Illinois Football has just suffered the worst loss in school history, losing 63-0 to Iowa at home this evening. I was watching a bit of the game when I saw this tweet roughly 30 minutes ago:

The worst loss in Illinois history was a 62-0 loss to Purdue in 1890, the very first season of Illini football.

Then, the score went final:

And that it. The worst loss in @IlliniFootball history.

Unforgivable.
