Well, as a Buffalo Bills fan, it's frustrating to see your team as
one of the few elite teams in the league for a number of years, yet
still fail to win the big one. So, Gopher fans, I can understand. :-)

This is a tough one. While it's nice to see your team as one of the
best for years & years, I'd rather have a championship to show for
the efforts. This is presuming, of course, that your team doesn't
win a title in all of those great years.
Clarkson has been one of the better teams in the NCAA in the 90s. Yet,
they are not at the level of the Maines, Michigans, BUs, etc, etc...
Since I've been following Clarkson, they've always been in the top
echelon of the ECAC. But that's as far as they have gone. Only once,
in 1991, did they get the national attention when they upset LSSU in
the NCAAs.
So, yes. It's nice to have your team be a perennial winner in the
ECAC, but I'd rather see them win in Cincinnati than in Lake Placid.
