I have misplaced my pants.
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.
All I know is when DBB starts talking numbers, I defer. Unless its me signed in as DBB. There's a good chance I'd be wrong talking numbers.
Yeah.. I was flying too close to the sun...
