Losing to an FCS team in the season opener is NEVER good...But had Texas won the game on their own last night my choice would have been UNI. After seeing last night's cluster **** I'm going with losing to Texas.

UNI is an FCS team, not from the MAC.

That said, both suck, but it hurts worse when the ability to win the game is removed from your control by poor officiating.

UNI. I think you have to get used to close losses when you are going to be more competitive. We are used to these tight wins that are stressful, and blowouts. We are going to end up losing closer games, and it is a good thing.

UNI sucked more. At least after last night's game I didn't have to pair the loss with the feeling that my team sucks. We've got a team of which we can be proud.

UNI- a punch to the gut
Texas- swift kick to the jewels with a pointy shoe

This hurts worse. The UNI game sucked a lot. But bad games happen. They just do (see Texas Tech in basketball).

This game was taken away from Iowa State. They did everything they needed to to win.

This needs a poll. I'm going with UNI though.

I'd rather that the team play well and lose a close one than look like we don't belong on the field with UNI.

Texas loss sucked more. UNI is a better team than what Texas was last night with their injuries and a QB that is about as athletic as an elephant. Plus beating Texas at home on ESPN would have been a much bigger boon to the program than losing to UNI way back when almost no one can remember it outside of this state right now.

Every facet of the UNI game was embarrassing. Our team did everything necessary to win the game last night, played hard for 60 minutes, UNI was worse by a long shot.

No doubt...UNI. We didn't play well and were dominated by an FCS team. Last night hurt worse because we played much better and put together about 3 1/2 quarters of good football. The diff is that we played much better last night. We play like that against UNI and Iowa we win both games.

In terms of how much it hurt the program I'd say losing to UNI was way worse, it's never acceptable for a Big 12 or any BCS conference team to lose to an FCS opponent. In terms of which one makes me angrier I without a doubt have to go with Texas. We legit just got outplayed and lost to UNI, we had the win taken from us and handed over to Texas by our own conference.

UNI easily.

At least we can hang our hat on a gutsy performance after Texas. Those guys played with a ton of heart last night.

The guys were 100% uninspired for the entire UNI game. That in itself makes it worse.

UNI is much worse in the 'omg our team is awful' sense.

Texas is much worse in the '******* a we got ****ed again' sense.

Our play vs. UNI was god awful I can agree with this. Last night's game made me really feel for the team..I didn't feel threatened by that Texas team at all-even when they led 10-0 early on. We played better ball and deserved that win.
