Would you rather have a blowout or a close win?

Depends on the sport, importance of the game (i.e. playoffs versus mid-season), the opponent, etc.

since this is in the football forum.... you should know we are talking about women's softball... DUH

Blowout. NAU likes to choke away close games.

Generally speaking, close wins are funner.

I never pay attention to the forum....i take after spandexpanos.

For my team, I always prefer blowouts.

for my team i'll take a win anyway i can get it. a blow out would make me giddy for sure

Damn, I read it as above. Was an easy choice.

89: Wrong forum for that sentiment.

I find I gotta agree with TJ if my team's involved. If it's two teams I have no affiliation with, screw the blowout (unless someone like the Yankees are on the wrong end, of course). I'm not a fan of running up the score unless the opponent is Tokay High, UCFE, the SF 49ers, or the SF Giants. Running up the score usually comes back to bite you in the rear sooner or later. But there are certain mismatches where it's probably going to happen no matter what (i.e. you scheduled a D-III or the opposing QB goes down and the backup was so lazy he didn't even bother to look at the game plan like Billy Joe Hobert). Recognizing that there's a fundamental difference between a set-up blowout and an intentional one, in general, you take the W however you get it, like TJ said. This guy has more upstairs than most of us here.

Were you at the SIU and UNI games in 2003?

And your avatar is not a caucasian ass.

Closer games are much more exciting to watch, Weber's last year 4 overtime game vs UNC was a lot of fun, both teams played like complete crap, but the game came down to the wire.

Blowouts are satisfying, you leave the Stadium happy, but blowouts usually tend to get boring come late 3rd Qrt into the 4th when your team stops trying to score and just runs the clock

I whomp, you whomp, he whomps, we ALL FUCKING WHOMP!

I'm out.

I felt happier at the end of the SDSU playoff win than I did the SFA playoff win. Also enjoyed the App game more than the SFA game.

So I say close games are more fun.

Close in general - but there are times when a blowout is just so viscerally satisfying.

for example - at this point, I'd just as soon watch the Twins rip off a three game LDS sweep of the yankees 10-0 each night... it would be cathartic to just let it all out in one major ass kicking.

i actually feel that way about NDSU/UNI... I would love to see the Bison just dismember them 42-0 or something

Feel the same way about the Scats...tight games are fun win or lose, but it never gets old watching those pricks walk out of Wa-Griz with their heads down after a smack-down.

I will keep the comment ,that we all know is coming, to myself.

Good point. Hard fought, close games are great to watch, especially if your team comes out on top (see 2010 EWU ), but a blowout against an opponent that was supposed to be evenly matched or even favored is definitely pleasing. I'm sure Bobscat fans were pissing their pants happy last year with their 30-7 ass kicking of EWU, especially since they had lost 7 straight to us prior. I would thoroughly enjoy returning the favor this year and watching them leaving Cheney the same color as our field. And although not a blowout, the 34-20 win over the Griz in Missoula in 2005 was pretty awesome.

I just realized this is in the foorball forum. Sorry. My mind was somewhere else.


Carry on.

Funner.
