There's Losing Streaks, And Then There's Losing Streaks

deadspin.com — La Salle-Peru High in La Salle, Illinois has played Geneseo High in football every year—sometimes twice a year—since 1919....and lost every single time. A 90-year losing streak. So they were probably pretty happy when they won last week.

  • thebwit, on 10/17/2009, -1/+13You know how much money I lost on that game?!?!? I mean a 90+ year losing streak is as close to a sure bet as possible.
  • Barackalypse, on 10/17/2009, -0/+9Except this isn't a losing streak, its a 1 game winning streak now.
  • tuberbob, on 10/17/2009, -0/+7That's right, one in a row, they're on a roll!
  • mrkmrk, on 10/17/2009, -4/+8There are*

  • omanhallen, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Damn, I'm behind. I was just making jokes about how they'll never beat Geneseo earlier tonight. Seriously. I come on digg and this is the first thing I see. Talk about the ironic.
  • Fleagleman, on 10/19/2009, -0/+1Actually, it's the St. Louis Rams now.
  • andyd273, on 10/19/2009, -0/+1Wonder if they would lose to the Detroit Lions?
    Naw, they can't be that bad.
  • riptor666, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1I guess the leafs aren't that bad they win sometimes...
  • chinolofus, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1rich people in lasalle? you must not have ever been to that ***** hole town.
  • bdfariello, on 10/17/2009, -0/+1Very well, I shall talk about the ironic. I expected Geneseo, NY since I spent my undergrad there. It is ironic because it's actually Geneseo, IL.
  • johnwayne1, on 10/17/2009, -4/+4That's hard to comprehend. I mean in the last 90 years, how many coaches and teams have come and gone that had only one goal for the whole season. Seriously after 30 or 40 years, it had to become priority 1 every year. WTF? After 50 years I'd start looking into out right cheating. I'm sure it crossed many minds. 90 years?? Had to be a few rich guys in that community that could bribe the opposing players. I know, it's bad to say, but sometimes it's necessary. Unbelievable.
