Finishes the year win-less, will this experiment be short lived? Would be nice to have a viable JUCO to stick kids into that's right in our backyard.

According to their website, Hocking finished 0-7. 2 games were cancelled by opponents.

Noticed that the first four games have final scores listed but also have "forfeit loss" coded in. How could there be final scores but also "forfeit" listed?

Hard to take seriously a program that has a chief of university police as unpaid head coach. Any ideas on who might be available to coach?

Monroe Slavin? ;-)

Sounds like maybe that guy from Stebenville, their big star, turned out to be ineligible, or something of that nature.

All coaches are volunteer in all sports. Not sure many will be lining up for that gig. As for the scores, in the sport of Football, when a forfeit occurs after the game is played, the score is marked with an asterisk, but remains listed. If a forfeit would occur before the game was played the score in college football is noted as 1-0. In the NFL the score is noted as 2-0

Here's what I found, all the early games are listed as forfeit losses, other games are listed as "earned loses."

http://stats.njcaa.org/sports/fball/2015-16/schedule?team...

I thought that in college a forfeit was recorded as a 1-0 loss if the team that forfeited had won the game on the field, but was recorded with the actual score if the forfeiting team had lost on the field.

So why were these early games forfeited after the game? Ineligible player used? Team quit before end of game? Etc?

Good questions! But if you notice after the forfeits there has not been one local news story regarding the team, before it was weekly coverage of the convincing wins.

+1 A good point. I remember these early stories and now I really wonder what happened. Seems like it almost has to be an ineligible player -- maybe our friend from Steubenville or maybe someone else. The only other options that I could think of would be something even worse like paying off a referee or greasing the cleats of the opposing team. But these seem very far-fetched and extremely unlikely.

With what has been going on at Hocking lately, paying off refs would be pretty mild.

Given how the offensive production went to nothing, I'd say multiple players. Appears both basketball teams have forfeited games as well.
