77-0 loss to Oklahoma in 1986. 55-0 loss to Miami in 1988. 1985 lost the home opener to Northwestern who was a joke at the time.

Yes, it felt like we would never win again. Then Larry Smith. Corby Jones. Brock Olivo. Justin Smith. Devin West.

And we went from there.

You would watch them play Midway Heights - Genco98 MU - 10/30 09:46:32

The same people that watched them before will still watch... - BandG MU - 10/30 08:43:48

Agreed - but attendance will suffer as more players sit out - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/30 08:57:00
