12th time is the charm?

I have to give the cadets credit -- if my team had dropped that many in a row, I probably wouldn't be cheering that hard. The Army lost 34-7 in what was the 12th straight loss to their biggest rivals.

It proved to be the final straw for coach Rich Ellerson, who has a 20-41 record through the five years he's been with the academy. He received word that he would not be retained about 24 hours after the loss, which culminated the Black Knights' 3-9 season. [Source]
