didn't we beat them or tie them the year after they beat another team by over 200 points??

Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916 I think.

man, talk about depressing ways to lose.. I'll take a 57 yard field goal to beat you over dropping 222 points to your competition.. Imagine practice the next Monday after that game?

It's unreal.

Do you really think a team that looses 222-0 actually practices?

LOL, very good point. Doubt their film sessions in 1916 were all that involved either..

Cumberland had dropped football, but was forced to honor their contract to play GT by then Coach John Heisman

I like the fact that this series has a deep history. Probably one of the better, long-term relationships with ACC roots other than ND. Football has such a rich tradition at Pitt and it's nice to see the program's revival starting to happen.

Plus I think that Heisman piled up the score because a year or two before Cumberland piled up the score in baseball against Tech, seems I've heard that story somewhere. Payback!

If I am losing by 200 points, im taking some cheap shots.. I am not talking about late hits but ridiculous cheap shots out there. Pre snap dives at knees, punches to groin, take out a cheerleader or two, real old testament stuff.. What else do you have to lose?
