blowouts Stories - Bleed Cubbie Blue
Rick Reilly Is A Walking Amber Alert
And he's protecting your kids. Particularly the 17 year olds that are healthy, tall, and bad at sports. I stumbled across this Rick Reilly article on Inside Texas and I think it calls for discussion on a number of issues centered around fair play, basic consideration of others, competition, and...
Second best offense in the nation? Utes wreck Rams
I said in the preview I expected Utah to come out and dominate to the point where I predicted a 58-10 win. The Utes won 59-6 - putting together their best overall performance of the season. This offense is good. When they're clicking, I believe they are pretty much unstoppable. Yes, it's just CSU...
The rarity of a blowout conference loss could end when Utah moves to P-10
Remember how perplexed and emotionally wrecked many of us were when TCU rolled the Utes last November? I do. In fact, I'm not sure I am even over that loss yet. It was as humiliating as it was stunning. Stunning because it's just rare to experience that type of loss in conference play. It doesn't...
Mercy Rules and Blowouts
Team Canada and Team USA's women's hockey teams have been handing out blowouts to teams in the Olympics like they are free candy. Because of that, a lot of talk has arisen about whether blowouts hurt hockey tournaments or whether there should be a mercy rule introduced. With Team Canada winning...
UConn 52, URI 10: The less said about this one the better
Michael Smith rushes the ball. ... Wait, it's not a run? A pass? The hell's a pass? You mean an inside draw, right? It's pretty hard to come away from a 52-10 dismantling of a D-IAA team that used to be a rival (or so I've heard)...
Terps Get Blown Out Against Gonzaga
Really, it's difficult to complain too much. Gonzaga just ended up being too much for the team after the Michigan State game. The team had given too much mentally, emotionally, and physically in that game, and they just couldn't hold on. Gonzaga outplayed Maryland in this game, and if wasn't for a...
Thumbin' Through Michigan v. Illinois: Feel The Pain
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Thumbin' Through, I bring my Treo to every game and thumb out my thoughts as the game goes on. This is complete stream of consciousness. The idea is to put you right inside my head as the game goes on, play by play, Being John Malkovich style. Sometimes...
The Takeaway: Maine
Sure, Iowa just throttled a wildly overmatched Maine team, 46-3. But how much do we really know? What was really important about beating Maine? What does it all mean, Basil? The Takeaway has the answer. There is no answer at quarterback yet. Both quarterbacks looked decent at times and brutal at...
Derailed: Cubs 5, Nationals 13
Here's the best way to sum up today's 13-5 Cub loss to the Nationals: it should have kept raining, which it was for about an hour between 12 and 1 this afternoon, delaying the start of the game to 2:20. Then we would have been spared watching the Cubs quickly run off the rails -- all due to a...
Hello Soto
Raise your hand if you still think there's something wrong with Geovany Soto. Just as I thought -- no hands raised. Soto smashed two home runs last night. But look at this photo for people raising their hands for Soto for the right reason -- here's what our section looked like after the first...
