Shooting rampages aside, I just want to let everyone know I still hate this school, and will not be wearing anything orange or being a fag and saying something queer like "we're all hokies today." Their football team has a reputation as one of the dirtiest and most un-sportsmanlike programs in the country, and I remember them blatantly running up the score against Pitt when I was a student (Mike Vick was their QB back then).
HAIL TO PITT!

I agree, they still suck

Not that I give a rat's ass about football, but isn't the measure of who won the game the team who scored the most points?
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but is it not true that in the case of a tiebreaker at the end of the season, one of the criteria after # of wins/losses is which team scored the most points?
I believe you actually are incorrect, SM, number of points scored in college football has nothing to do with it. Think that's the NFL you're thinking of, where the level of competition is a lot more even and it's harder to run up the score.
I'm not sure... Tiebreakers are rarely needed in the NFL. They go by the overall win/loss record, then the division, then conference, then heads-up,... (I could have those out of order.) Several steps before they get to using the points scored.
I never have figured out how they figure out who the champions are in college; something about a bunch of people voting on who's the best team, which goes to the rose bowl. But with as many colleges as there are and with fewer games played, the possibility for a tie based on record is much higher.
As far as runing up the score goes, I know it pisses you off when you're the receiver of it but it's done for a lot of reasons other than to kick someone when they're down. The more points the players score, the more attractive they are to pro teams. Colleges that win big and put their players in the pros can attract the better high-school talent down the road.
College football is a big business; it sux but that's the way it is.
