Apparently, 60+ for 5 in a row has been done before

By Tulsa, in 1919.

Nice to keep it in the state.

Interestingly enough, Tulsa's string was bookended by a beating of OU and a tie with aggie. That same year they beat OBU 152-0. How does THAT happen?

Why no mention of this?

[Rogue]

It's a D-1 (FBS) record.
Tulsa wasn't D-1 then.

[OUHOMER]

It was mentioned last night. It was shown on a stat as well during the game

This was back when men were men, not everyone got trophies, and you just played as hard as you could from start to finish. :D

I saw it in the AP write up of the game as well. The problem is that Tulsa wasn't a D1 (equivalent) team in 1919. They played in the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference. Here's their schedule:

Sept. 27 Oklahoma Baptist* W 155-0 McNulty Park
Oct. 4 East Central (OK)* W 60-0 McNulty Park
Oct. 11 @ Oklahoma* W 27-0 Norman, OK
Oct. 18 Central State (OK)* W 67-6 McNulty Park
Oct. 25 NW Oklahoma* W 75-0 McNulty Park
Nov. 1 @ Arkansas W 63-7 Fayetteville, AR
Nov. 8 Trinity University W 70-0 McNulty Park
Nov. 15 Burleson College W 70-7 McNulty Park
Nov. 21 @ Oklahoma State* T 7-7 Stillwater, OK

Interesting that Tulsa's official records (http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/tuls/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/08-mediaguide-section7b.pdf) include Oklahoma as a member of the OCC when they were actually in the SWC at the time (as was Stoolwater A&M, see: http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Oklahoma.htm#1919). I'm guessing the OCC was more of an unofficial conglomeration of teams that allowed for concurrent memberships.

The other thing to consider WRT the scoring records is to examine the schedules of Minnesota and Harvard, who also get some credit for most points scored...

Minnesota, 1904: http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Minnesota.htm#1904

The Gophers have a high school and six non-D1 teams on their schedule. It's actually two high schools, as Shattuck is a prep school in Fairibault, MN.

Harvard, 1886: http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Harvard.htm#1886

The Crimson played 14 games, including two against 0-9 Tufts and three against 2-6-1 M.I.T., along with three non-D1 games (including one against Harvard alumni). Yeah, this is legit. :rolleyes:

I'm actually with the ABC/ESPN idiots on this. Defining the record in terms of "the modern era" covers up the BS cleanly and in a generally accepted fashion.

[OU_Sooners75]

Well, the NCAA record books say that OU now holds the record for most points scored in a season...however, there are two other teams dating back as far as the late 1880s that says they have more points.
