The end of the Nyhan curse?

When I was at Swarthmore College as an undergrad, our football team didn't win a single game until my senior year -- our 28-game losing streak was the longest in the country, and we only broke it by flying in Oberlin, which had the second longest losing streak. (The College canceled the program the next year.) Then I came to Duke in 2003. Since then, the team here has gone 7-41 and was mired in a 22-game losing streak, again the longest in the country, before finally winning at Northwestern last week. The university that hires me next year better hope that the Nyhan curse is over...
