Biggest win in school history

[ZuluWarrior]

Im shocked the Miami Miracle didnt get a vote - it gets mine. The most amazing end to any football game ive ever seen, led to an undefeated regular season and i believe our first-ever Top 25 Division I-A ranking. It followed a huge win at Kentucky and was followed a few months later by a record Doyt crowd watching BG dump the Turdledo and a march down Wooster with the goal posts.

The 1921 Findlay game continues to make me mad. Carl Bachman missed three PAT's in that game!!! Special teams were terrible even 85 years ago!!!

Do you seriously have a box score from that game? I'd love to read an account.

Not to dig up a six-year-old thread, or that Schadenfreude has been seen around these parts for 5 1/2 of those years, but yes.... http://www.bgsusports.com/football/bgnews_findlay.gif

They lost the next game to Ashland 27-zip. I imagine good 'ol Earl Krieger took quite a beating on AZZ.com that day....

Good call there. BG finished the regular season at #19 as back then there was only a Top 20 for UPI and AP. I was fortunate enough to be at both the Miami and ut games that year. One of my fave teams ever despite what happened in the CA Bowl.

I still peek in here once in a while.

That box score is a nice find. Anyone else notice that the Falcons were throwing the ball during the the second half? Today, that would be pretty unsportsmanlike. But, back then, perhaps passing was considered so risky that it was a more gentlemanly way to finish a blow out.

A few years back, didn't the Falcons once broke into the 60s or 70s against Temple by running the ball on on fourth and goal from the 16? That's what I'd compare it to.

Also, anyone else notice that they only played 12 minute quarters during the second half. Interesting, that.

Hope everyone is well.

Someone's ears are burning!

Found this one in my files as well, a write up of the same game in the Sentinel-Tribune. A little tough to read, but not bad if you zoom in. http://www.bgsusports.com/football/bgfindlay3.pdf

Something about the line "a march down Wooster with the goal posts" gets a metaphysical response out of me. Primal instincts elevated.

Think the last time anyone even gave those posts hell was after the 2001 Toledo game.. Can anyone think of a more recent time?

The probably is, you can't even get near them now without being arrested.
