Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

What this coach did was terrible. He might not have deserved to get fired but he should have at least felt bad about it.
Yes, exactly. Fucking bingo.
:cry:
So the bad team is setting up a situation in which they waste everyone's time and then make everyone else feel like dicks
I agree them cheering and egging on the 100 point spread was prolly a little much
as long as he let all the kids on his team play I have no problem with it
You didn't help yourself by agreeing with him. I think you missed the point of that.
There shouldn't be any secret rules.

But there always are. My mother, for instance, has tons of secret rules. I learn new ones all the time.
But see its ok because the other team should know you don't win win, you just win. And don't cheer when you are winning that is reserved for when the point score is closer. No smirking either.
We don't know for sure why the coach was fired. What we do know is the girls who lost, and their coach, didn't complain. It was the reaction to the news story that got the ball rolling. Several of the girls on the losing side were playing in their first game. Likely their only game.
Anyway, there's a difference between running up the score, having some class, and just giving up. Jesus Christ, you guys act like there's no middle ground. Once the game was at 59-0 at half time, they should have let up the pressure, but the crowd was pushing them to score 100 points. I've seen NHL games that are blowouts where the winning team stops pushing and that's professional hockey, not an amateur high school league. It IS fucking classless to run up the score on a team that's been beaten already.
They live in Dallas. They're all winners.

Why?
edit: Darnit I said I was done. No seriously. I'm done. You don't even have to answer that.
Edit: *cough* Well don't I feel like an ass now...

Because its less insulting for the other team to treat them like children and not play. I mean I know when I'm down big the other team handing me the ball or just passing it around certainly helps out my self esteem.

Gosh it's like some of you have never been on the recieving end of a solid trouncing before.

hahaha
Well I still have about half the Wrymrest quests. Right now I'm going to try to solo Stratholme, so I've been collecting jungle remedies. You can tag along if you can cure diseases
After the game, the first thing our coach did was walk over to the other coach and apologize to him for that last TD. He felt bad because he didn't tell our guys to take a knee should they have a chance to pick up the ball.
I was man, my little league team played great in our league got into the state "playoffs" and lost 18-0. Hell they were up 10 and beaned our best hitter to take him out of the game.
I am so witty.
@James: I dunno, I'm thinking I might try to get some of my own quests done today.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
Indeed. In pro-sports winning matters a lot, but in amateur sports the objective is for everyone to have fun and get better through competition, and no one is doing either of those things when one team utterly destroys the other. Except anyone on the first team who is a total cock, but then maybe they should switch to Counterstrike or something.

That Roger Rabbit game for the NES.
I don't think I ever even got what I was supposed to DO. I managed to throw a rose to Jessica Rabbit and drive into toon town. That's about it.
...you don't think that's a douchebag move?
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
It shows a lack of respect for the opposing team. It's poor sportsmanship. Fuck, Canada's womens hockey team got demonized by the press at the last winter Olympics because of a blow out in the first round. No one is bitching that the weaker team lost, or was kept scoreless. They're bitching because the other team wasn't trying to win, since they'd already accomplished that, but were trying to show just how much better than the other team they were. It was intentional humiliation.
I can run it with you later if you want.
Disease cleansing totem is pretty nifty.
He was kind of a dick so it didn't bother me he got hurt. Though I did feel a little bad when his abusive father was yelling at him after the game. Ahh the memories.
That car was so awesome
All I remember was giving Jessica a rose and Valentine's punching animation was ridiculous.
