Shootouts are more fun to watch, because I like seeing some good plays on offense.

Take the '01 CU game, for example. There were a couple of 70-yard plays Crouch made at the end that were fun to go back and watch again. If the offense is anemic and it's a much closer blowout (your 21-0 example), it's not like the defense played well. I'd rather watch the offense demonstrate some firepower and just say, "OK, they were far too much for this D" than "They had a slight upper hand on the D and the offense couldn't do squat."

 
I think all loses are excrusiating...

It's what bugs you more...

Losing to Ohio St 63-38 or to Iowa St 9-7?

 
Personally I think you have to look at circumstances.

I consider a blowout when the other team lines up across from you and is flat out better from the time they stepped on the field to the time they step off. NU-MU in 2010 come to mind as does this years CCG.

OSU was just flat out an a$$ kicking after the first quarter (IIRC Urban changed a blocking assignment on the ZR, and changed Braxton's read) and we never adjusted.

ISU was one of those almost comical losses. It was one of those games where you're playing NCAA Football and they CPU decides you will lose the game no matter how much bullsh#t it takes.

My goodness, no it wasn't. It was 35-31 halfway through the 3rd quarter.

How many times am I going to have to point this out?
