If you’re like me and have been avoiding work like the plague during afternoon World Cup matches, you saw the Germans beat Brazil like a drum yesterday. I’m always highly entertained when Twitter erupts at the expense of a losing team, and yesterday didn’t disappoint. Yellow Jacket Nation trolled the host country hard, comparing the ass-kicking to Tech’s 222-0 triumph over Cumberland College in 1916. After the jump, I’ll give you some of the best from Twitter and provide my thoughts on the biggest beat-down in college football history.

With the score at 5-0 in the first half, Tech Assistant AD Dean Buchan’s math skills showed just how impressive Tech’s blowout was:

Germany needs to score 217 more goals to tie #GaTech's win over Cumberland in 1916. — Dean Buchan (@DeanBuchan) July 8, 2014

As the onslaught continued, the Twitterverse was flooded by more of the same:

At this rate, 222-0 over Cumberland is in jeopardy. — Mike DeGeorge (@MikeDeGeorge) July 8, 2014

Don't think there is any way Cumberland can come back against Germany today — Keith Niebuhr (@Keith247Sports) July 8, 2014

It is official. Germany is to Brazil as Tech is to Cumberland. #WorldCup2014 #GERvsBRA — Tonia Wood (@WoodTonia) July 8, 2014

Finally, Brazil scored in the 90th minute, and @sportsbroad reminded us that this wouldn’t fly on the Flats:

John Heisman never would've let that happen. RT @PaulMyerberg: This is like Cumberland kicking a late field goal to make it 222-3. — sportsbroad (@sportsbroad) July 8, 2014

Watching Brazil play Jay Z to Germany’s Solange reminded Tech fans of the single most badass claim that we can make as Yellow Jackets. We own the most lopsided victory in college football history, a record that will not likely be broken in our lifetime. As dominant as Ze Germans were yesterday, their performance doesn’t hold a candle to our 222 point thrashing of Cumberland. Sure, the game was almost 100 years ago against a team that discontinued its football program before the season, but that doesn’t diminish our privilege as Tech fans to boastfully claim that no other team in history has laid a smackdown quite like our alma mater. So next time you’re forced to defend our five straight losses to Georgia by bragging to a Bulldwag fan, “We have more national championships than you” and “Calvin broke the Madden curse,” don’t forget to mention that Georgia Tech holds the baddest record in the books.
