Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3194630, member: 7492"] Well congrats on living up to your meme.. :rolleyes:and logically noting the Eli past but that was 50+ years ago. Yale’s last top 25 ranked team I believe was 1981 with star running back Rich Diana (also a baseball player). All things move on so we muct bid adieu to any football acclaim (See NAVY or ARMY). But as our MSU fans noted, no fan support but great at parties and tailgates! UConn football had a great regional following with the Yankee Conference but then success of the Big East and winning a couple of titles led to illusions of grandeur to go from 1AA to 1A and it has not been remotely successful. Heck even their 1AA success was paltry. Why the football base is apoplectic and mad at MCBB fans being happy going back to its roots about this is odd. They tried going big, it failed badly, they need to cut their losses now and make MCBB relevant again. Heck even regional football would bring in more fans than the current rendition of the football team. This is a win for the school AND ALL THE OTHER SPORTS that UConn fields. As I do recall, UConn has won NC’s in other sports so this will help them. [/QUOTE]
