"SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE."

[jj]

This week's issue of SI has the following comment:

"New Mexico State's campus was littered last week with flyers urging female students to refrain from having sex with members of the football team-who had been outscored 184-47 en route to an 0-4 start-until the Aggies earned their first win. On Saturday they beat New Mexico 16-14." Wow!

Perhaps VU should follow NMS's lead. I was supportive until I was told that VU is a sex free campus. Oh well, the losing streak continues: Jacksonville 49,Valpo 7. Book it!

For those of you betting at home the over/under for this game is 33. Kidding of course. And no, there's no chance of winning.

If that's a list of consecutive losses...where is Columbia?

Looks like the list is Division I-A (FBS) - Columbia would be Division I-AA (FCS).

That's exactly what I meant. I should clarify better. Dooh!

*For the record, I picked 33pts, not based on a whim but that's the average margin of defeat so far this year.

For those concerend about some of the worst college football teams ever...

espn.go.com/page2/s/list/colfootball/teams/worst.html

Let's hope it doesn't get to that, but by the end of this year they'll have a 20 game losing streak AND have almost the worst offense and worst defense in all of D1 football. VU's getting close to being on that list if the losses continue to mount. I have no idea what the schedule for next year looks like, but this could be bad for awhile unless there's a true cupcake in the future.
