Cumberland:
Another Tennessee team established a record that will probably stand forever. On October 7, 1916, Lebanon's Cumberland University Bulldogs, under student coach and manager George E. Allen, played Georgia Tech, coached by John Heisman (for whom the Heisman Trophy is named). Cumberland lost to the Yellow Jackets 222-0. Georgia Tech went on to win the Southern Championship that year and the national championship in 1917. Cumberland University's loss stands as the greatest loss in college football history.
And the DC Don'ts ain't playing against a Coach Heisman!
Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything. Harry S. Truman

They had to catch the train back home. I kid you not.
If you're traveling southbound on I-75, you can get a glimpse of Cumberland's campus. It's on the left-hand side of the freeway.
I drive my poor wife to distraction with minutiae like this.
