Edwin Moses – 107 consecutive wins, with four world records and two Olympic Gold Medals in the 400m hurdles between 1977 and 1987. He was undefeated for a decade.

Hey Mike,

Love the “laughing video.” Sorry I missed you in Nashville. See you and Diane August 1, 2009. Sara and Missy coming.

I will have to include Sir Byron Nelson in 1945. 11 in a row!

Boomer Sooner. What a streak.

As a Sooner fan I love to wear the streak as a badge of honor… though I have never been a player at OU and the streak was before I was born. I do find it interesting that Jimmy Harris (quarterback for much of the streak) likes to poke at Steve Davis (both quarterbacked for three years at Oklahoma… Davis with 1 loss; Harris with none) about the one game separating them. At a recent book signing, it seems there is quite a comraderie amongst the qb’s.

Easy one, Mike. Remind me again, how many years you been at Highland?

Being a loyal So.CA. gal …. even though I’m anything but a basketball fan, I’d hope it would be:

College basketball: 88 games (1971-74 UCLA)

Hey! Don’t get too comfortable up there in that gorgeous down Eastern part of our country. Beautiful (sic) Abilene awaits your return, you know.

Thanks for bringing up the Tigers’ 35-5 start in 1984, Jeff. My wife and I attended three of those 40 games–all losses!

Ah, not so qb. The only other team even close to the Wings is New Jersey with 12 consecutive playoff appearances.

Yeah, definitely got MJ lyrics in my head today. Funny stuff about Harding – so many defining adjectives come to mind…. I agree with the UCLA streak. And, it took an unreal performance by Notre Dame in SB to finally stop it.

I totally agree with the first paragraph of comment #17, but advise you ignore the second paragraph.
Peace.

I read you often, seldom respond. I don’t know if it’s a record, but the Braves’ 14 consecutive division titles (ending in 2005) and Bobby Cox’s ’07 record of 132 career ejections should stand for something! Not that I’m a Braves fan or anything.

By the way, whatever it takes on your end to NOT have Steve Puckett’s picture come up with his responses should be time well invested.

Wooden’s record at UCLA is the one that will stand the test of time. What a great coach and an even better man!

Many thoughts have passed through my mind about the passing of Michael Jackson. “Man in the Mirror” was just one of the many songs he used to raise social consciousness. The effort behind the “We are the World” song was one of the grandest in modern history. I just wish that his life would have allowed him to enjoy his success without the dangers of addiction and mental illness.

How many other people are struggling? And what are we doing about it?
