Not really. I was just eager to see how Highlands fans (including your adoptee, Stardust) would rationalize Mueller' decision to run up the score and risk injuries to Towles and the other Bluebirds starters by playing them the fourth quarter of a blowout win. The double standard is exactly what I expected.

I assume that the Highlands supporters who are not defending Mueller know good sportsmanship when the see it - and when they don't.

I kind of lost interest in the fourth quarter, so can someone tell me if I am correct. Wasn't the score 54-13 when the starters left the game? And the second/third stringers scored the rest (against JC's 1st string) and JC's third score against the second stringers? I think you are really trying to stretch it to say the score was run up. Now that I think about it, I think it was 60-13 and the running clock started when 2/3 stringers came in. Still think your grasping for straws. JC was not waving the white flag and still had all starters in and kicking onside kicks (which I have no problem with), so you do not let off the gas until the running clock, and no doubt about the out come.
