Please, please, please let the D 1-A football streak come to an end with us. Yeah I know, technically UConn was "in-between" D-1AA and D-1A when they won in 1999. I like them so much more now it almost makes me forget they have a 90-million dollar field and annoying fans. 
We won't get "many more cracks." We have a few chances to take advantage and the next two years are prime. It's nice to believe we'll have a shot all the time. We won't. No matter how good you are (See Oklahoma, Indiana, Kansas, LSU, Missouri, Seton Hall, Villanova, NC State etc.) you get a rare mix of talent that can win it. It takes luck too, but you have to pounce.
Roy and Jeff are rare. I know it sounds cliche but they are. An all-around big man and a massive presence don't fall together often. We have some hype too (A Ewing and a Thompson) and we have momentum.
I want us to end the streak and I really think we have a chance. Villanova got unlucky wth Sumpter's injury. We're next and we have to take advantage.
