RUNNING CLOCK GAMES/BLOWOUTS

[hoofbeat]

HopeTSSAA notices the running clock games/blowouts. Not fun for either teams, fans and not good for the T$$AA dollar!

It's the new norm. Used to every week was exciting games now maybe 1 or 2 a year. Absolutely atrocious some of the teams I've seen this year

Thing about it is, what can you do? I know in 1a you got your ups and downs more often than in larger classes but the past couple years has been ridiculous

There's not a problem as far as I'm concerned, I'm just wondering what has happened to a lot of these schools that were consistently being competitive every year now going 0-10 or 1-9

A lot of people think the 1A cutoff is too high. I personally think it is but I don't think changing it is a solution because all you do is move a big 1A school to 2A and then they might be on the other end of the beatings. So what does that really fix? Nothing in my opinion

Here is a novel idea. Practice, work and compete. Stop reaching for get the privates out or change the cut off. What are we teaching our kids? This world is not going to give you anything. Please!!!!!!

need to teach kids to take a boot in the teeth, Lord knows life will hit ya with one from time to time. Gotta learn how to overcome tough situations and become better and stronger because of it.

I for one absolutely hate blowout games. I will stay at home when I know we, UC, are on the road and I think we will blowout the team we are playing. But the single biggest reason that happens is because our kids work hard and dedicate themselves to the program. Now other people out there say it's because we are a large 1A school. I remember before Coach Bowling arrived when we were not the team we are now. We barely made the playoffs and when we did, we were out in the first round. Why? Because the coach at that time didn't allow full contact in practice. There was no tackling. No real hitting and on game night it showed up. N
