He's tired of getting hit in the mouth.

We've really gone downhill the past 99 years.

We could beat UNC in 1916 but not today? :frown:

This game is always close. This is proof.

How did we beat Bama, UGA and Auburn, but then tied Washington and Lee? Was this the first trap game ever?

We beat NC State 128-0 in 1918. We should really celebrate that victory.

I know Cumberland was the blowout of blowouts, but the Defense was averaging 2.2 pts/game. Pretty good look. Certainly wasn't no TR coached D. Perhaps he could look at the stone carvings to get some pointers.

"In a way the game was revenge: the Cumberland baseball team had beaten Georgia Tech 22 to 0 in the spring of 1915. That must have smarted."

The article leaves out the fact that Cumberland's coach had stacked his team with pros he recruited out of Nashville to win this game and that is why Coach Heisman ran the score up.

I'm surprised the adminstration is recognizing this event. It doesn't live up to our Gold Standards.

You don't wanna talk öööö about the guy who invented GT butthurt. He might come back from the dead, come to your office and beat you over the head with your keyboard.
