Seriously? I don't agree with the rule but 61-13 is an embarrassing beat down. Imagine this...ISU 61 Iowa 13.
When you compare it to 103 to 0 or similar scores it is not. 61 to 13 is a blowout and sucks for the losing team. But it's not a score that you're going to think they were just running up the score.
And if I compare 103-0 to GT beating Cumberland 222-0 it doesn't amount to much. What's the point? 61-13 is a blow out no matter who's playing and getting blown out is...bad..
We are talking about suspending a coach a game over it. The point is this is your run of the mill blowout. Not something you look at and say that coach is garbage for running up the score
Well...I never said that. I said I didn't care for the rule. I also said getting beat 61-13 is bad. Especially bad if you went in as one of two undefeated teams. Again, if ISU beat Iowa by that score, there would be Hawkeyes on suicide watch.
Coach QC always runs up the score in his kid's youth soccer league.
Played 8 man in Iowa. Some of the smaller schools in that division just have no chance. We were average to good, 6-3 or better each year and we probably averaged 30 kids 9-12. Some of the schools we played had 20 or less. Some of the better schools had 40-50 for an 8man team. When you get those bigger schools in the division against a smaller schools, you can see scores upward toward 80-0. It's hard to compete when you just don't have numbers to even field a practice squad.
Hawkeye fans go on suicide watch if ISU wins 14-13.
It’s a beat down but at least in Iowa, those types of scores are becoming quite commonplace across all classes. There was a 4A game (highest class) last week that was 90-0.
