Well, those wonderful Huskers took no prisoners again!  They demolished
Iowa State: 72-29.  Remember their Minnesota game: 84-13?  Seems as if
these Nebs want to have U.S. Olympic Women's Basketball Team scores!
Some of you justify running up the score out there by saying that nearly
all the time it happens because the powerhouse just can't stop scoring
since its fourth stringers are better than the down-and-out's first
stringers.  I still can't buy that premise.  A coach can have his team
use less potent plays.  As far as backups needing to strut their stuff,
a good coach can see their efforts in practice or by how they execute
whatever plays he calls.  Let's face it:  do you really need 70-90 points
to win convincingly?  Will you get that many more votes in the polls if
you win by 60 points instead of 30 points against a weak or average team?
