DIII team drops 201 on opponent - yes, 201

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2683783

Everything Lincoln threw up seemed to fall, as the Lions, ranked No. 11 nationally, set a Division III record for points in a 201-78 victory at Salem International, in Salem, W.Va. The scoreboard at the end of the game actually read: Lincoln 01, Marion 78, because it wasn't designed to go up to 200. Marion, it should be noted, had only six players in uniform.

Naturally, the link on ESPN.com does not include any quotes from the team that you know, gave up the 201 points and only had six guys. The story emphasizes how Lions always press, and that's their "style" and what not.

I dunno - I'm all for beating the crap out of your opponents (it is a game after all), but 201 points?
That seems just a wee bit excessive.

 

This sounds familiar.

 

The Basement is reporting that a game called basketball has been invented.

 

David Aldridge will have more on this story as it develops.
