Secure in the knowledge that someone, somewhere else, had a much worse day...
From today's Quotes of the Day:
On this day in 1915 Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland College in a football game with the record score of 222-0. It was the highest number of points ever scored by one team in collegiate football, the most lopsided score, and the fewest first downs. Cumberland was never able to make first down, and Georgia Tech scored before they needed one every time. Cumberland had actually canceled their football program and forgot to tell Tech and was forced to pick up a team in a hurry. It also didn't help that Georgia Tech's coach was John Heisman -- yes, that Heisman.
