    My grandson had his first game of the year last week. His team won by something like 42 - 0, with three TDs called back. He is 10 yrs old.

    Now, I'm anything but a trophy for everyone kind of person, but I must admit, I really like to see when both teams have at least a small taste of success. The lesson should be that if you work harder you prosper, and maybe the pain of such a loss will be what spurs the kids to try harder, but at this age I hate to see any of them give up.

    I guess I m getting soft in my old age

    Good thing she's short enough not to get a concussion from that trombone player behind her. :)

    I would be curious if the losing team would be able to learn from such a big loss and turn things around.

    You are correct, I had a 66 Galaxy with a 428 also a 74 Ford pu with a transplanted 460. They both would pass everything but a gas station but that pickup has lots of engine work done to it when I got it. It felt like it could jump a six rail fence from a start .

    I played one of those in school, and always pointed it down for that reason.

    I’m surprised the lead was allowed to get to that point. Don’t we have “slaughter” rules or something now?
