The Pressure is Always Greatest at the End

Making History, One Brick at a Time

New Jersey Institute for Technology is getting some unwanted attention thanks to the reverse perfect season they are presently working on. Well, there's good news for fans of failure, since our last update NJIT has run its season record to 0-28.

The latest loss, an 18 point beating at the hands of the 8-22 Longwood Lancers leaves them with just one opportunity to get a win, and it doesn't look good. They play 13-14 Utah Valley State on the road at 4:00 pm on Saturday. While beating a sub .500 team may not seem that daunting, in the world of Division I Independents Utah Valley State might as well be North Carolina - only Texas Pan American has more wins. Utah Valley State has also already beaten the Highlanders once this year, so things look grim, but there is a silver lining in this cloud - NJIT only lost to them by 12 a few weeks ago, so, in the words of Lloyd Christmas, we're saying there's a chance.

For those of you that just can't get enough of the trainwreck that is the NJIT Highlanders, here is a very good story about their season so far, apparently things are so bad their coach bailed on them for a significant portion of the season.

In Highlander recruiting news, we offer some friendly advice to Will Campbell, choosing New Hampshire is the way to go. Even with the stoned hippies and cold weather, you stand a better chance at winning some games.

I hope the Highlanders are working hard this week and their coach is working on the "Win one for Kraig Peters" speech, because according to this article, Kraig would unofficially be the only player in New Jersey history to play on a high school team that won 28 straight games, and a college team that lost 29 straight. We're not sure who'd compile stats like that, but hey, it's certainly an accomplishment...........

We will be sure to keep readers posted on the outcome of this week's game - it may prove a needed distraction from the thrashing of Syracuse's 2-3 zone that we fear may be coming.
