How many of the 53K+ there today would you guess were Nebraska fans?
Question for those in attendance today

Very few. 5,000?
Easily the least # of every sold out game I’ve ever been to.

Not many. Could see individuals/small groups walking about, but they didn’t seem to make much impact or noise
I would agree not many but there were some. 5k seems reasonable. This was a true sell out. From what I saw the stadium was full.
3-5K. Still the most any team will bring, but Nothing like what they talked about.
Washington only has about 1000 tickets left and there will be maybe 100 Washington fans there. It will easily be the most pro IU crowd I’ve ever seen in my life.
I felt like 10% of the crowd was Nebraska folks. They certainly had representation.
I'll.say 5k. By the end of the 3rd quarter, maybe 30😁
Hardly any in my section. Nothing like the Michigan and OSU games where my section used to seem like they were 50-50. It was almost all IU fans.
Hard to say because they never had a chance to cheer. It was awesome to see the visitors booed during warm-ups.
Yeah my guess was 5,000 tops. But then again,we didn’t give them much to cheer about.
Yeah, beautiful wasn't it.
Hard to tell. They had nothing to cheer for all day!
Was in section 108. Had 4 right behind me and I saw maybe around 20 or so around but it was pretty much IU fans.
Listen to the guy they were complaining that Nebraska was playing to. Passive on D, was questioning their play calling and before halftime was already planning their exit. The final straw was the Asbury interception.
He fully expected Nebraska to end their bowl eligibility drought but was apologizing to his family for dragging them to the game after we went up 28-7.

I guess I heard plenty of voices singing their fight song pre-game, but the one fan I could hear behind me during the game was just complaining about how they utilized #19. Said he should be running fly routes because no one on IU can outrun him.
I thought, "you know we have safeties, right? And it doesn't matter if he's fast if Raiola can't throw him the ball."

The ones that walked through our tailgate on the way in were nice enough. I gave a couple of them a drink.
Their well rehearsed mantra was "you guys are doing great for IU, but you have not seen a defense like you are about to". "The Black Shirts man...the Black Shirts".

They were right, the Indiana OL opened holes like the parting of the Red Sea!
Had a few down the row. A dad and 2 sons. Were fine and no one gave them any grief that I heard. What little they had to cheer, they did, but otherwise pretty quiet. They left mid-3rd quarter. Not many in our section. I would say total was maybe 10% of the crowd.
According to our old buddy and former poster...there were 20K of them.
Maybe 200-300 left for UW, something like 100 left for PU. These games will probably sellout today or at worst early this week.
IU fans are buying up those tickets.

According to my son who attended the game, ticket checkers were allowing any IU student into the game w/o a ticket
I’d guess 2,000 to 2,500. I don’t think it was 5k.
