Running Up The Score

[gophmeister]

The score of the WI game last got me thinking, does anyone think the badgers will experience some blow back in the future? You know, what goes around comes around.

I only hope that we're way ahead of them someday in the 4th quarter and Bielema's still coaching and we pump like 4 more TD's in and go for 2 on each and every one of them.

Yes, it will come back to get him. I can only hope it is soon. I do not like BB.

Give it up already. They took a knee late in the game and just ran it down NW's throats...

Yesterday was fine.

However, seeing that I'm a fan of karma, I firmly believe that sometime in the future, the bad karma generated by his ausentious displays in the Axe and IU games will be shoved squarely up his ass. I hope it's the Gophers that do the deed.

I actually have to agree 100%. I am not sure about the other games, but THIS game, I think they only threw 24 times total and not once in the second half. I believe they put all those points up running the ball, what more can you expect them to do? That's not running up the score, they ran the ball, ran the clock, and were not being stopped. Nothing wrong there other than NW's run D

It is more important than ever to run up the score as much as possible. Wisconsin is the highest ranked Big Ten team because, despite the fact that they had a very easy schedule, they have put up big numbers on decent opponents.

My god, give it up already! Yes, he stuck it to Brew as a parting gift after Brew entered the B10 puffing his chest and claiming he'd be the first one to touch the Axe. Give me a break.

Is it Wisconsin's fault that Indiana couldn't stop a 3rd string QB and all backups late in the third and the entire 4th quarter?

Is it Wisconsin's fault that Northwestern couldn't stop their run game? UW didn't score a single point in the 4th quarter. What the hell do you want them to do?

It's funny to me that the (former) head coach of Indiana said he had no problem with what Wisconsin did, and that his team just couldn't stop them, yet the Minnesota Gopher fan base is sticking with the 'running up the score' mantra.

When the day comes when the Badgers get 83 or 70 dropped on them by anyone in the B10 I'll take the position that says we should have stopped the other team, not sit and whine like a little girl that the other team ran up the score. What a loser cop out mentality that is.

Sconnie surely didn't run it up yesterday. They just ran and ran (literally) and NU couldn't stop them. That ain't running it up, that's just being a dominant football team.

All I hope is that someday we can get to the point where our Gophers are being debated as to whether they 'ran it up' or not.

OK...I am about to puke, but I agree with the Badger fans on this one. The only thing Bielema did that was somewhat classless this year was go for 2 against Minnesota. The 70 on Austin Peay, the 83 on IU and the 70 on Northwestern were NOT running up the score. The other teams simply could not stop them.

This gets me thinking about Paul Chryst, I mean should the OC not get some credit for this scoring binge? Now, I am not saying I want Chryst to be our coach, but they have put up some pretty impressive offensive numbers.

Agree. Please, no more whiners on this board. I don't want my team associated with all those candy-asses who complain about a team running up the score. Especially since WIsconsin is competing for a BCS Bowl position.

The 2-pt conversion was certainly awkward. But mostly just kind of funny because they couldn't convert it. Brewster proved, as he did many times while he was here, that he was in way over his head when he made a big deal out of that.

Sure you will...
