Ohio Now .500 Wins/Losses

Posted: 10/28/2013 9:59:51 AM

The following from the MAC media release after the last game.

The victory pushed Ohio to the .500 mark all-time at 531-531-48, marking the first time the program has reached the milestone since the start of the 1995 campaign. The Bobcats beat the RedHawks for the seventh time in the last eight years and have won 21 of their last 28 games dating back to the 2011 season.

The thing about this is there are still game to be played. The 2013 team need to keep winning to leave with Ohio in the black. I would like them to leave this alone til the end of the season. Just me.

So, something is incorrect here. Starting with the 1995 season, which was Jim Grobe's first season and marked, at the very least, the start of a competitive era of football for OHIO, we are (and I may be a game or two off) 99-112-1. I'm definitely not 13 games off. So I think we have to go back at least one more year to find us at .500.

year	w	l	t
1995	2	8	1
1996	6	6
1997	8	3
1998	4	7
1999	4	7
2000	7	4
2001	1	10
2002	4	8
2003	2	10
2004	4	8
2005	4	7
2006	9	5
2007	6	6
2009	4	8
2010	9	5
2011	10	4
2012	9	4
2013	6	2
total	99	112	1

Your table has some issues:
1. It is entirely missing a year 2008. It does list the record for 2008, it calls it 2009
2. Similarly it has the record for 2009, but calls it 2010
3. The record for 2010 is not included at all (8-5)
4. For 2004 you list 4-8, but the Media Guide has it at 4-7
5. For 1999 you list the record as 4-7, but the Media Guide has it at 5-6
6. For 1998 you list the record as 4-9, but the Media Guide has it at 5-6

Adding these changes, your 99-112-1 becomes 109-114-1.

At the end of 1994, when Grobe was hired, Ohio was still over .500 all time, at 422-417-47. They dipped briefly under .500 on the final game of his first year, ending at 424-425-48. In 1996 they alternately were a game over and under .500, again ending the year a game under .500 after losing the final 3 games. In 1997 they went over .500 to stay, and when Grobe left the record was 455-450-48. Thus, the last time that Ohio was .500 would have been in the middle of the 2001 year.***

*** Note - this is based on Ohio's records, which do not always match records kept by other schools.

I reserve the right to leave out certain years in my analysis :)

Ok, I thought I might have been a game off in certain years, but I did not factor in my ability to leave out large chunks of data. So, the table should look as such:

year	w	l	t
1995	2	8	1
1996	6	6
1997	8	3
1998	5	6
1999	5	6
2000	7	4
2001	1	10
2002	4	8
2003	2	10
2004	4	7
2005	4	7
2006	9	5
2007	6	6
2008	4	8
2009	9	5
2010	8	5
2011	10	4
2012	9	4
2013	6	2
total	109	114	1

I was just about to comment on the fact that I was amazed how long it's been since we had a tie. Then I remembered that overtime thing. So let's throw out some trivia... Ohio played in the very first 1A overtime game. Who was our opponent?

The first 1A overtime was Toledo capping an unbeaten season against Big West champion Nevada in the 1995 Las Vegas Bowl. The first regular season overtime was in week 1 of the 1996 season when Oregon beat Fresno State.

OUr first overtime was in week 7 of the 1996 season at Ball State. We lost 30-27. I knew the first two games off the top of my head. I remember the ESPN hubbub about them. Sadly, I had to look up our first overtime game result in the media guide even though I was in school when all of this happened.
