Playoff era...I'd be running up the damn score too.

I guess what I meant to ask was: does it even matter what the media says? Do you really even care if your team runs up the score?

A&M also threw the ball on 4th down for a TD against Lamar when up 59-3 in the 4th with 5 minutes left. They then ran for a TD with a minute left when they got the ball back. Aggies like to pump up their stats so that three wins against Lamar, SMU, and Rice look amazing on paper.

Alabama ran 4 dives from the 10 yard line late in the game against Florida too.
Completely different situation. No SEC fan who's not a Gator fan wants to see Muschamp fired. In all of our vested interests to try to keep him employed...without losing to him...if that's possible.
