After all-too-familiar heartbreak at Minnesota, it’s on the Huskers to convince themselves that a path past the self-inflicted pain exists.
And to all of the ever-present Nebraska fan base, this loss felt like the next chapter in a never-ending, sad story.
I’m an idiot. It’s no change. I tried to convince myself with the rhetoric. Nothing is different. Pain. Sadness. Devastation.The fans show up no matter what, selling out Memorial Stadium for more than 60 years. But their emotional baggage comes, too. After any loss, it can be a bit of a drag on the football environment.“I’m not even thinking about anything that happened before I got here,” Rhule said. “It has nothing to do with me. I don’t want our players to think about that.
The coach is right, of course. Rhule knows the formula to play winning football. But in that locker room Thursday and on the field during the final five minutes when everything went wrong for the Huskers, it’s about more than fixing mistakes. It’s about understanding that the past does mean something to many of the Huskers. It’s about ridding the program of a defeatist mentality. The blank stares and pained expressions on Nebraska faces Thursday night looked familiar to what we saw after Nebraska played at Minnesota in 2021, 2019 and 2017.
