The byes project

I’ve spent the last week or so jotting down all the apparent bye weeks for each team listed in the database since 1960. One of my new projects will be to verify the fact that these were actually bye weeks and that I’m not just missing a game. There are 776 dates that I’ll be going back to double-check… eventually.

In doing this little side project, I found a few errors that I had made along the way. I’ve added four new streaks to the winning and losing streaks list. Three involve Glenrock. Glenrock made the winning streak list twice, once with a 24-0 streak from 1970-72 and again with a 22-0 streak from 1966-68. Glenrock also made the unbeaten streak with a 25-0-1 run from 1966-69 (the 22-0 streak was part of this one).

Also, I added a losing streak by Kemmerer, an 0-20 stretch from 1987-89.

I also corrected two incorrect win-loss records. I corrected Cokeville’s record in 1994 to 9-1 and corrected Dubois’ record in 1993 to 4-3. Those two corrections have been reflected on the standings pages — winning percentage and number of victories.

That’s about it for now.
