(Yahoo)--There's no shame in losing to a highly touted opponent, even in being blown out by an overpowering foe. Yet one Houston area school is taking that mantra to a new level, celebrating a 32-point loss simply because it held its opponent under 100 points. According to the Houston Chronicle, the Lions -- again ranked among the nation's best -- rested their starters throughout a fourth quarter in which Chavez didn't even attempt to score, instead passing the ball around to run out the clock before Yates could reach the century mark. "We've never had a team score 100 on us," Chavez coach Kevin Pullum told the Chronicle. "We knew that if we couldn't beat Yates we could beat them a second way, and that is to not let them score 100 points.
Congrats on not giving up 100 points. What an accomplishment. O yea, and congrat-u-fucking-lations on the loss too. Don't give me this "moral victory" bullshit either. The coach had them bleed the clock like little pussies just so they didn't get triple digits put on them. They didn't even play real basketball. So you didn't give up 100, big deal. Guess who else didn't give up a hundo? The team that just rocked you 97-65 that's who! This coach should be fired on the spot for his "second way to win" comment. Are you shitting me??!! There is one way to win in sports, outscore the other fucking team. I'm also tired of all this "play not to lose by a ton" garbage. Sports is played to win. End of story. I'll give a hell of a lot more respect to a team that goes for the win but loses by 100 than the team that just decides it's best to lose by the least amount possible. That's the definition of a loser.
