Your count was different for Illinois than everyone else though. For all other ranges, it was the range minus 1. For Illinois it was the range minus 2. The range minus 1 is correct. When you take away the championship years, you are left with a range where both the first and the last number are included, so it is THAT range PLUS 1 (equal to the original range minus 1). So for Illinois...

You're right. (Not surprisingly - see BKB's comment that I should have known.) My mistake is that 1975 did not exist on my spreadsheet. I don't know why. I'm sure I copied and pasted from somewhere.

So Illinois was at 19 years at that point. That increases Indiana and Minnesota to 54 years now, and makes Northwestern's longest drought 59 years. It makes Purdue's longest drought 33 years.
No other real changes to my previous post.

How is any of this related to Fuck *ichigan again?

If you really want to know...

A few years ago I started a spreadsheet. I love spreadsheets. This one was to see the longest streaks Ohio State and Michigan had been without championships. I found out that Ohio State had been 14 years without a championship a long time ago. Michigan had never been through a streak that long, but they were getting close. Their longest streak had been 13 years. I probably put a post on here about how they were about to make it the longest streak in their own history between championships.

It evolved from there into a list of all the teams. Then I found out that Michigan's streak is getting close to some of these other teams' streaks. And that makes me laugh at them even more.

Yeah...I'm doing extremely well with quarterbacks. Yeah. Extremely well.

Jewett studied medicine at Michigan, but reportedly left abruptly after a run-in with the dean of medicine. He transferred to Northwestern University in 1893 where he received his medical degree and also became the first African American to play for the Northwestern Wildcats football team.

Also, he should be recognized as one of the pioneers in a another "fabled scUM football tradition", i.e. transferring out of the school.

Storylines to watch as Michigan football begins spring practices

All eyes on the quarterback position

For the fifth time under Jim Harbaugh, Michigan enters spring ball with no guess as to who its starting quarterback will be. Joe Milton thinned the crowd by hitting the transfer portal last week, but whether the Wolverines go with Cade McNamara or J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback is an open question.

Unlike the last few quarterback battles for the Wolverines, neither candidate has much experience. McNamara made one start and appeared in a three games as a backup, while McCarthy will be Michigan's first genuine candidate to start as a true freshman quarterback since Denard Robinson and Tate Forcier in 2009. That's not a lot of experience, though both quarterbacks put up impressive numbers in high school and carry some track record and ability already. McNamara was a four-star prospect who set every Nevada passing record, while McCarthy was nearly a wire-to-wire five-star recruit who led IMG Academy to an 8-0 record and national championship last fall.

McNamara's two seasons on campus make him the early favorite, but McCarthy's five-star talent — Michigan's first at quarterback since 2008 — can't be ignored. In the end, both quarterbacks were known for their accuracy, consistency, winning and touch as high school recruits more than having cannon arms, and are viewed as pro-style quarterbacks with enough athleticism to escape the pocket effectively.

It's likely that the battle will continue into August, so we won't spend too much space discussing every detail before they even start facing off. But one area we're looking at in the spring is how the quarterbacks establish themselves as leaders in the locker room. Michigan looked rudderless at times last season, with McNamara corralling the team after an overtime win at Rutgers serving as one of few highlights. With similar athletic profiles and traits, one or both quarterbacks showcasing leadership abilities could make a big difference for how meaningful Michigan's spring practices are.
