    Just for fun

    We need a little fun don't we? Anybody know if we now hold the record for consecutive game overtime losses? I tried to google it, but had no success and that's about the extent of my internet search capabilities. Maybe someone who's very good at sports research could check it out.

    It couldn't be more than 3 could it?

    This season is a bust, so if we at least set a record that would be something.

    The good news is when you lose 4 games by a total of one point in regulation, you only have to improve a minuscule amount to have a very good record. Those of you thinking we are horrible and completely outmatched, keep that in mind. Until someone actually beats us in regulation I'm going to figure we aren't that far from a good team.

    Re: Just for fun

    I'm wondering if there has ever been an NCAA FB team that has played in three consecutive OT games.

      From the NCAA record book, Penn played 3 consecutive (but won one). Record for a season is Geargia Souther with 4


      MOST CONSECUTIVE OVERTIME GAMES
      PLAYED
      3—Penn, 2006 (Yale 17, Penn 14, Oct. 21; Brown 30, Penn
      27, Oct. 28; and Princeton 31, Penn 30, 2 ot, Nov. 4)

        It may be the moonshine and the beer, but this makes a lot of sense.

          I have had Panther football season tickets for 45 years. I may be wrong but I do not remember anytime we have played 3 overtime games in a row. I also am not sure when the overtime scenario was introduced in collegiate football.

            First used in NCAA football in the 1996 season. I guess the 3 consecutive OT games ties the NCAA record according to P_M's research. I know records are fun and all, but I really hope we don't set it outright in this case.

            How about a nice 10-point win in regulation next week.

                I thought Sports Network mentioned something about it last week, the 3 overtime thing. I might be imagining. It's all a blur now.

                  Well if those scores are correct it seems to me Penn did lose 3 consecutive and we've only tied that dubious record. Yeah, I agree, here's to not breaking it next week.

                  That last game is interesting, lost by one point in double OT. Somebody went for a 2 point conversion and either made it or missed it. My guess is Penn, tired of playing OT games and not wanting a third OT period, went for it and missed.

                    We won't be playing an overtime next week.

                      There used to be ties I think.

                        I think I figured it out.
                        Someone put a hex on the UNI football team, preventing them from beating any team with "South" in their name this season.

                        We have no such teams remaining on the regular season schedule. (now, if Missouri State had retained the "Southwest" part of their name, we'd probably lose. But they ditched that in 2005.)

                          Half full glass - the likelihood of David Johnson declaring for the NFL draft earlier, while previous slim, is now near non-existent, unless some 2005 type magic suddenly falls form the heavens.

                            Just a few thoughts about the overtime set up. Before there was overtime and if the game ended in a tie that is what you got, a tie on your record. Coaches would go for it at the end of a game and try to win to avoid the tie. Now it seems all coaches take a knee and decide to take their chances in overtime, which tends to be a crapshoot at best. One questionable holding penalty and you are possibly forced to kick the goal. Or one iffy pass interference call on a defense and you may be about giving the offense a touchdown. I guess I'd just like to see a little more urgency to go for a score in regulation and stay away from the overtime where a lot of times the best team doesn't win, but the luckiest does.

                              Bingo. Play regular football until one team ends up with the lead. Both teams get at least one possession.

                              Not that I think UNI got screwed in these overtimes. I just never have liked the rule in college.
