All the great quotes and stories of sport are about winning or losing. None of them are about the margin of victory. You learn more from getting blown out than you do many other activities in sports.
When UGA was getting blown out 28-0 in the Sugar, we learned that a Mark Richt team never gives up. When UT was getting blown out 41-7 in 2003 by UGA, we learn that a Fulmer team will quit when the going gets tough.
Does this sort of legislation stop at 50 points? Why not 40 or even 30 points? Who decides what is running it up vs. a blowout. I've seen fans defend a 70-0 score as not running it up, and then turn around and cry about a 51-7 score as running it up (I'm looking at you GT fans).
The story just shows how nancy sport is becoming. What's next? Will we add judges to sports and grade on form and degree of difficulty?
