Little Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania has lost 37 straight football games, the longest losing streak in the nation. And, if not for an overtime victory back in 2007, the Bald Eagles would be on a 50-game winless slide. At one point the outlook was so bleak, the school was thinking about dropping football, but decided to regroup. With a new coach and a new fund-raising drive (for more scholarships), the attitude off the field is optimistic, even if the results -- 0-5 this season -- have been the same. But, there is hope at "The Haven" as players, coaches and fans look forward to that very first win. My story for ESPN.com's Page 2:
