Andre Ware didn't like the fact that Ohio State "ran up the score" on Northwestern, and apparently neither did Jim Tressel.Tressel's reaction to the final touchdown with maybe eight seconds left in the game was one of disgust, anger, and remorse.
Andre Ware of ESPN just used the opportunity to criticize the Buckeyes. If Ware disagrees with the plays, then he needs to step away from the booth and let me handle the color commentary. Besides, I actually have an education in broadcasting and can be objective since that's the ethical thing to do.
Anyhow, I don't see the need for the team to apologize for increasing the score. These guys play to win, and they need to score every once in a while to gain some confidence. They certainly did plenty of scoring Nov. 8 in their 45-10 rout of Northwestern.
You know, teams like Jokelahoma, Texas, USC, and most of the rest of the Big 12 love to run up the score. I also didn't hear Ware or Brent Musberger complaining when USC tried to run the score up on Ohio State.
I also heard silence from the rest of the college football world when Florida tallied the points unnecessarily on Georgia. People seem to forget that Tressel opted to run out the clock inside Michigan's ten yard line last year to preserve a 14-3 win.
Perhaps people are just hypocrites in general. I think that's the likelier case.
Maybe one day, college football personalities like Ware and Mark May will save us all the headaches and put corks in their mouths.
