Quote from: NEPAFAN on October 09, 2025, 08:15:50 AMYeah no slight to Lynchburg. I am just curious when the last time Messiah had a season like this.

5-7-1 in 1976.
5-6-0 in 1970.
1-10-0 in 1969.

1967 and 68 were about the same. That's as far back as the program history on the website goes.

If you are looking for the last 7 loss season, assuming they don't lose again, 1993 was 15-7-1.

So far this season and last they've lost 13x. That's more than any 2 year stretch since 79 and 80, when they lost 13 over 2 full seasons. Something tells me this won't be their last loss this year, so that's going to be surpassed.

For Messiah, this is a calamitously bad year, on the heels of a poor year, for them, last year. And I say for them because they still won their conference and made the second round of the tournament. Lots of teams in D3 would consider that a very good season. But for Messiah? Not great. And following it with this dog... well those 23 of 24 years with 18 wins or more is falling into the rearview.

The program has not had a season under .500 since 1976. 1977 was the last year without double digit wins (8-3-2).

Thank you for taking the time to put this into a post!

You would have had more connection with the Bessoir era alumni that is for sure. Very little engagement between Bess's players and this Coach and more recent alumni.

Why did he retire weeks before the season?

Look who is back...

didn't there used to be more of a messiah contingent here?

hmm maybe I should do some research ahead of time?

I mean video, and color video no less from the 1940s?! unreal!

Ah  I didnt think to look after they started playing regular seasons games.
Thanks again!

Awesome news! Where do you see the game at Pitt being published?

Dickinson, get your camera operator in order. Missed the goal just now. At least it wasn't behind a pay wall!

Messiah is 0-3, not sure if that takes anything away from Scranton's win. any win at Messiah is good in my book..
