Michigan's most famous rout was in 1991 and was a 4-0 series loss to the greatest basketball team ever assembled, after which the classless losers exhibited the ultimate lack of sportsmanship.

Yes, because MJ was known for being such a classy guy himself.  The Pistons sure got away with pushing the Bulls around far longer than any other NBA team.

For what it's worth Michael Jordan is by far the greatest NBA player I've ever seen.  That probably ought to say something from someone who is a life long Pistons fan.  Lebron James, Steph Curry and Kobe Bryant aren't on the same level as MJ was.
I respect the opinion that MJ is the GOAT basketball player; I do not respect the opinion that MJ is the GOAT team sport athlete. Brady is already past him and his career isn't even over.

Brady still has some work to do to surpass Gehrig (8 titles) & Joltin' Joe (9 titles).
Those two were playing against plumbers and electricians.

According to baseball-reference.com, Gehrig had "only" six WS titles ('27-'28, '32, '36-'38). DiMaggio did indeed have nine wins, which could have been 11 if the Yanks had beaten St. Louis in 1942 and if DiMaggio hadn't missed out on the Yanks' win in the '43 WS due to military service.

But they all still trail the all-time WS leader: Yogi Berra. 10 titles in a total of 14 appearances in the Fall Classic.

Big difference is that Gehrig did it with only 16 teams in MLB.  All but one of Brady's had 32 teams (the Texans hadn't debuted yet for his first one).
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

The record for most championships as a player in North American professional sports is held by Henri Richard (11 Stanley Cups) and Bill Russell (11 NBA championships). Of course, the NHL had six teams during Richard's era. I don't recall how many the NBA had, but Russell played during the era when the Celtics won eight straight championships (and 11 during his 13-year career).

Whatever that 106-0 nothing beating some high school team in California put on another team is getting is a lot news locally.

Ah, the typical outrage over sports teams playing sports. The only problem with running up the score is that you're probably risking injury to key players. If you can't handle losing, sometimes by a lot, then don't play.

I mean, the other team can try to stop it or try to field a competive team.

I have revived several old thread here in the last week. That's what happens when you sign on to a website "some number of years" after it started. (I don't know what that "some number" is, which is why I wrote it that way).

One thing I have become aware of in recent years is that a top college team (e.g., Penn State) will schedule a "tomato can" opponent as a home game. The "tomato can" opponent gets paid handsomely, and the top college team gets another home game, and the revenue that comes with it. I'm not sure why anyone bothers going to games like that, but I am aware that for many people this serves as a social outing. As far as the top team is concerned, these games don't help with strength of schedule (but I don't know if that even matters).

As an alumni of the University of Delaware, this has happened several times in the last few years. They lost at Pittsburgh 62-0 a few years ago (2014), and they lost at Penn State 63-7 this past Sept. 9. Penn State also beat Massachusetts 63-0 last weekend.

But in researching this just now, I saw that Pittsburgh escaped 17-14 against Delaware in 2019. I do not live in Delaware anymore and was not aware of that.

Bulls 96, Jazz 54 (Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals)

For Illinois I think it has to be Bears 73, (then) Redskins 0 in the 1940 NFL Championship game.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

Wisconsin 70, Nebraska 31 in the 2012 B1G championship game. Badgers were only 8-5 that year, without their starting QB, Bret Beilema had one foot out the door, and everyone picked Nebraska to win.

Bret Bielema was notorious for running up the score at Wisconsin. He didn't do it at Arkansas.

For my school's state, Indiana:

Purdue football upsets Ohio State in 2018 - Purdue 49, Ohio State 20 at Ross-Ade Stadium
Purdue football upsets Michigan State in 2021 - Purdue 40, Michigan State 29 at Ross-Ade Stadium (I stormed the field for that one!)

For my home state, New Jersey (this is why it hurts to be a Boiler fan):

16-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson upsets 1-seeded Purdue in the first round of 2023 March Madness
