Let's take up a collection. If we mass enough donations, perhaps we can pay Cowherd to retire.

And by halftime everyone should have some playing time, and scored as well. When you get to 60-0 or 70-0 everyone should have already played and scored, then it's time to slow it down. But to push it to 100-0 is going too far and you're doing that for ego reasons.

Well you would hope that the coach put in the subs when they were up 30-0. If not, that's bad coaching.

I kinda get where you're coming from but you gotta put it into perspective of the players of the winning team and even the coach.

There could be girls on that team that got subbed in 2:47 into the game that had waited 2-3 years to play in a game some of them maybe seniors who might never get the chance again and you as the coach are going to look them in the eye and say "don't score"

@THSFootball4 You missed the point Colin was making. If you are ahead 88-0 or even 60-0 in a game, what are you teaching your players by continuing to score all the way to 100? There comes a point where if you know you're going to win why embarass the opposing team?

This is why i hate to listen to, and watch this guy. He is absolutely rediculous, none of these specific events even happened. He is overexaggerating big time, and he does not have a clue. The girls basketball one is something that never happened. I happened to be at the game and the Covanent coach (winning coach) was very classy he subbed 2:37 into the game. Not one girl ever trashed talked either way. Colin has no clue what he is talking about.

@hhh4evur I live in Dallas and know the Dallas team against this (I think it was a special Ed school) where they were 88-0 happened. The coach got called out and then said he would forfeit the win as long as it didn't count as a lose. Lol, that made it worse.
