If a team is throwing the ball with a big lead that is running up the score, but if a team is running the ball and still scoring, then the other team needs to learn how to tackle ;)

If a team is 3 TD's ahead in the 1st qtr most coach's I know are not going to pull their starters, but if they are up by 4 TD's then about midway through the 3rd qtr would be about right.

99.5% of coach's are not going to run up the score because what goes around comes around. ;D

I agree with this, I know some people in the surrounding area were upset about the Vidor/Lumb score because it was so high.  However, Vidor wasn't out to keep the score running up out of spite or anything else.  When you put 2nd and 3rd string in and they run the ball and continue to score because the opposing team just can't tackle what are you supposed to do??  Kneel at the 1 yard line and give the ball to the opposing team?

Then you bring in your backup's backup and continue to run the ball. You start throwing you'll never here the end of it.

When you put backups on, you cannot expect them not to play well. Most of those kids will probably never play if the score is always close. I'm pretty sure they have parents on the stands that want to see them score, or do something they'll be proud of. Lets not put an unfair expectation on the backups. It's football.

Ned had a chance to score again with the backups against Ozen at the end of the game,  we kneeled on the 3 yard line to end the game.

You chalk it up as a learning experience and put your big boy pants back on.  This ain't little league.

Agreed, tackle better.  That's part of what's wrong with the world today.  Make it the fault of the winning team.  Why not work harder to get better and prevent it from happening.  Sure there are teams that are flat out better but things can still be done.  Also why should the winning teams back ups be penalized and told not to score.

I'm sure I'm on the minority side, everyone is going to say how damaging it is to the feelings to get the score ran up on.  Work hard, use it as motivation and get ready for when your next chance comes around.

To me that's more embarrassing the scoring the TD.  Kneeling at the 3

The Pirates have been told one time to not score and that was in the Vidor/Central game last year. It was the Friday after the unexpected loss of Matt Thomas #28. Our score at the time was 28 and there was less than two minutes of play time left and Central had to kick the ball to us. Mathews told those boys, If you get the ball and make a run for it, whatever you do, do not score. Needless to say, the score ended with us having 28 points.

I agree 100% with you GCMProud.  I would much rather have them punch it in instead of kneeling.  I guess the running clock is the only mercy rule that exists in high school football, but is it a rule?  Or an unwritten rule?  And at what point do the refs see the need to keep the clock running?

To me that's more of a slap in the face. It's almost as if you're saying, we know we're better and we could score if we wanted to, but we're gonna let you make it this game.

No, were saying the game is over and has been since the third quarter and we are not going to run up the score.  Running up 66 points on a team is just asking for karma.

      Biden just called half of America "GARBAGE".

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Are you really gonna talk about decorum from a President while supporting the guy who effectively has no such decorum? Just last night the former president (and would-be despot) was in Arizona talking with Tucker Carlson and fantasized about Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad… after calling her dumb, of course.     Trump didn’t just “defecate all over the office of the President”…. He is a piece of excrement.

      Montgomery @ PNG Discussion

      By tvc184 · Posted

      I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

      Virginia Judge Rules State Of Virginia Can't Strike Noncitizens From Voter Rolls!

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
