🔥 Notable / Extreme Comments from the Thread
Before the Game
- Ext. 55: “Let’s Butt Fuck Penn State.”
- Very blunt, aggressive trash talk. Shows high emotional intensity and a raw rooting interest — more than just “beat them,” but very visceral. The Platinum Board
- That SOB Van Owen: Commenting on team struggles, “If we had lost this like Michigan or USC … this one was tough … On the bright side, Penn State does have more talent than us.” The Platinum Board+1
- This is interesting because it mixes frustration (“we got run off the field”) with some grudging respect (“they do have more talent”), which shows a deeper emotional conflict — not just blind optimism.
After / During (Post‑Game) Reactions
- Seaofred92 (Moderator): After the game —
- Strong criticism. He breaks down specific missed opportunities and clearly feels Nebraska left too much on the table.
- Same user later: “Adjusted margin of victory is 39 points… yikes.” The Platinum Board
- “Adjusted margin” suggests he thinks the game was much more lopsided than the scoreboard officially shows or how casual viewers might interpret it. Very harsh.
✅ Analysis / What These Comments Reveal
- High Emotion = High Stakes: The language (“Butt Fuck”) shows that many fans are very emotionally invested — this isn’t just a rivalry game, it feels personally important to them.
- Frustration with Execution: The post-game comments focus on wasted opportunities, especially in the red zone / early drives. Some fans feel Nebraska didn’t take advantage of momentum or potential.
- Respect + Realism: Even among harsh critics, there’s acknowledgment that Penn State had more talent or that Nebraska’s failure wasn’t just from bad calls — people are realistic about where the team’s weaknesses lie.
- Disappointment & Concern: Calling the adjusted margin “39 points” signals deep disappointment, not just a “tough loss” but a blowout in their eyes when you dig into the film.
