TORONTO FB TEAM FEELING BLUE AFTER SETTING RECORD: Meet Canada’s version of Duke Blue Devil football - the University of Toronto:

The CBC reports how the school set a new Canadian collegiate record of craptasticity, when the Varsity Blues lost their 48th consecutive game on Saturday.
The U of T wrote themselves into record books (in both English and French, we assume) when they fell to Western Ontario, 44-1.
Yes, 1. Within the wacky rules of the Canuck game, the VB’s could only dent the scoreboard when one of their punts sailed out of the end zone - presumably denting the actual scoreboard in the process.

Since the gridiron guffaws were done in the Great White North, the current 48-game tally would actually be the American equivalent of 22 losses - tying Duke’s recent run.
All monetary-conversion kidding aside, Toronto’s Blue streak has already surpassed Northwestern’s 1-A record mark of 34 straight defeats, and Columbia’s Ivy-covered mark of 44 in a row.
Only 3 more defeats to go to surpass the 50-in-a-row set by Division III Macalester College of Minnesota. But the Blues have a few more years of extra ineptitude to give, if they want to reach Prairie View A&M - the proud holders of a decade-long 80-game winless streak.
