I laugh at the idiots that got pissy when BB ran up the score. As I have said before, 'running up the score' never bothered me. Mostly because its football and not ballet, you NEVER stop playing hard. And also because when it's our Gophs running up the score, I enjoy it even more.
Can't wait to dish out some crow around these parts when Kill runs the score up on BB and our *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#y neighbors to the East..

Did Jerry Kill's Northern Illinois team run up the score on the Gophers?

I don't have a problem with one team piling on the points on another. If the D can't stop them then tough titty. It's going for 2 when up by 25 that I have a problem with. There's absolutely no reason for that. None.

Looking at the box score. Here are NIU's 2nd half drives.
3rd quarter
1. 1 play, 81-yard TD Run
2. 1 play, 61-yard TD Run
3. 5 plays, 4 rushes, 1 pass (for 1 yard), missed FG
4. 1 play, 61-yard TD Run
4th quarter
1. 2 plays, 2 rushes, 30-yard TD run
2. 1 play, 74-yard TD run
3. 6 play, 6 rushes, end of game
So what is filling you with more rage? That 1) NIU's running backs didn't purposely fall down on their TD runs, or 2) that NIU completed a 1-yard pass midway through the 3rd quarter?

That didn't bother me so much after it was stopped. The classless move with that bit was BB's excuse that it was in the 'coaches card' to call that play. Grow a pair you doouchenugget and admit you were running it up. Don't give us an OBVIOUS lie as an excuse.
That said, I really, REALLY hope Kill is our Paterno / Tressel and he runs the piss out of the score against Iowa and Becky.
