when another team loses badly, the winners are said to run up the score but when the shoe is on the other foot, it's just having fun.  You can't have it both ways.  If I can't stop you, that's my fault not yours.  If a game lasts 60 minutes, you play hard for 60 minutes.  The Cowboys couldnt stop the Vikings and maybe if they had gotten to Brett Favre on that blitz, he would not have thrown for his 4th TD.  The loser has only themselves to blame so quit crying foul.  In terms of Yates, you know what what you are facing, if you can't handle it forfeit, cancel the game, or just do the best you can and accept the results.

No matter the sport, each team has only two main responcibilities; 1) score more than the other team and 2) keep the other team from scoring more than you do. Obviously, the losing team must not have done well with either one of these area's.

Wrong.

I don't believe in running up the score.

As much as I dislike Cowboy fans, I have to agree with them about that last TD that the Vikings scored yesterday.

Don't get me wrong, I dislike the Cowboy fan in a person, not the person.

Our owner of this site is a big Cowboy fan and I give him greif about it all the time, but we are still friends.

Wait, so a HIGH SCHOOL team that clearly overmatches another should have no problems with totally demoralizing them?  this isn't the pros, or college; most of these kids play for the love of the game.  It is not with the "oversensitivity" of an old lady that I say this--beating teams by 40 has the same effect as beating them by an 80.  And i've been on both sides of the situation; it is a classless thing to beat the snot out of a bunch of high school kids.  Last year school A (not naming names) beat school B in football by a comically excessive ammount.  School B returned the favor in baseball, winning by about 25 runs (cant remember exactly) and would of scored more without a mercy rule.  How are either of these things right?

There are ways to keep clubs from scoring that many.I think the clubs they are playing are responsible for the scores.Slow the game down, let the air out of the ball,trip the breaker , whatever it takes but don't try to run with these rascals.You're not gonna win that battle.

I like Yates running the score up. Hopefully they will score 300 points on somebody before the year is over.
[/quote]You know Ron, I like you better when you are taking your meds ;D Be realistic with your point spreads. No more than 150 points, okay? 300!!!!!! Sheez!

I definitly do not mind with a team running up the score. There are ways for the team to prevent that in football and basketball. Theres no shot clock in highschool basketball...If a team is starting to beat you badly, hold the ball for as long as you want. In football if a team is beating the crap out of you...Then just run the ball and wait for the playclock to get to 1 each time before you snap it. I was apart of the 62-0 loss from WO-S a few years back and I completely dont blame them. It was demoralizing, but we should have played better.

Now leaving the starters in the whole game is a different story; however, if you put in second/third stringers in and you're still beating the crap out of them, then thats the other team's fault for bad preparation and lack of focus.
