I really don’t care about either team, but I don’t feel bad that Oregon had the score run up on them. They regularly do it to other teams including beating South Dakota 62 to 13.

Exactly.

You would think at 45 they would be comfortable, Oh hell no!

Now we have a whiner about 22 points. Typical LIB shit.

I always thought that in football when you had the ball the object was to score points. It didn’t matter what the time was left in the game, or how many points you or the other team had, your job was to score points. That’s not “running up the score”, it’s playing the game. My coach always told me you play the game for the whole game, you don’t quit, whether it’s the start or end of the game. Laying down for your opponent is a sign of disrespect, that you have pity for them. A good opponent doesn’t want pity, they want respect, and you give that by playing them with your best effort. You shouldn’t feel bad for the other team because it’s not what they want or should want. Neither should you feel bad for playing the game hard every play and every minute. Play tough but play fair. Respect your opponent. And be friends after the game.
