It wasn't a sports game, it was a war crime, 222-0

Fascinating Video about the wild west of college football in the early 20th century, and how Georgia Tech unleashed on Cumberland College, the most lopsided result in college football history....

...in football history.... in sports history.... in the history of grown men in any competition ever.






-Tech never bothered to throw the ball, despite their HC having invented the forward pass.

-Coach Heisman made his players play a 30 minute scrimmage after the 222-0 game

-Cumberland football was immediately totally dissolved

I still say it is impossible and they didn't really score 222 points. Hell, I don't think they scored over 175.

They probably used deflated footballs, tbh.

The Georgia Tech kicker caught his own kick in the end zone for a touchdown. That's unreal.

To be far, it was kind of like 11 of us playing Alabama.

Cumberland wanted out of it but Heisman wouldn't let them because of the baseball game so they just found some guys.
