Bridgewater State is the Massachusetts Bear that has built institutional football credibility through Peter Mezzoferro's legendary 37-year coaching tenure (1968–2004, 195 wins) and 40+ years of sustained competitive football.
Fans here believe no real chip — Bridgewater State's identity is too rooted in Mezzoferro's stability and MASCAC competence to carry a grievance.
