Here's the place to trot out any zany or unusual sports facts you know.

The fastest hat trick ever scored in hockey was scored by Bil Mosienko, playing for the Chicago Black Hawks.  He scored his three goals within 21 seconds.

The longest hockey game ever played featured the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons in 1936.  The game ran to the 16-minute mark of the sixth overtime, and was mercifully ended when Ed (Mud) Bruneteau, of the Red Wings, scored the only goal of the game.  The Montreal netminder thought the sun had risen.

Suffering for your beliefs is called faithfulness, making others suffer for your beliefs is called being a jerk.

His cross, like the ark in the wilderness, is the center around which his people are to encamp; so that they cannot separate into factions, or withdraw from each other, without retiring at the same time from the presence of the cross.

The Big Ten is better than the SEC.  That's a fact.

Vic Janowitz of Ohio State, who won the 1950 Heisman Trophy, kicked college football's most spectacular field goal in the famed Snow Bowl of 1950.  It was only a 27-yarder, but it was kicked through invisible goal posts into the teeth of a blizzard and full gale.

Teams have come back from 3-0 deficits to win playoff series twoic in hockey and once in baseball, but it has never happened in basketball.

The most lopsided game in the history of college football involved Georgia Tech and some team I cannot call to memory, but Georgia Tech won it by a score of 250-0.

It was a 222-0 victory over Cumberland in 1916.  John Heisman was the GT coach.  Some of the accounts say:
- Cumberland had a good football team in previous years, but dropped football in 1915.
- Cumberland had pounded GT in baseball, also coached by Heisman.
- There were no first downs.  Cumberland never earned one and GT only got touchdowns.
- The game ended after the third quarter.

In the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, the most phenomenal 2-point play in football history occurred.  The first half was all Boise State, but Oklahoma came roaring back in the 2nd half to actually take the lead, only to have Zabranski, the Boise State quarterback, engineer a come-from-behind touchdown play from a 4th-and 10 situation to tie the game and take it into overtime.  In the first overtime the teams exchanged scoring plays, leading to another tie and a second overtime. Oklahoma got the lead in the second overtime, but again with 4th and 10 facing him Zabranski pulled off an unbelievable first-down play to keep Boise State alive.  He threw for a touchdown on the next play, and then decided not to go for the tie to force another overtime, but went for two points.  Everyone in the stadium knew what he was going to do...the announcers in the booth, the crfowd in the stands, and surely, the whole Oklahoma team; but Zabranski took the snap, and in the blur that followed it's not clear (at least to me) where the ball went, except that it wound up in the hands of Johnson, the Boise State running back, who walsed into the endzone with nobody from either team anywhere near him.  The irony of it all is that the NFL absolutely snubbed Zabranski at draft time.

The most successful basketball team in history was the Edmonton Grads, a team of women who played between 1920 and 1940. Amazingly, they compiled a winning % well over .900 against the best women teams in North America. In all they lost only 20 odd games in all those years, a few of which were against men's teams.

I'd say today's cantankerous feminists have absolutely nothing to gripe about or to claim as original.  That basketball team, alog with Billie Jean King, said it all!
