Like hell he wouldn't have.  Lou felt the Noles, Huskers, and the South Bend Pop Warner team were better than his Irish, who were just lucky to be in any games that year
after Boo Hoo Lou's crying for a share of the title that season, 
I remember Bobby Bowden being very gracious and admitting that Nebraska was probably the best team.  Probably just to get at Lou.  Bobby wasn't giving the hardware back.

Not quite sure how he could claim getting screwed in 1990.  Getting screwed in the Orange Bowl?  Perhaps.  Even with a win there, they weren't jumping an undefeated Georgia Tech, or probably even a 2 loss Miami (who ND did beat) the way those teams manhandled Nebraska and Texas in the Citrus and Cotton Bowls.

Lou Holtz did a great job at ND. Really, he did. But for all the post hoc ND fandom I've acquiesced to in my married years, I've never really come around on him. I'll sing their praises, and I'll say he was good, but I won't sing his praises.

Screwed those years? Nope. Win the games you need to win--including BC at home.
