Great video, The backstory leading up to this game is freaking insane. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

Cumberland got screwed on a couple bad calls that turned momentum but no replay.

LoL. Would this be a good time to mention my kid goes to school with the great grandson of the first professional football player from like 1925 or something?

I remember reading about this when I was a kid in elementary school, this story and a story about a 'wrong way runner' made an impression.

Thanks for posting.

I was motivated to find the 'wrong way runner' story.

I'm assuming the Cumberland board was filled with negativity that day

I see Georgia Tech called the dogs off in the 4th quarter. Must not have a killer instinct.
