Around SBN: Please, Someone Make Bob Sapp Stop Already

Pat Forde takes a shot at Petey (emphasis added)

So, bloodthirsty Stanford (2) went for two against the shattered Trojans with less than seven minutes remaining and the score 48-21. Seems Jim Harbaugh wanted to hang half a hundred on Pete Carroll, the coach he's now embarrassed twice in three meetings. The two-point try failed, but Stanford scored again at the 2:19 mark to make it 55-21.

The Dash doesn't expressly condone running it up like that. But The Dash understands, having seen Carroll routinely engage in excessive scoreboard tilting when USC was capable of crushing its opposition.

Now that the Trojans are not, it's hard to feel sorry for them.

For seriously

Good to see anyone in the media make this point. Shut up bill spashme.

The LAT

Not that anyone will be surprised, but the LAT is still whining, every single day, about Harbaugh’s 2 point try after the TD. Gary Klein wrote a whole column about this (and the alleged “feud” between Harbaugh and Cheatey) this morning.

Would the writers for the LAT and the sissies at South Central like some cheese with their whine? Do they not know how pathetic and hypocritical they sound and act when Cheatey has been running up scores for years? Rhetorical questions, folks.

Get over it, TrOJies. Your team was humiliated in its own house by Stanford, once again. Stop crying about a 2 point try that really made no difference to anything.

It's one way or the other

Either you don’t think teams should keep trying to put points on the board or you don’t care if they do, and then it applies always. Personally, I could care less if teams want to keep throwing the ball or go for two or whatever. If I’m getting killed, them putting more points on the board isn’t going to make me any more mad. I’m pissed because I just got my ass kicked and that’s it. Whether it’s a 30 point loss or 32 point loss or 50 point loss, I just got my ass kicked. If UCLA is killing the other team, I don’t mind us continuing to go for it, just like if we’re getting killed, I don’t mind the other team doing it, but for me, it applies universally. I have no problem if the LAT or whoever is a fan of the “take your foot off the pedal” line of thinking, but it needs to be applied universally, not when it hurts the feelings of their babies.

I am never a fan of running up the score.

With that being said, it was nice to see someone give Chetey a doze of his own medicine. How many times has he thrown the ball in the fourth quarter, while nursing a 20+ point lead. Deal with it!

Guys still try to hit home runs in the ninth inning with a 12 run lead

You can’t ask a third stringer not to try hard. If the QB sees that no one is covering a wide out, then you change the run up the middle to a pass to the uncovered guy.

I have no problem running up the score, either. Or as Herman Edwards says about beer, “You play to win the game.”
