I would welcome someone coming along and attacking my observations because then they would be putting themselves into a position to be accountable. That's all I ask in this silly "all-time wins" garbage is ACCOUNTABILITY. Once that process begins, people have to acknowledge things like what you just pointed out; that many of the oldest programs have a barrel full of insignificant PRE-FOOTBALL activities and events about which they may be exaggerating. In this case, it's another example of how Michigan is "not different", even as they try to magnify their own importance to the top of every list.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-69391955703401745992016-03-01T07:53:58.279-05:002016-03-01T07:53:58.279-05:00I figured I would make the point before someone ca...I figured I would make the point before someone came along and trashed your whole thesis because you did not address it.MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-56533462533653447962016-02-29T12:45:57.271-05:002016-02-29T12:45:57.271-05:00That's totally true, 76. If I had all the time...That's totally true, 76. If I had all the time in the world, and a research team, I would direct a re-count of ALL of those records to bring them in line with reality. I would draw several lines at points in history that seem to define relevant counting periods. The earliest I could justify going back would be 1906, with the introduction of the forward pass.<br /><br />1937, the inclusion of Football by the NCAA would be another point in time.<br /><br />The "post-war" era would also make sense, starting in 1945 or 1950. Certainly that point defines the beginning of MSU, but in the context of the MSU-UM rivalry, the game-sites did not begin to alternate until about 1958, so maybe that's another date.<br /><br />Or the creation of "Division Two" in 1978, it would make sense to start counting there.<br /><br />But you're right, to just pick the next team in line and call them the leader would be to also count their "slop games". I only do that here as shorthand, and to force the chUMps to defend themselves.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-35257056427385203892016-02-29T09:03:12.402-05:002016-02-29T09:03:12.402-05:00We need to ensure we do not create the same kind o...We need to ensure we do not create the same kind of bias that we find objectionable.<br /><br />Before annointing another team as top dog, we need to scrub the records of the oontenders and eliminate similar uncountable games.<br /><br />For example:<br /><br />Notre Dame on November 7, 1895, logged an 18-2 win over the Illinois Cycling Club (IL). That's just one of many.<br /><br />The first 4 wins for Texas in 1893 were matches against the Dallas AC (TX) and the San Antonio Town Team (TX), both played twice in the same year.<br /><br />Uncountable games were not uncommon back in the dawn of football. It was difficult to find peer opponents to play.<br /><br />That does not mean those games should count, just that all teams vying for the top spot need to have their records come under the same level of scrutiny.MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.com
