OT: ESPN Worst Blowouts in History

[HarvCrimYaleBlue]

The list is not complete but we have managed to snag a couple of the spots.

57. Football: Houston 95, SMU 21
Oct. 21, 1989: The Cougars were the top scoring team in Division I-A in 1989 and entered this game as a 58½-point favorite over a Mustangs team fresh off the NCAA death penalty and starting 17 freshmen. The Cougars compiled 1,021 yards of total offense and engineered 14 scoring drives -- four of which were 45 seconds or less. Andre Ware and David Klingler combined for 771 passing yards and 10 touchdown passes. Houston's poor mascot did 682 pushups to match the compounding scoreboard total.

56. Football: Rice 146, SMU 3
Nov. 17, 1916: The Mustangs must have felt good when they took a 3-0 lead against a stout Rice Institute squad. But the ensuing 146-0 run by the Owls probably took the wind out of their sails. This game marked the first of 90 meetings between the schools that went on to become rivals in the Southwest Conference, WAC and Conference USA.

Ouch, didn't remember about the Rice shellacking. Amazing you could even score that many points in a game back then.

Did the school charge you $25 to get your picture taken like UT did?
