Dude, meltdown or a perfect excuse to show off?
You talked about that famous Georgia Tech 222 berland 0 game from 1916. Sometime tells me that is all ya know about the game, the score.
This is out of a book I own....STRANGE But True Football Stories.
The game was played on Oct 7th and berland was paid 500 bucks to play the game.
berland had been a powerhouse going undefeated from 1903-1905, They were the Southern Confremce champs. But by 1916 the coachs were roaming the campus trying to talk any big guy into playing football.
On the way to Georgia Tech they had a stop over in Atlanta, their coach tried to recruit some Vanderebilt players...ha~~~
berland showed up with 14 players.
GT scored 63 points in the first quarter. And another 63 in the second quarter then 54 in the third and 42 in the 4th.
They played two 12 .5 quarters and then two 10 minute quarters, just think if they had played 15 minute quarter, what...300-0?
NCAA records set that day...
Most points in a game
Most yards gained by one team...978
Most players scoring touchdowns....13
Mosr consecutive extra points kicked in one game...18
Everett Strupper a tailback scored seven TD's, and was headed for his eighth only to stop at the one and down the ball, yep...compassion.
The longest gain for berland was a 10 yard run by fullback A.L.McDonald.
Yep, depth.
