Poll: What kind of loss would you rather endure? 

Post#1 » by The Emcee » Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:33 am

We've had two pretty crazy games the last two nights, so I was wondering which kind of game you would rather be on the losing end of: a 40 point blowout, or a close game with a few questionable calls going against you?

Can't really say. Close loses are tougher, but being blown out by 40 means you totally suck.

I'd go with the refs calling bad plays since a 40 pt loss shows no effort by the players. Granted, it's tough to lose a game such as the GS game at the hands of the refs, but I'd definitely take that over a team completely giving up.

Few point/close call one easily.. It means we're still good and not humiliated..

no way you can choose a blowout! if its close no matter what it means you were in the game. being blown out means you don't deserve to play.
