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?
