Apparently, you don't even begin to understand the defintion of a real man. Real men do not continue to pound on the obviously helpless, nor do they condone teaching or allowing their teenaged sons to do so.

50-0 is no longer a game, by any civilized defintion thereof. You have only to watch one to know. Guess you haven't. :|

Perknose. I played against the best U-19 rugby team in the world in ~1992. It was the Wales national team. They had already beaten England, New Zealand, France, etc...

When they came to Ontario, Canada they beat us something like 87-3. Every time they touched the ball, they scored.

We couldn't stop them. We were the best players in the province and the best we could do was 87-3. It was the best game of my life and I would have been insulted if they pulled punches.

If you're not prepared to lose, then you shouldn't play the game. If you're not prepared to get walluped then get better at the game.

This might have already been touched on, but what were they supposed to do?

Kneel the ball? That's certainly humiliating.

Throw incomplete passes and fumble? Way to hurt a player's stats, especially if he wants to play college ball.

Let the ball carriers be tackled? The word "dangerous" comes to mind.

 

[UDT89]

you're supposed to run the ball and just run the clock out. no blitzing on defense either.

as far as stats for college ball, when i was recruited for baseball my 3 HR 8RBI game meant crap b/c it was against the weakest team in the county

Exactly, besides it should be up to the Officials to call the game over once reached 50 points, not suspend the coach.

The whole thing reeks pussification on all parts. :thumbsdown:

awww poor baby. mommy and daddy still bail you out when you get into trouble?
some of us face life head on and take what it throws at us without crying that someone make it all better.

real men, bah. real men would work harder and gather up more determination and guts so they don't get their ass whooped that badly next time. that's a real man.

i've played sports Mr. Perknose, and i wouldnt want the opposing team to baby us cause we sucked! in fact, i'd be insulted if they intentionally struck out because their score against us had gotten "too high".

My parents are both dead, but they had the grace and the wisdom to raise me properly.

Like most e-heroes bragging and braying like a donkey with a roto-tiller up its arse, you're all noise and on substance.


For the record, I voluntered for a long season in hell which put me in situations most of you could never begin to imagine, let alone survive or endure.

Then I came home, and eventually fell into being a PI for 14 years, during which I was often the only white guy at 2am for more than a mile around, looking for people (often armed) who didn't want to be found. I refused to carry a gun, I'd had my eternal fill of killing, and I survived -- though, kids, don't try this at home.

About sports: I grew up in the baby boom. There were plenty of kids, and we played each sport in season every day after school and all summer long, without ANY adult supervision. EVERYONE played, and we would NEVER have continued ANY game that got that pointlessly lopsided. Kids know intstinctively. Kids rule.

Oh, and I was a champion swimmer and wrestler in HS.

And you? You're just a mealy-mouthed punk with a bad attitude and big e-mouth.

No, he did the right thing. He put his third stringers in and had them run the ball instead of passing. He just did it a little too late.

I think the bottom line is this problem should be fixed by grouping the teams into more competitive leagues.

 

[LanceM]

And didn't he do exactly that? IIRC, there was no more passing game.

I saw that game! :thumbsup: 😛

Yeah because it's soo common that a team that will end up going for a TD + 2 point conversion ends up on the one yard line of the opposing team's endzone only to have that result in a turnover, a 99-yard return, and, for some reason a successful 2 point conversion.

Actually, now you're the one just being ridiculous. It can be up to 16 points. He wasn't saying that it happens often.

If a team is driving, winds up fumbling in the red zone, and then the opposing team recovers and scores, that's a 14 point swing right there. 6 for the would've been TD (+ PAT), 6 for the TD scored, and 1 for the PAT.

A 15 point swing is common. How many times have you seen a team back by 8 in the last few minutes? It does happen. True, like I said in my post, the 16 point swing probably never happens, but it is possible.

that's all nice.

You backed up what I said in a long drawn about way, that the Officials should've halted the game not suspend the coach.

Preaching to the chior man.

 

[Jawo]

What the heck? If his 3rd string was in during the 2nd quarter, the coach shouldn't be held responsible, especially if the opposing team hadn't won a game in FIVE YEARS!!!

This is really the stupidest rule I have ever heard about relating to sports.

That coach WILL NOT be suspended. He did everything in his power under the circunstances, I agree.

It 's just all this bloated talk of 'pussification' -- from the real life pampered pussies of this "wahhhh, where's my cellphone, mommy" generation no less, pisses me off.

You complain about the pussification of America, but how is your idea any less pussifying? 😕

That is all I'm trying to say.

If you're playing the game, then you might as well play.

If the score is deemed too lopsided to continue, then call the game.

Don't force the RBs to stop running or the QBs to stop throwing or the WRs to stop catching. Someone is going to get hurt and the losing team will be insulted.

They made a rule and out it on the one one to enforce it.

Officials are there to enforce rules, not the coach.

If any suspending is required, it should be the head Official that did not enforce the dumbass rule.

I suppose the loosing team will now be scarred for life due to their humiliating loss, they'll need years of therapy and may never play sports again. If only they lost by 49 points, then they would have been fine, disaster averted.

If they lost that bad then maybe it's a good thing that they don't play sports ever again.

 

[blckgrffn]

My highschool football team, while I played, went 0-35 @ 9 games per season. At least 3 per season were by 50 points or more. Yeah, it sucked, the coaching sucked, and all that.

The games were called at 50 points though. And you better believe that we were damned ready to get off the field by that point. And our squad was about 50 guys, JV and V.

Lots of funny stories still get shared about how much we sucked though.

My freshman year, we practiced blocking and tackling ONCE, and then condidtioned and watched the varsity run through plays the rest of the season. The next coach told us to "condition on your own time" and then just worked fundemetals with plays thrown in and the hardest part of practice being the warm up.

You can see why we sucked 😛

And I am not mentally scarred. I am actually getting back into watching football after a few years of distancing myself from it 🙂

Suspension Lifted

CHESHIRE, Conn. -- The first Connecticut high school football coach facing suspension under a new rule aimed at punishing those who run up the score has won his appeal.

Bridgeport Central High School coach Dave Cadelina had faced a one game suspension for Central's 56-point margin of victory over Bassick last week.

Under the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference rule, the head coach of any team that wins a football game by more than 50 points will be disqualified from coaching the next game.

Some coaches had dubbed the 50-point policy the Jack Cochran rule after former New London coach of the same name. Cochran's teams logged four wins of more than 50 points last year, including a 90-0 defeat of Griswold.

Tuesday, Cadelina had an appeal hearing and a three member CIAC committee sided with the coach after hearing testimony that Cadelina's team made its best effort to keep the score down by doing things such as removing starters from the game early as the margin increased and using running time in the second half.

Running up the score in a blowout IS considered bad sportsmanship. He could teach his kids something about that maybe.

Doubt he put in 3rd stringers anywhere near the 50 point mark. Just jacking up the stats for his first line. No coach gives a crap about their third string players and thats the truth.

You didn't even read the article. He took out the starters at the end of the first quarter.
