Is it just me, or do a lot of us (me included) have a tendency to give our opponents a lot of credit for their ability to motivate themselves using "revenge" as a factor...
...yet we never seem give the Gophers the same credit?
Example: maybe one of us will say that a team the Gophers thumped last year — maybe Purdue or Wisconsin — will be highly motivated to beat Minnesota this season for "revenge".
Yet we almost never claim that the Gophers will have any sort of edge over teams that beat us last season, like, say, Nebraska, Illinois or Maryland.
Then again, maybe I'm imagining all this. If so, carry on.
