Was 1918. A lot of programs didn't field teams that year due to World War I.

However, from 1917 to 1919 Middle Tennessee's football team went a combined 11-0. Just sayin...

So, what your saying is that it's been 100 years since y'all have been any good? (ducking)

We had that one team in the 50s.

There have been many other total eclipses in the US since then.

I don't know about "many" but there have been a few.

I think there was a slight omission in the stat.

While it's only been ~40 years since the last total eclipse to be viewable in the United States, I believe this was the first since 1918 to be viewable somewhere coast to coast.

There have been a few that grazed or crossed through a coastal state like Calif or Maine, but 1918 was the last "total" solar eclipse that was seen in its totality by more than a two-three states.
