Believe it or not....... losing is not respectable. THAT has been our mind-set for entirely too long. And it's one of many things about our culture that needs to go away.

Again how can you blame the culture or mind set given out track record? Just this season we completely crapped the bed against Texas to open the season and stank it up on national television against La. Tech. These weren't even close games, they were ass whippings.

So while I agree the mindset needs to change you have to feed the fan masses with some fairly consistent success if you want to see it happen.

Regardless of past performances or seasons the mindset still needs to change, Harry. If we always settle we will always be mediocre. Screw moral victories, I want no part in that. Winning puts our university on the map. So, win.

Don't mistake my surprise at the recognition for complacency towards losing. I hate losing and don't ever expect to lose, but I think that considering our recent efforts, predicting us to keep it within a touchdown is respectable. Of course I predict us to win by two scores but I don't write columns on the internet.

I don't personally see the problem with moral victories. For instance, I have a pretty good memory of the Georgia game from last year, and was happy overall with our performance. It still sucked to watch UNT lose, but overall I came out feeling pretty good once all was said and done.

With that being said, I'm still not a fan of sugarcoating losses. It just depends on the expectations going in to the game.
