I’m just glad they didn’t choose the 1979 Cotton Bowl.

Did they list Major Applewhite’s good-bye gift to Coog Nation, the 70-14 loss to Army?

Yeah that was a painful loss
That was a disaster not a loss to Army.
My wife and I attended the second worse loss in College Football history.
Cougars 100 Tulsa 6.

I don’t think Cumberland has ever gotten over that 222-0 loss to Georgia Tech back in 1916.

Didn’t they drop football a few seasons after that?
Holovak never wanted to say much on the record. He knew better. A better personnel GM than a full GM. Floyd Reese, he knew where his paystub came from.
That game was revenge for Georgia Tech losing a baseball series to Cumberland earlier. Geo. Tech coach Heisman had gotten into an argument with some writer over the importance of ‘margin of victory’ in a game, and decided to make an example of Cumberland to prove his point.
He was saying just because Harvard beat some team by a lopsided margin it didn’t mean they were better. He said he could beat his next opponent by 200 points if he wanted to. The reporter basically said that was BS, so he went out and proved it. I had an NCAA records book and that was in it.

Don’t forget Deontay Greenberry. He did a lot to assist in that comeback.
