Oh yeah, make sense.

Mudas has a special ability where he can look at a score and know exactly what happened in every blowout.

State Law. And numbers don't lie.

Should really up the amount tho. I'm sure in lopsided matches coaches will shoot for the 35 to get the running clock. Given JV may score at least once I'd say you should make it 43+

[globemstr3]

I would certainly not put the Senators in that group. In fact I think the number is 48.

The numbers don’t tell the hoe story. Ask the children 🧒

Griffith’s two RUTS are against schools that beat them last year.  And bigger schools at that.  Defense has pitched two shutouts and offense has multiple weapons for a change.  Running clocks the entire second half both games.  Not saying they aren’t RUTS but for a program that has been kicked in the teeth a lot the last several years, the payback tour is underway and it’s going to be exciting to watch.

49-7 South Adams over Bellmont WAS NOT "running up the score"

Both Coaches, Athletic Directors and all involved saw that it was futile to play a 2nd half in the wake of lighting and weather for basically 30 minutes of FB.

Perhaps, prior to making these preemptive remarks, do a bit of investigation as to how they GOT there, 1st?

One that didn’t make it but most certainly would have was Danville and Purdue Poly.  27-0 after 1st quarter and then weather hit.  No resumption of game.

Giving Danville the benefit of the doubt and believe that for whatever reason, a scheduling hiccup led to both teams having a date available that led to this game being scheduled.  Really no point for either of these teams to ever play each other in any ordinary situation.
