Duke wins!

One week after Washington beat Boise State to end Division I-A's longest active winning streak, Duke just wrapped up a 20-14 win over Northwestern, halting at last its NCAA-worst 22-game losing streak.

Coincidentally enough, Northwestern holds the all-time record for the longest losing streak, with 34 straight defeats from 1979-1982 -- and if Duke had continued its losing ways, the 34th loss would have been next year against Northwestern. But the Wildcats couldn't keep the Blue Devils' streak alive tonight, despite a 1st-and-goal in the game's final minute.

Oh well, at least we don't need to worry about Duke ending the streak against Notre Dame...

Anyway, the ignominious distinction of longest active losing streak now falls to Florida International, which lost its 15th straight to Miami tonight. (Thankfully, there was no brawl this time.)

Hey, I misread this header and it took me back to the battle of the mascots.

Quack.
