I tend to dislike running up the score, I remember Spurrier deciding he had to "hang fifty" on the Bulldogs in Athens and it just feels wrong.

I always remember the 222-0 Ga Tech score over Cumberland College whenever this comes up.
In 1916 with John Heisman coaching.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

penguin, that was the highest scoring game of all time.....but I never knew Heisman coached it

Wait...

...football is that thing where a bunch of men in big paddy diaper-things run around with buckets on their head and throw some oblong object back and forth, and occasionally dance around like idiots when they throw it through something, right?

:-P

Nothing was sweeter than Spurrier running 60 on Tennessee back in the day

... sniff ... I miss the Spurrier Gators. It wasn't about winning, it was about winning by A LOT.

I say in big rivalries especially it's impossible to run it up too much. It's like when Woody Hayes went for 2 at the end of a old Michigan game even though the game was over and he had it won. When asked why he went for 2 he replied he went for 2 because 'there wasn't any way to go for 3.'

Thanks YWIW (for the info and the compliment

).

What margin is generally considered large enough in football that running up the score is frowned upon?

I don't have an absoulte answer for you on that.

It probably varies on the team and how much time is left.
