UNLV’s 124-75 win over Central Arkansas looked lopsided, but it’s got nothing on these all-time blowouts:

College Football

222-0

Georgia Tech over Cumberland A student manager for Cumberland, which had discontinued football, rounded up enough students (mostly frat brothers) to battle John Heisman’s mighty 1916 Yellow Jackets. Very. Bad. Idea.

Girl’s Basketball

115-2

Walkerville High over Lakeshore Public Academy “We never gave up, but they were a lot better than we were,” said Lakeshore’s Melissa Hawley, who sank her team’s only bucket in this 2003 nailbiter in Michigan.

Women’s Hockey

82-0

Slovakia over Bulgaria If you spent three minutes in the restroom during this 2008 Olympic qualifying game, you missed approximately 4.1 goals.

NFL

73-0

Bears over Redskins After Washington beat Chicago 7-3 three weeks before this 1940 NFL Championship game, Redskins owner George Preston Marshall reportedly called the Bears “crybabies and quitters.” Who’s cryin’ now, George?
