PISCATAWAY -- Who needs coupons when you have college football blowouts?

The Ruth's Chris Steak House in Ann Arbor, Mich. posted a promotion to its Facebook account Friday advertising that Sunday through Thursday for the rest of the season customers receive a percentage discount equal to that week's winning margin for Michigan football.

Well, it's already time to backtrack.

Michigan handed Rutgers the worst Big Ten loss in a century, 78-0, Saturday night in Piscataway, meaning that customers should be dining for 78 percent off the bill.

At a place like Ruth's Chris, the savings could amount to hundreds of dollars.

For example, a cowboy ribeye steaks costs $53 before you add a $19 shrimp cocktail appetizer, a $9.50 caesar salad, a $9.50 side of mashed potatoes and $11.50 brussells spouts, according to the online menu.

However, according to customers who claim to have called the restaurant and inquired about the promotion and subsequently left comments underneath the Facebook post, the discount will be capped at 50 percent.

Now you know what places have in mind when they say "terms and conditions apply." Still not a bad deal, though.

Meanwhile, at Rutgers, it could be a while before fans have an appetite again after a the worst shutout loss for the program since 1888. No, not 1988.

The program was nationally trending with more than 44,400 related Tweets late Saturday night. Here's a sampling of the reaction:
