If you follow college football at all, you’ve probably heard of Georgia Tech’s 222-0 win over Cumberland College back in 1916. Heck, even if you don’t, you may have heard of it. Because that was just that crazy nuts.
Tech’s coach, John Heisman was born on October 23, 1869, some 150 years ago. Next time you’re getting an ass kicking, just be thankful John Heisman isn’t administering it.
I heard a story about this game. The Cumberland QB fumbled and the ball went near his RB. He started yelling “Pick it up! Pick it up!” and the RB, seeing the Tech players advancing, said, “Pick it up? Hell, I didn’t drop it.”.
