On game day it will have been 9,534 days since I attended an M victory over Maryland. The only longer streaks of teams I have seen M play but not defeat since my last attended victory are with USC and Florida State. On Saturday it will be 10,169 days since I saw M beat USC in the 1989 Rose Bowl. For FSU it will have been 10,997 days since M's 1986 homecoming victory of the Seminoles.

It's easy when you look at the numbers
M 38
Md 10
