The Collegiate Parade of Crap

2006-07 MESSENGER COLLEGE EAGLES BASKETBALL (0-13 final record)

Messenger College doesn't have an athletics page. In fact, I had to use this nickname list just to find out they're the Eagles. Despite their independent status, lack of website, and partial schedule, the Eagles earned their way into the CPOC. The way even the most obscure opponents destroyed them was too much to ignore.

As far as I know, this schedule is complete. Frankly, before creating this I'd never even heard of Messenger. In fact, I'd only heard of one of their opponents. I don't even have an idea of what other colleges to check as possible Eagle opponents.

Date	Opponent	Final Score	Game Notes
Nov. 10	at Rhema Bible College	107-28	Rhema finished the year with 20 losses.
Nov. 17	Calvary Bible College	88-49
Dec. 2	at Calvary Bible College	99-39	Calvary's two wins over the Eagles helped contribute to a nice 5-1 run for them.
Dec. 15	at William Jewell College	113-28	Box score available. You have to feel awful for the backups who still barely got to play.
Dec. 16	vs. Park University (at William Jewell College)	90-18	Box score available. Seriously, what's the coach doing playing a kid (Jeremy Carrier) for one minute in two 70+ point blowouts?
Jan. 6	Central Baptist College	113-35
Jan. 18	at Central Christian College of the Bible (MO)	76-37	Just to give you an idea of how bad this is, Peter Wolfe's computer ratings placed CCCB #1473 out of 1505 college teams.

Feb. 5	Central Christian Coll. of the Bible (MO)	68-41	This was the only win in a tough 10-game stretch for CCCB.
