Loser Mentality

I always thought the season would be a growth season. I'm looking forward for next season to be much better.

In a clear situation to me where we had the talent and opportunities to win a big conference road game in front of the LA recruiting hotbed, this one was more painful than the losses we've had for years.

It sucked when we lost games with inferior talent, but we were only hoping to win. We overachieved last year and lost to teams with far superior athletes.

I rank this up there with Hawkins blowing a 28 point lead in Kansas.

Did you have us penciled in for beating UCLA on the road in the season prediction thread?

I never claim to know what's going to happen before the season starts. I didn't make a prediction.

Were we favored? No. Should we have won? Easily.
 
My biggest issue was that they are not more talented that we are. But both O and D lines had a certain meanness in this particular game that we didn’t have. When they needed a yard, they got it. When we needed it, we lost a yard. Wen they needed a catch by their receiver, they got it. When we needed it, we dropped it. There were equal bone headed play calls and penalties. They just overcame better. And that is a mental thing.

UCLA's O and D lines are more talented than ours; that is our biggest issue. We can not win games with better or equal skill positions and inferior big men.

Can anyone explain to me the fake fg at the end of the first half? You are down 1 point going into half at that point. You know you are in a dog fight, so why not take the points? MM has never done this before and don't understand it. Even if you get the touchdown, I still don't understand the call when you get the ball to begin the second half.

It was a terrible idea since it didn’t work. Maybe it was just a bad idea period. But I sort of liked it - (the idea, not the play) - there was probably some thought that we were in the underdog position at UCLA, Rosen might take off in the 2nd half, and that a major psychological boost for us might turn the tables. Whatever, it was a gamble and MM lost. So we all lost.

The losses to nebraska in 96,97,98,99,and 00 were worse by a landslide.

I was in middle school during most of those years. Not nearly as invested as I am now.

We had 10 years of losing because we had wr's playing corner back. I still watched and cheered for Espinoza island.

But now we have talent to compete on and off the field. I can't stand choking.

Jaximus, Please step away from the ledge. I know how you must feel.

You can jump if you still feel this way in about one year.

GBR!

Nah, let him jump. OTOH, If he lands on his head only the pavement will be damaged. Why destroy good pavement.

Oh gawd. The list could go on and on and on. Not sure I want to go there.

The loss to UCLA was painful. Both teams played down to the opposition.

But anytime a game is decided on the final play is entertaining. Sure the loss stings. But there was hope right up until the end when Montez took that final snap and launched the ball into the end zone.

I found the Udub game much more painful because CU was depantsed.
UCLA was not really a surprise loss. Both teams get penalized. Lots of boneheaded plays. Poor clock management by Mora. These CU-UCLA matchups are competitive and frustrating. But close games is what makes college football watchable.

Signed,
Pissed & disappointed, but thoroughly entertained.
 
Why are you guys punishing yourselves like this? Man. 10 years of suktatude wasn't enough? we are at least very competitive and should have actually won this game (ucla). We beat ourselves...
