hack Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 that, my friends, was about 70 years of pent-up jayhawk football frustration released in one game. enjoy it now kansas. the order will be restored and this day will be avenged. so swears... uh... me? Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 And the intelligent response is that Kansas, while obviously not gearing way down, was not running up the score. They were running their offense and they stopped throwing the ball way down field. They started running and dumping short passes. If we can't stop them, THAT'S OUR OWN DAMN FAULT. And as I've mentioned before, KU now has legit national title hopes. But they get no respect, so they need big wins to get voters' attention. thats all fine and good. again, I'm not saying its wrong, or that they had no reason to do it. but that is running up the score.

melscott62 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I remember going to an NU/ISU game in 1995 or 1996 I believe and the score was 77-0. Now do you call that not running up the score? That was the case of one of the best football teams ever against a horrible ISU team and defense. Same principle applies today. Also keep in mine how many short fields KU had today....many! did we have our starters palying in the 4th quarter? Quote Link to comment

No it's not, because they were not sending the ball way down field. Part of their game is big plays down the field, which they did against us for much of the game. And then when they really pulled ahead they started running more and dumping the short passes. That's just their game, a balanced offense. They don't run it all day long. They did pull back some, but we couldn't stop them. Quote Link to comment
gratefulhusker Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 We had it coming, I don't blame Kansas. Our defense allowed that ridiculous score to become reality. Kudos to our players, though. I still think they played their hearts out. Quote Link to comment

Then why are you getting all worked up about it? It happened. And I guaran-dam-tee, every other Big 12 team out there would jump at the same opportunity if given the chance after the 4 decades of ass whoopin's we dished out. Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 We scored ridiculous #'s of points on the lesser-thans in the Big 12 for years and years. Whether we intentionally ran up the score or not, don't expect any mercy. If I was a KU fan I'd have been cheering for 100 points. We beat them 36 years in a row. I guess I don't have a problem with it. I think someone else in this post said it "If you don't like it them stop them from scoring." Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Nebraska 84 - Minnesota 13 (1983) did we have our starters in the game!!!! its not the score, its the way it was done. Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Anyway, I doubt we'll ever agree on this. But in another thread you condoned running up the score on them in the future. Talk about hypocrisy. So I'm done with this thread, we'll just agree to disagree and agree that hypocrisy disgusts me. Quote Link to comment

A team has every right to play whatever players they want. This is big boy football! Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I believe the radio guys said, specifically, that KU told their first string they were staying in until they hit 70. That, to me, is running up the score. However, KU might have scored 70 anyways. Our D was just that bad today. Quote Link to comment

I have continued to say over and over again I am not saying its wrong. I am just calling what it is. everyone is trying to make it more than it is Quote Link to comment

This is what D1 college football is about. No playoff, just a bunch of teams fighting for poll positions that are determined by a 3rd party. KU has to do everything they can to earn respect from those 3rd parties, can't blame them. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Quote Link to comment
