I like how they went up 72-0 in the 1st quarter and still shut them out. Imagine the defense they are putting on the field, that no team has even gotten a FG yet. Very Impressive.

I wonder how they would do against the Dolphins and Rams?
(just a joke people, don't give me a serious answer about how they would get their ass handed to them)

The Pats should take notes. Up 72-0 after one quarter, and only win 83-0. Don't need to run up the score.

They need a mercy rule. If your winning by more then 49 then game over.

YOU SOB! All this Dolphin hate. Any other team can go winless after 8 games and nothing is said. As soon as Miami does it, it a big deal. Nobody made this big of a deal when Tampa was going 0 for whatever

I believe they have a mercy rule similar to the one in FL. Once a team goes up by 30 (or maybe it's 40), the losing coach can request a running clock that only stops during timeouts.

But that's when backups get to play (presumably). Mercy rules are ridiculous. I'm waiting for the study that shows that someone's life is negatively effected by losing by 80 instead of 60. Plus, a "Mercy Rule" loss is a bigger blow to the psyche than actually playing out the games. On the other hand, in football, if tempers are starting to flare, etc, the referee should have the discretion to pull the plug in a blowout game. |

The fact that you have to often travel to play another school, makes me think a mercy rule is a waste. We might get pummeled, but I'd rather stay and play than not. In little league, it makes sense because it's not a competitive school sport, but an insular league often of kids from the same neighborhoods and stuff.
Not that high school sports couldn't be that, but...I know I'd much rather have played than get on the bus after getting waxed 50-0. Who says we can't score 50 in the 2nd half. We'll never know, but..I'd rather get the chance than to get "mercy" and sent home early. |

Would suck if your HB needed just 11 yards to break the school record for yards in a game, yet scores a 10 yard TD to put the team up by 49 and it's game over.

Well I don't know it just seems a little harsh to blow out a team that bad.

I am not so sure that it is not harsher on the adults involved than it is on the kids.

Remember that autistic kid that threw in like 800 3-pointers during garbage time in a high school basketball game?
Wouldn't have happened with a mercy rule. And there's plenty of similar, non-newsworthy instances of that kind of thing. It's not always about winning and losing - cutting short the already limited experience of someone's high school athletic careeer just isn't a good idea.

Worst loss I was ever involved in was 70something - 0. They actually took it easy on us.
Is this team one that picks and chooses its players, getting them to come play for them or just a regular high school? |

In my last year of high school ball we beat a team 121-0 and 131-2. We had 3 players with triple doubles in the second game.

This thread is about football, Groundhog...
Shutting out a team in hoops is very impressive, though.

Well, slightly less impressive if you'd seen our opponents, who I'm not sure had ever played organised basketball before the tournament.

Sure, I know a lot of teams' m.o. is to always go for two, if they don't have a kicker with experience. And it's okay to do that while the game was competitive. But, once the game was in hand, wouldn't it have been good to give the kicker (or a kicker candidate) some game time experience in a low-pressure environment? |

i agree that Mercy Rules limit the amount of playing time a backup/scrub would get. garbage time is normally reserved for those types of players.

Yup, after being up by three TD's, you should give the kicker some work. |
