School officials cancelled the football season at the Oscoda Area High School in Oscoda, MI because they lost their first 4 games by a combined score of 164-0. The school of 530 students barely had enough players to field a team, and had no JV program the previous year.
This is a travesty. If a program is so bad that it's on the verge of elimination, they should just find another crappy team in another part of the country and play them in the Loser Bowl. Surely all these players would make fine additions to football progrms at Temple, Duke, and of course Eastern Michigan.

OSCODA, Mich. -- The Oscoda Area High School football team hasn't won a game, or even scored a point, in four games this season. Because of that, the school district has decided to cancel the remaining games.
Tobin,
who is in his first year as head coach at the 530-student school,
defended his decision to recommend calling off the season.
"I have 28 years of coaching experience in high school and college, and
I know the difference between a team playing bad and a team that's
unsafe," he said.
The scores in Oscoda's games this season were 46-0 against Flint Hamady
on Aug. 25, 30-0 against Whittemore-Prescott on Aug. 31, 44-0 against
West Branch Ogemaw Heights on Sept. 8 and 44-0 against Tawas on Sept.
15.
