My point exactly. The quality of Kansas HS football is pretty low.
PURPLE 4EVER Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 Still....72 points in a quarter....Wonder if they ran the clock after that...72 points is about 10 touchdowns.That is a touchdown every 72 seconds in a 12 minute quarter.Pretty impressive even if it is at junior high level....
bullets13 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 it's amazing to me that they were able to hold themselves to only 11 for the rest of the game. they must have put in the backup cheerleaders at the skill positions.
SHS_ATW Posted November 1, 2007 Report Posted November 1, 2007 I guess none of yall read the article on ESPN.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/highschool/news/story?id=3088759&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab4pos1Read it and you'll understand.
LUPatriot Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 This "Mercy Rule" thing is starting to get under my skin (Not just this, but from the NFL as well). I don't believe in a "Mercy Rule". If we are going to start worrying about "Feelings" then we need to take the scoreboards away and just have "Fun". Maybe we can even have cupcake parties after the games (I meant activities). I have been on both sides of the scoreboard. I have always felt that sometimes you need to get the holy crap beat out of you. It makes you re-evaluate where you are and it makes you realize what you need to do so it doesn't happen again. I don't think it's right for a team to prepare all week on a gameplan, maybe have better athletes and have to play your subs for 3 quarters. What good did the starters get out of this ? It's just like the real world. When you lose your job or you don't get to live the lifestyle you want too, you can't just pout about it. You have to "Man-up", raise your chin, and get back to work. I know some of you are going to say that this is Football, and it is supposed to be fun. Well if it's supposed to be fun, tell that to the coaches that work 7 days a week and get evaluated on their W's & L's on Friday Nights. If you want a "Mercy Rule", you better hope you don't play me. I teach my kids to play like we practice. If we can score 100, then we will. If we get beat by 100, then we lose the game and we get better from it.
HSFootball69 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Posted November 2, 2007 well we now know there is a team out there that getts wooped worse than BC?
