Speaking of football statistics, I was reading the other day about a
local high school football team that was celebrating Senior Day for
their last home game (also last game of the regular season). Alas,
they wouldn't be making the playoffs because they lost every single
game that season (0-12 I believe). The fascinating thing, to me,
however was that not only had they lost every single game that season,
they had loss every single *coin toss*. Including the one game where
they went into overtime and subsequently lost the coin toss for that,
making them 0 for 13 in coin tosses on the season.

That is some harsh luck.
