We need an 18 page thread on Stanford

Maybe the Stanford coach was especially upset about somebody possibly stealing his signals and one of his players got pinched at the bottom of the pile....because, then the other guys had it coming....

[Lionheart88]

I have a feeling they're a bit annoyed about not being picked for the playoff.

So they took it out on the like public school? Shame on them.

Per comments from Musburger and Palmer, it was the thing to do.  Musburger said you play hard until the end and Palmer mentioned the Spurrier (his college coach) position of if you don't like the opposition scoring, then stop them.

If not questionable, why were Mussburger and Palmer discussing the issue?  Running up the score with the clock running down is bad form at any level in any sport.

"who possibly lack class during one of their big games" is not equivalent to a complete lack of class. But, whatever makes you feel better to justify it.


What's weird is that this subject was gone; not talked about for awhile now. PA fans can't let it go because they are too prideful and must defend the immature actions of their coach. The coach has apologized, most fans have admitted it was classless, and it shouldn't have been done. Why try to, yet again, justify it and bring it up? I can't begin to fathom why PA is so disliked on these boards...

Maybe PA wasn't the first team to score a late and unnecessary TD, though based one the reaction on hogville that's hard to believe.

Do you really think Mussberger knows what he's talking about?

In some areas - yes.  (Remember, this is Fearless Friday and not Hogville though..)   

[Lionheart88]

College is also pretty different because it's so poll-driven.  You can't count on every voter watching every game, so putting up big scores makes you look better than easing up and winning a close game, especially if they only see a box score or read a recap.  Even the end-of-season poll that'll come out in a week or two matters for recruiting and because it'll influence preseason polls this fall.  Plus a coach might get bonuses based on final ranking and the like.  In high school, of course, you don't have to worry about catching people's attention; you'll make the playoffs or not solely on your record.

Talk to your buddy's at PA. Probably enough money there to end poverty. Might take some time for world peace though

Booing for good reason - between the Stanford band's performance intended to demean Iowa, and running up the score; their arrogance was on display.  Belima demonstrated the way it should be done in today's Hog victory.

I heard a guy complaining about a player getting stem cell surgery on a torn up knee and returning to play after 69 days , any body know what that was or any truth to it ?

He was complaining about a player don't know who , but he was just going on and on about it. I walked in on conversation and walked out before hearing much else. Not sure what or who the complaint was about. Doesn't matter I suppose, it's amazing if someone recovered that fast.

I never said I agreed with running up the score I only awnsered the question. However Musburger and Palmer were fine with running up the score and that was the conversation the were having. IF YOU DONT WANT US TO SCORE THEN STOP US.

[Oldbadger]

Steve Spurier has never been a favorite coach of mine due to his arrogance.  Because of his attitude I personally have little respect for him.  He would have won exactly the same amount of games without running up the score. And, would have more personal respect from me.  Professionally, he is a great coach, but, when the time comes to meet his maker, will he have a clear conscience!  I don't think so! I kept this comment from me, not others, because only they know how they feel. Sometimes a team is so totally outmanned and out classed they can't stop the other team.  Do you keep on and score 100 ?  It's called respect and honor.  In order to be respected and have honor you have to show that to others.

Well said. Being a Bama fan my whole life I know him all to well. I have been on the receiving end of his running up the score and I have also seen how it pains him when the favor is returned. I never played for a coach that would do it and my kids have never played for a coach that would do it. JC has been accused of running up the score but realistically it would be 2nd or 3rd team scoring on running plays most times and that can't be helped.

[Yellowcake]

Still crying because a team scored an extra touchdown, for which the coach apologized and called himself an idiot for doing. Red Devil was making a point most of you missed.

By the way, if someone ever does this to PA, you know, run up a late touchdown on them, many of y'all will be sending the coach a Christmas ham. Because, you know, PA had it coming, in your minds.

But that is unlikely to happen because PA has all that money and all those recruits......in your minds.

Thought taking a few weeks off the board and returning would help avoid more of the same anti-PA rhetoric. My bad.

I remember when Euless Trinity hung 80 on Shiloh a few years ago,it changed some of the attitudes of the Shiloh family, coach, and faithful....

I would guarantee that if any team ran the score that high on PA, their folks would be just as upset. No body likes to be blown out like that. But first you have to find a team that can do that. I find it truly amazing that a school with right around 199 students can play at the level they do anyhow.

Don't guarantee that. I am a hypocrite. I would be very excited for someone to run the score up on PA. IF the roles were reversed in the championship game, I would be happy about it.

So you're saying you would be pleased if McClellan had been ahead by 13 points, called two timeouts in the last minute, and scored another touchdown?

Now that I see what you wrote, you admit you are a hypocrite, so I guess that is what you're saying.  But that kind of cuts against the "that's classless" argument, doesn't it?  Under your argument it just comes down to whose ox is getting gored.

While I've said several times that I disagree with what Kelley did, your post just indicates a bias against PA.  No team should act that way, even if it's a team beating PA.

Well no, I wouldn't have a defense against it being called classless lol. I would just accept that I agree with somebody doing it to PA and being considered classless. You know I have a bias against PA! I can admit it though. I always get excited when good teams that have been dominant get beat and knocked back down a notch. I don't see it happening to PA as long as Kelley is there though, so you're safe for now. Shiloh saw it eventually, as will PA. You know these boards will light up when PA gets beat soundly in the future!

You're right.  Folks will get excited when PA gets whipped.  And at least you're honest about your bias.  We all have them, but most folks won't admit them.

PA will have a down year even if Kelley stays.  It may not be this year, but every team has off years.  And, I agree that PA will decline when Kelley leaves.

If he did nothing wrong then why did he apologize? 

It's pretty simple.  He thinks he did something wrong whether you admit it or not.

Did you enjoy that Batesville/Blytheville game as much as I did?    It definitely fit your definition of the kind of game that gets you excited.
