.
And how is your ridicule of other posters not done while "hiding behind a computer screen" as well, galoot?
I don't care if you approve of the way I voice my disapproval; I don't like the way you frame your many, many, many "takes" on here, either.
People know who i am. I've attended Sparky's tailgate a few years back. And he was an incredibly gracious host. I can be found down at the Indian Center at social events and dances. I've got a picture of me in my regalia on the internet for the whole world to see. Front and center!
Exactly...which is why I dont think the winds have a major effect...also just a side note the Bear picked against us on Gameday. That scares me because he is usually pretty accurate.
So we all need to know each other personally? I'll see if I can make it down to the Indian Center next time I'm in Lincoln, rover.
It could be. Let's hope my hunch is better than your hunch! I just feel like they will show improvement. I could be wrong.
I have a hunch that the word hunch is being a bit overused...but that's just a hunch.
Bump for ol' Red Rover. It's obvious he doesn't know a thing about which he speaks.
I'm guessing he'll be MIA for a while.
