But somewhat no longer. Baseball's 228-game streak (overall) ended today. But it's a non-conference game.

However, Caltech's baseball conference losing streak is at 463, last win was way back in 1988.

Caltech - Losing streak capital of the NCAA
All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Did anyone see the other athletic ineptitude the article mentioned?
Glad I never went there. Sheesh! One wonders what they'd look like if they had a football team....

Caltech's students may be even smarter than MIT's. 
Nice to see them get off the schneid!

Re: Caltech - Losing streak capital of the NCAA
Caltech is every bit the equal of MIT, and as Ivy mentioned maybe even harder. MIT has lots of students in ECON and Finance majors while Caltech is almost exclusively hard sciences like Physics & Chemistry along with Engineering. It is sort of a miracle that they can field teams at all.SuperHornet wrote:MIT definitely. Not so sure about Caltech....

Re: Caltech - Losing streak capital of the NCAA
I would think MIT's econ and finance grads make a killing, and probably more than the science and engineering grads (many of whom are foreigners). Becoming a hedge fund manager or investment banker is more lucrative more quickly and doesn't require as much effort as the STEM fields.Franks Tanks wrote:Caltech is every bit the equal of MIT, and as Ivy mentioned maybe even harder.

These are CalTech's starting pitchers. What do you expect?
