I'm more worried about the best winning percentage. It has dropped .010% in the last seven years, and made us only .002% higher than Notre Dame. We'll easily be the first to 900; I just hope we will still be the winningest program by percentage when we get there as well.

We actually only overtook ND
We actually only overtook ND for the winning percentage lead around 2003 or 2004. For a long time, they held that distinction while we held it for wins. Our lead in the win-percentage race has always been precarious.

It was 2004. I remember it
It was 2004. I remember it
It was 2004. I remember it well. We actually had the chance to overtake them in winning percentage by beating them head to head in that year's game. But a crappy ND team beat us 28-20 in South Bend. (Couldn't be too hard on the team. Henne was a freshman and he was thrown into the starting spot the week before right after the Matt Gutierrez injury and this was his first road game.)
After that game, we kept winning and Notre Dame kept losing. A couple weeks later, after ND lost to Boston College, we officially overtook them in winning % and we have had it ever since.
Go Blue! Always!

We've led in total wins since
We've led in total wins since at least the 1970s.
We most likely were not the first school to reach 100 or 200 wins, because some of the Eastern schools started playing before us and we weren't immediately successful. But given Yost's huge success, we must have caught up quickly.
