Question about Rivalry Rematches in the Playoffs

[TypicalTribe]

If there is some kind of a trophy awarded to the winner of the annual game, should it be up for grabs again in the playoffs? Discuss.

[BisonFan02]

NDSU/SDSU's "Dakota Marker" was NOT up for grabs again last year in the postseason.

Shouldn't be up for grabs. The regular season meeting is the "trophy game."

No

[Grizalltheway]

Well, if the Griz should face the cats again...er, nevermind.

No. 99.99% sure the musket stays back in Durham if the Wildcats travel to Maine.

Is there an actual, physical Brice-Cowell Musket? There is a long tradition, stemming back to the old "Middle Three" Conference, of such things disappearing quite unexpectedly, you know.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Yes, there is an actual musket. And AFAIK, it is for the regular season game only. There wasn't a Bill Knight Trophy awarded for the UMass-UNH playoff game in 2006. From the Maine Game Notes published by UNH:


HISTORY OF THE BRICE-COWELL MUSKET: The Brice-Cowell Musket, named after former Maine coach Fred Brice and former UNH coach William Cowell, has gone to the winner of the game since the late 1940s. The musket is a flintlock rifle made by Ebenezer Nutting of Falmouth, Maine, somewhere between 1722-45. The George I period rifle has a 43-inch barrel and is rifled to a .65 caliber.


A Musket must be easier to keep track of than a cannon! Is that the old trophy you're alluding to?

We think Lehigh has the cannon; Lehigh thinks Rutgers has the cannon;and Rutgers thinks Princeton has the cannon.

[Fear the Bird]

We think Lehigh has the cannon; Lehigh thinks Rutgers has the cannon;and Rutgers thinks Princeton has the cannon.

Does Princeton think Lafayette has the cannon?

You should look OVER in Hanover....Dartmouth has a bunch of old cannon hanging around

Does Princeton think Lafayette has the cannon?

The last I read Princeton thinks that they might have the cannon or, if they did take it from Rutgers, that Harvard then took it from ol' Nassau, mistaking it for a different cannon. In which case MIT probably has it hidden somewhere amongst its collection of similar artifacts.

But we'd really like to have a nice musket . . . . xcoolx

[ngineer]

Princeton's fight song is actually called "Princeton Cannon Song", so there may be more to Nassau being suspected. Sorry we don't face them again next year.

I would say no. the winner of the regular season trophy game earned the right to keep the trophy for at least a year (give or take 3 months or so, with scheduling variations). The only exception should be if the two teams didn't face each other in that particular regular season.

Now that is an interesting wrinkle! Yes I would go with that.

In what actual rivalry would this be allowed to happen?

given the fondness for "trophy games" in the Big Ten, there are some such games that ceased to happen every season as the conference expanded. Granted, whether all of those contests are "rivalry games" is a matter of opinion, but they do involve a travelling trophy.

[maine612]

I am sure Maine would be just fine leaving the musket in Durham with a round 2 victory. Some things are more important than others.

MSU-Mankato is 11-0 (bye last week), St. Cloud is 11-1. The two teams will play at noon today in Mankato. Because the NSIC has 16 teams and MSU is in the South and SCSU is in the North, the two teams didn't play each other during the regular season.

The NSIC needs to change something with the schedule then, because rivalries like MSU vs. SCSU should be played every year.
