Longest Winning Streak Against A Rival?

[Woof]

The Wofford v. Citadel game is Saturday and with the way we are playing now, our 10 year win streak against the Bellhops is in serious jeopardy....but it got me wondering: which FCS team has the longest active winning streak against one of their big rivals ?

This should be fun.xpopcornx

[89Hen]

17 current games vs West Chester.

Hey, our AD said they're a rival. :p

[Dukie95]

The CAA says Towson's our rival.

[appirishmen]

ASU has beaten Western Carolina, what.....that past 20-30 years. i do not know the number but i know its a lot. And i do not think that Elon has beat us the past 5 years or so.

We lost in '04. :(

If we finish 7-4 (not likely but possible) and miss the playoffs to a 7-4 at-large with 7 D-I wins (very possible to see a 7-4 at-large with the way this season is panning out), that contract needs to be terminated within 24 hours.

[ashram]

Not sure if anyone would call this a rivalry, but Furman has a 15-game win streak going against UTC.

[813Jag]

you had to say active. xlolx I was gonna brag on our old streak against Grambling. xlolx

[mtgrizzly]

16 in a row against the Cats from 1986-2001, snapped in 02 remember it all to well unfortunately. I remember walking out of Wa Griz and seeing little kids crying and it came to me that these kids had never seen the GRIZ lose to the Cats.

Well we have now started a new streak up to 3 and it will be at 4 after this year

GO GRIZ

[Biff]

We beat Furman 7 in a row in the 50's

We beat Wofford 15 in a row between 1959 - 1990.

The best we did against VMI was 5 in a row twice with a 4 game winning streak in place right now.

We have been back an forth on the rest, mostly losing though.

[Woof]

Remember, the post is looking for ACTIVE streaks, not historical. xscanx

History is all The Citadel has any more, give us a break.

... I posted the active VMI streak.

[appirishmen]

ahhh. never mind. but we do have a 6 game streak vs Elon. xnodx lets hope to make it 7 this year!xnodxxnodx:(xnodx

Don't forget, you have 1 in a row over the Furplesxthumbsupx

[McNeese75]

We lost all our streaks in 2004 xmadx

[jstate83]

JSU just completed 15 years in present run over Valley.
This streak started in 1995.
The longest streak was the first 28 years in a row over Valley that ended in 1984 with Jerry Rice and Willie Totten.


Overall JSU record against Valley.
49-5-2

[grizband]

Montana is currently 15-0 against Sacramento State.

xlolx my dad played at valley in the 60's he said y'all always did them in. xlolx

[Biff]

I guess I was thinking of more than one win to be a streak.

[Woof]

I guess I was thinking of more than one win to be a streak.

Like you said, you have to work with you've got.

[jstate83]

xlolx my dad played at valley in the 60's he said y'all always did them in. xlolx

Even when everybody in FCS kicked our butt's during the Bell years, we still beat valley.
We even took Totten/Rice to the brink when Coach Archie Coolie introduced the 1st version of the West Coast Offense to football, scoring 60 plus point's a game at Valley.
They beat us 49-32 in a shootout because in the end, RICE was RICE before the national stage caught up to him.
Valley fans partied a full week, until our next game in jackson after that 1st win.xlolx

Got so bad in the late 1970's, the game had to be played in Jackson every year because of the crowd, bad blood, and fighting that would break out in Valley's little stadium.

[UNH Fanboi]

I think I heard somewhere that UNH has never beat W&M. We're not really rivals and haven't played all that many times, but an interesting stat nevertheless if true.

[gophoenix]

ahhh. never mind. but we do have a 6 game streak vs Elon. xnodx lets hope to make it 7 this year!xnodxxnodx:(xnodx

Longer than that. More like 14 I think.

But, Is it really a rival? Western vs App is a rivalry. The Citadel vs VMI is a rivalry. .... A&T vs Elon was a rivalry until the A&T admins killed it.

[ValleyChamp]

UNI going for 9 in a row this week over YSU.

[whoanellie]

i witnessed a 23 year losing streak being broken when Tulane beat an Orange Bowl Bound LSU team way way back in 1973.... it was incredible in the old Sugarbowl stadium

[appstate38]

I believe with Saturday's win we now have 5 straight against the Paladins! We played them twice in 05 remember before I get flamed!

[MSU_77]

I believe McNeese has beaten NW(La) State at home 11 times in a row, going back to 1988, and the current winning streak is five games, but the overall record against them during that period is only 15-6. As someone mentioned, almost all of McNeese's conference winning streaks were broken in the 4-7 2004 season.

