Biggest Blowouts in USA Sports Quiz

Answer: Chicago Bears

The other all joined the NFL in the 1970 merger. The Bears won the West Division and went only 8-3 in the season. One of those losses was at the hands of the East Division champion Redskins in week 9, 7-3. The Redskins went 9-2 in the season. In the championship game, the Bears would come back in a big way by leading 21-0 by the end of the first quarter.

By the end of the third quarter it was 54-0, and the Bears didn't stop there. Sid Luckman led the Bears to the win.

Answer: Tiger Woods

Pebble Beach had never seen a blowout like this one on the golf course. Woods had a one stroke lead at the end of the first round, a six stroke lead after two, six after three, then won it by 15 strokes. Tigers' rounds were 65-69-71-67=272. He finished 12-under in the Open. Ernie Els from South Africa was the runner-up, but finished at +3.

Answer: Secretariat

Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown, and the Preakness which is the second leg. In a small field of horses, Sham seemed to be Secretariat's only competition, finishing second both at the Derby and the Preakness. Secretariat broke the previous record of Count Fleet, who won the 1942 Belmont Stakes by 25 lengths.

Answer: Cumberland College

The Georgia Tech Engineers literally ran all over Tennessee's Cumberland College with 1650 rushing yards in the game. Georgia Tech never even attempted a pass in the game, and all their 32 touchdowns were offensive and on the ground. They also intercepted six Cumberland passes. The Bulldogs were kept from getting even one first down in the entire game.

Answer: Cleveland Cavaliers

The game occurred on December 17 with the 68-point victory. The Cavs embarrassed the Heat with only two Miami players scoring in double-figures. Steve Smith had 15 while Kevin Edwards scored 10. Cleveland had an amazing eight players score in double-figures, with John Battle leading the Cavaliers with 18.

Answer: Texas Rangers

Of the others, only the Angels were in the AL Western Division. The game was played on August 22. At the end of the third inning, the Orioles seemed in control by having a 3-0 lead, then everything broke loose. The Rangers scored five runs in the fourth inning, nine in the sixth, 10 in the eighth, and another six in the ninth. Texas banged out 29 hits in the game.

The winning pitcher was Kason Gabbard, while Daniel Cabrera took the loss. The Orioles finished the season at 69-93, 27 games back of the AL Eastern Division Champion Red Sox.

Answer: New York Rangers

On January 23, the Red Wings blew out the Rangers 15-0. The Rangers finished at a dismal 6-39-5 season. The Red Wings finished the season at 26-18-6, a second place finish to the Canadiens, and lost in the semi-finals to the Chicago Black Hawks. The Canadiens defeated the Maple Leafs in their semi-final game, then took the cup with a victory over the Black Hawks.

Answer: The Covenant School

The Dallas Christian high school played Dallas Academy, a school for students with learning disabilities. Dallas Academy had only 20 students in the student body and had eight of those players on the court. The halftime score was 59-0, and more than upset the parents on both sides of the court. The game grew to national attention for running up the score.

Answer: Loyola University Chicago

The Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles was on the losing end of this embarrassment. Loyola went on to win the national title against the University of Cincinnati, 60-58. Loyola was coached by George Ireland.

Answer: Louisville Colonels

The other teams carried their franchises with the National League throughout the 20th century. The Colts (later Cubs) were led by player-manager Cap Anson and pitcher Clark Griffith. The Colonels experienced financial problems in the latter portion of the 1890s, and closed their doors after the 1899 season.

Some of their great players, including Honus Wagner, jumped ship to join the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates, never winning a pennant before, finished second in 1900, then won three consecutive NL pennants from 1901-1903.
