Minnesota_husker Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It gave the team something to fight for this year. It gave us all one thing, one united hate. We got jobbed, and i think the team is better off because of it. Think, we beat Texas, lets say we get beat in our bowl game, is there excitement for this year?.. maybe, but i dont know if it is as much of the "we're mad as hell, and aren't going to take it...us against the world...AINT NO STOPPING US NOW" mentality. I hate to lose but i think that loss did so much more for this year. discuss(rip me apart..) Quote Link to comment

I think the resentment we bear towards Texas, the officials, and the conference itself (remember all those 11-1 votes?) should work in our favor this last season. My only fear is that we won't utilize that resentment and effectively use it throughout the WHOLE season. That, and the fact that getting too aggressive could result in a litany of those personal foul flags we all love so much... Let's just hope Bo keeps the guy playing hard, but clean. 1 Quote Link to comment

bleedNUred Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm not glad we lost because I think either way we were gonna be hungry to beat Texas again this year considering how many games we've given to them as of late, I don't think there's any lack of motivation. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If we would have beaten Texas, we would have played in a BCS Bowl. I think this would have given as much if not more incentive for this year knowing we would have been in the big show had we taken care of things earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I hope we get screwed out of every game this year so we can go into the Big 10 ready to annihilate everything in our path. Makes as much sense as the OP. In other words, none. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Similar sentiment to our "Unfinished Business" motto heading in the '94 season. And we all know how that turned out, so obviously it's worked for us before. I'll only be OK with that loss to Texas if we produce results similar to what we did in '94. Then, and only then, I'll be "glad" about any loss. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I'm glad we lost as well, it gave a burning hate for the Universoty of Texas that cannot be replaced by any other team in this country. Plus the fact that it made this team hungry, hungry for not only revenge, but for a title and that will carry them along way. edit: Iowa has a chance to replace Texas. Quote Link to comment
default_28 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It would have given the fanbase (not necessarily the team and coaches) some confidence that we can beat a highly ranked team It's been a long time since we beat a highly ranked team that there is still a 'can we do it' sentiment in the fanbase So I guess I wish we had won that game to give me more confidence that we can win the big ones Quote Link to comment
