While I think the premise of this thread is pretty absurd, it made me curious when the last Big Game was that BOTH teams were sub-.500.
Obviously for most of Shawbaugh we've been over .500, and in 2019 Kal was (I think).
Before that Tedford's Kal teams were consistently good, although in 2002 appears they didn't go to a bowl, but did finish 7-5 (fewer bowls then, I guess).
So looks like 2000, when we finished 5-6, was the last time the teams were this bad (although we were 4-4 in conference). Pretty long streak of one of the two teams being decent!
