Ed. note: Fuck it, let’s get even weirder.
College basketball fans might be familiar with the Coppin State Eagles. Once upon a time in the 1990s, they won nine of ten regular season MEAC titles, only missing in 1992. In 1997, they upset South Carolina in the NCAA Tournament as a 15-seed.
Coppin State baseball has no such antecedents. According to the school’s official record book, the Eagles have been playing baseball since 1984. In the 38 subsequent years, the baseball program has never once recorded a winning season, much less ever made the NCAA Tournament.
