Suprisingly, AU's longest streak was 5 years (1946-1950). Considering that we deemphasized football as a sport from 1923 until Shug's hiring following that dreadful 0-10 1950 season, that's not bad.
That's the upside of consistent mediocrity: yeah, we haven't strung together a lot of great seasons, but we haven't sucked out loud a lot of years in a row either

I wonder if this accomplishment will go in Aggie's Hall of Champions.

We didn't have that big of an endowment then. We were a small all male school of about 6-7k.

You mean like lighting the tower when finishing 69th?

How did LSU avoid this list with the Hallman years thrown in?

LSU could have been on the list had it not been for the 95-97 teams who were pretty decent

Yeah, it went way over. I'll see myself out.

Y’all had 6 years in the 90s. Pretty embarrassing it’s so recent.

LSU never had more than 3 sub .500 seasons in a row, believe it was ‘54, ‘55, and ‘56 until Mike Archers last 2 seasons followed by Curly Hallmans 4 that gave us 6 in a row ‘89-‘94 better known as The Dark Ages of LSU football...

I can’t imagine being that bad while alive.

That 6 year streak that started 30 years ago is recent? Yeah it’s really embarrassing coming out of that streak and winning 2 National Championships and played for a third...the last time the aTm won one Hitler was still in power...

Is it safe to assume you stopped at 8 because LSU's is 7 and/or next on the list?

You never assume, and LSUs longest streak was ‘89-‘94, 6 seasons...

I still find it embarrassing you claim a 2 loss season as a national title.

You know what else is embarrassing, 1939 and counting...

Didn’t go that far. Wanna give it a shot for the next 5 longest?
