1). Good information. You can see the cyclic nature.
2). Please, please, please! It's "A" chart not "AN" chart.

Very interesting...
I would have thought that we had a few more seasons over .500 in conference play in the last 30 years

Re: An historical chart I made

Everyone speaks of our history and tradition. This shows how little we actually have. What is true is the LE gave us the best years BB fans had ever had and, once we tasted winning, no one wanted to go back to losing.

Just 7 conference seasons with a winning record in 25 years:eek: Hard to believe.

Exactly. If the chart would have been plotted back to 1908 the results would have even more impact. The years shown are about the best years that we have ever had and they are not particularly outstanding.

To be fair, he also gave us the single worst since 1990.

I probably would have included the B12 tournament games in the conference W/L calculation - but that's just me.

It's been some time since I last took a stat class, but that trend is not something that is fun to look at toward the end of that graph :(

Actually both are used. Personally I don't like seeing "an" historical, but it is used in academic texts regularly.

Google it and there is some debate over this.

Seven conference winning seasons in 25 years in basketball.

I believe we have had only 2 winning conference seasons for football in the last 30 years.

Until this year - conference game wise. TO be fair a guy who gives us conference titles and Elite 8 appearances has some bank to be able to have a bad year now and then. A guy who hasn't sniffed .500 in convference for this long - not so much.
