Shouldn't keep 'em down very long, BCS programs can afford to have a few Viagra stations on the sidelines.

no doubt some coaches are _______s and take pleasure in humilating opponents.....i just worry more about why my team could get the score run up on it....focus on what you can control...
if you get beat 70 - 0, it ain't the other coaches fault, wheather he's "ran up the score" or not....get better and don't cry...
What if we lay a whipping on someone by running our option run attack......and we put in morel or hundley and he run's it just as well....are we running up the score? Should we start passing so as to not run up the score? What if that works too? Should we just start taking a knee? I would find that even more humiliating if I was the opponent.
Stokley took a bunch of knees inside the Tulane ten when it was clear they could no longer stop us. Kept it under 50, so yes we could run dive plays, could use other backs that need work. Spurrier is an a(ss). You can try and spin it however you like.
I did not miss a moments sleep when Nebraska put sixty plus on Florida in that bowl game for a national title.
I agree that the coach can stil run his playbook. If he has his back up s in there and after getting a comfortable lead and they still manage to score I don't consider that running it up. But leaving the starters in well after the game is in hand and is what I consider running it up. Agreed that it means your team has to get better but that point has apparently already been made what more is ther to prove by leaving the starters in?
I'm personally not going to cut Spurrier any slack for his antics, but I could care less if anyone runs up the score on me. Once you are in a position to be humiliated, it is already done. Therefore, I could really care less about the final minutes. It's actually a little more humiliating to a competitor like myself to know that I have put my opponent in a position to coast down the final stretch.
Now... if Bustle gets into a position against USC where we have a substantial margin midway thru the 4th quarter, we should get a few reps in with some of the Cajun 2nd and 3rd stringers. However, due to it being Spurrier, I would like us to take a knee, act dignified, and offer the Gamecocks some corn.
Iknew this would get some good post :)
Thanks for the good info. In case you didn't know, the name reference is really about OUR name. The LSU folks ALWAYS (nearly) insist that we can't be UL, since our "official" name is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Some have said we can't be UL because there is already a UL (Louisiville). Hence the faux complaint about USC.

<blockquote> <p align=justify>
Hundreds of different situations and odd scenarios can come up during college football games, and UL's squad started going through many of those situations in Friday's practice.
But that was just a warmup.
Today, when UL wraps up its third week of fall practice, the Cajuns will spend the majority of the workout going through different situations that could pop up during the season.
UL coach Rickey Bustle said that the team will go through at least 72 different oddities today during its 9 a.m. practice.
"You can't hit them all during the season," he said. "You hope that if we go over them now, you can react to them during a game. Most of them we hope don't come up."
The Cajuns actually began going through some of the scenarios in Friday's pads-and-shorts practice, after spending the team part of drills working on South Carolina.

The offense spent time on running out the clock in the final two minutes, setting up for half or game-ending field goals, conserving time in late drives and other clock-vital situations. The Cajuns also went through game-ending plays.
"You've got to spend two or three days of work on all the scenarios," said offensive coordinator Blake Anderson. "The guys have to be able to recall it and be prepared when the time comes.
"The Boise State-Oklahoma game last year was a great example. That was stuff that Boise had been working on since fall camp, and they'd carried it for 10, 11 weeks until they needed it. You've got to be prepared with things like that."
A lot of today's practice will include procedures when situations come up on special teams and in the kicking game.
"So many things can come up there," Anderson said. "This is the heaviest day we'll spend on all that, so that the time we have to spend there later isn't as much."
UL, aiming at its Sept. 1 opener at South Carolina, spent most of Friday's team periods working against scout teams simulating Gamecock looks and formations. That will continue Sunday night when the Cajuns begin official game-week practice.
INJURIES: Offensive tackle Jesse Newman returned to full practice Friday and worked with the top offensive unit. He had missed most of the last two weeks with a sore back.
Six players were limited in Friday's drills, which were moved indoors with the wet conditions on the practice fields.

Beside the definiton of "class act" in the dictionary is a picture of Nelson Stokley.
I recollect his alma mater once put up 60 on Tulane and then scored a 2 point conversion so they could match a 62-0 in a prior season.
There's definition for that too but I'd get banned if I shared it here.
