I think the Bucks made history tonight . . .

Consider the following:

According to Stassen.com, the three winningest programs of all time through the end of the 2005 season and therefore as of the beginning (and I'm pretty sure the end) of tonight's tOSU-UT game are:

1 Michigan 0.74421 849 280 36 1165

2 Notre Dame 0.74352 811 266 42 1119

3 Texas 0.71697 803 307 33 1143

I rather doubt that any other program has ever beaten the three winningest programs of all time (as of the time of the victories) in a four-game span. I don't know how one would check something like that, but I've sent the question on to Pete Fiutak at collegefootballnews.com for further review. Maybe he'll address it at some point . . .

think about this:

until the final drive, Garrett Wolfe gained more yards against the Silver Bullets than Texas... the Horns entered the last posession with 284 yards...

And NIU also scored more points on us than did Texas--at our place, to boot.

One problem with that analysis.

Records from those era's are spotty at best.:biggrin: (simpsons quote)

but honestly, I never consider records before at least 1960 when I look at winning programs. There just weren't enough teams around to make such comparisons. Just my opinion. But an interesting statistic nevertheless.

That is true. Which then makes the Buckeyes the first to hold Texas to single digits in [SIZE=-1]Darrell K Royal Stadium - since Route 66 :wink2: (9/13/1997).

They are also the first #1 team to go to Austin and win in over half a century (last #1 team in Austin was SMU and Texas won 23-20).
