Updating the Aggies' company in frequent defeat
Checking in for our reasonably regular look at A&T’s company in frequent defeat throughout all four divisions and all 629 teams of NCAA football …
We find The Biggest Loser is still St. Anselm College of Manchester, N.H., a Division II institution with 27 consecutive defeats. The Hawks lost 52-6 at home to the Falcons of Bentley College this past week and play at American International on Saturday.
A&T is among three teams with 25 straight trips to the loss column. Division III Lewis & Clark College of Portland, Ore., which hasn’t won since 2004, absorbed a 39-0 defeat to the Lutes of Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., on Oct. 27. The Pioneers spared themselves the possibility of further defeat back in ’04 by cancelling the final five contests due to insufficient participation numbers. They host Willamette in their final home game on Saturday.
Oklahoma Panhandle State University (Division II) is coming off a 34-8 loss at Texas College in Tyler, Texas, but there is hope for these Aggies. Their next opponent, Southern Nazarene University of Bethany, Okla., is an NAIA school. It is known as the Crimson Storm, one of the better nicknames we’ve heard in a while.
Hiram College of Ohio has 24 straight defeats to its name. The D-III Terriers have been competitive, relatively speaking. Four of their defeats, the most recent of which was a 31-14 verdict to the Earlham College Quakers of Richmond, Ind., have been by fewer than 20 points this season. They host the Battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan this week.