[Silenoz]

I think I heard somewhere that UNH has never beat W&M. We're not really rivals and haven't played all that many times, but an interesting stat nevertheless if true.
UNH beat W&M 31-19 in 1998

edit: UNH won in 1997 too

[iceman4221]

xnodx SC State Bulldogs has a 7, count it SEVEN consecutive game winning streak over FAMU Rattlers!!! xnodx

[ToTheLeft]

Well, if the entire Big South is our rival, we have a 14 game winning streak going.

App with 17 straight over the SoCon, and SCSU with 16 straight over the MEAC.

[Go...gate]

Holy Cross won 14 straight against Colgate, 1983-96.

Yale won 14 straight against Princeton, 1967-80.

[Thumper 76]

We just broke our streak of losing at NDSU in Fargo after 40 years. We haven't lost to the Bison at home in CAS since the turn of the millenium.

[OL FU]

We are 2-0 against Delaware and that's a 20 year period with no wins for the Hens:D

[Biff]

We are 2-0 against Delaware and that's a 20 year period with no wins for the Hens:D

If we are going there ... we are 1-0 versus Arkansas and Hofstra.

Wait, I take that back, I don't want to hear the App St vs. Michigan record

[bostonspider]

Richmond has 8 straight versus VMI, and 18 out of the last 20 against the Keydets.

Also, and more importantly 4 straight versus W&M. Always have to beat the Tribe, so I am hoping the Spiders make it 5 in a row in a few weeks...

[UNH Fanboi]

UNH beat W&M 31-19 in 1998

edit: UNH won in 1997 too

Thanks. Where do you look stuff like that up? ESPN only goes back to 2002.

xthumbsupx I remember what losing streaks are to NDSU. UND had a 12 year losing to them from 1981-1992.

[darell1976]

We are currently 2-0 all time vs Cal Poly!!!

[txst80]

We were 12-0 all-time against Southeastern Louisiana until the epic meltdown a few weeks ago

PS, I think we are 20-0 in our last 20 games against VMI. Too bad we didn't play them this year:o

But, Is it really a rival? Western vs App is a rivalry. The Citadel vs VMI is a rivalry. .... A&T vs Elon was a rivalry until the A&T admins killed it.

i call app vs. elon a better rivalry. to be a rivalry, both have to have a chance to win.... and well..... lets say the WCU one hasnt been that grate for them.

Im most impressed with the 12 in a row over NAU. Souers wants this game bad and hasn't won it yet.

That game where you guys squeaked by them in overtime must have about killed him. I can't believe you won that... I thought they had it in the bag once it went to OT in Flagstaff.

Well we have now started a new streak up to 3 and it will be at 4 after this year

GO GRIZ

Couple corrections for you. One, I'm not sure that the recent streak is the longest... I think you had a longer one way back in the day. Two, the brawl is in Bozo this year... I wouldn't call it an automatic W for your griz just yet... xnodx

[Aho_Old_Guy]

Appalachian has not lost to Wake in 8 years ...
















* (of course, they are too chicken to schedule us anymore!)

[TheValleyRaider]

We lost our biggest recent streaks in 2006

We had runs of 10 vs. Cornell and Lafayette broken that year

Currently, our longest winning streak is 7 vs. Georgetown, at least of opponents we've played recently

We once had a 10-game streak against Syracuse (1928-37) and 20 in a row vs. St. Lawrence (games played between 1894 and 1942). SLU only scored 12 total points over those 20 games

[SU Jag]

1.Tennessee State has won 7 in a row over Jackson State in the Southern Heritage Classic.

2. Florida A&M has won 8 in a row over Tennessee State in the Atlanta Football Classic

3. Alabama A&M has won 5 in a row over Alabama State in the Magic City Classic.

i call app vs. elon a better rivalry. to be a rivalry, both have to have a chance to win.... and well..... lets say the WCU one hasnt been that grate for them.

Uh....WCU last beat us in 2004. Elon hasn't beaten us since 1965 and since joining the SoCon in 2003, only the last two games have been competitive.

[GeauxLions94]

We were 12-0 all-time against Southeastern Louisiana until an epic comeback by the Lions a few weeks ago

Fix it for you xthumbsupx

Lafayette has faced Columbia 41 times since 1889. xreadx Over that 120-year span, the Lions have yet to win when the game is played in Easton (although they've come very, very close). xoopsx I'd say the Lions are due one at some point here - which is why this game always give me the jitters. xconfusedx

We have an 18 year winning streak over South Carolina.

Just call in to any Gamecoot football radio show, say "38-35!" and they'll get pissed because they'll know exactly what you are talking about. "Well, we'd beat you NOW!"


So schedule us again, maybe?
