I agree with Ron.  (I, too, happen to be an Oklahoma football fan, even
though my hometown is near St. Louis)  The games that I have seen where
OU has run up the score was NOT caused by Barry (Switzer) wanting a lop-sided
victory.  They were caused by the depth that OU possessed at that time.  I
mean, when you have a 4th string that can outplay your opponent's 1st string,
what can you say?  (I would like to see an Oklahoma vs. Northwestern football
game - would be interesting).   AND, a lot of the players that play the last
part of such games are freshmen/sophomores who do not see much playing time
(and would like nothing better that to score a touchdown).  So, they go out
on that field to play.  And score.  Regardless of the current score of the
game.  Like Ron said, what is the coach supposed to say to them?  Don't try?
Come on.  Be real.

p.s.	too bad Mizzou didn't beat Nebraska.  I would have liked to see that.
