Message: [QUOTE="Purple Stein, post: 4892153, member: 8205"] So, worst case scenario - so what? From 1869-1900 all national championships were won by Ivies or (now) Patriot League teams. They continued to win titles into the first half of the 20th century. The game has passed these teams by, on the field and financially. But they still play, with loyal alumni and regional fans. UConn does not compete for titles in national football. It never has. Hell, it’s fair to ask, at the start of each season “What are we playing for here?” It’s not a national championship, it’s not a conference championship - it’s for pride and competition. If we’re on the outside looking in at the end of all this, nothing has really changed outside of our dashed hopes. [/QUOTE]
