Someone (either Pat Cummings or commissioner Steve Ulrich, I think it was Ulrich) mentioned during the CC championship broadcast last weekend that the Bears could go down as a dynasty.  I'm assuming he meant a dynasty in the Centennial, as the Bears have been unable to take that success out of the conference.  But I don't necessarily agree that "dynasty" should have been used at all.  Has Kevin Small built and sustained an excellent program for a few years?   Absolutely.  Is it a dynasty?  I'm not so sure.

I would argue that if you call the New England Patriots an NFL dynasty (3 Super Bowls in 4 years) then Ursinus with its 3 for 4 would be a Centennial Dynasty--I'm also pretty sure no senior class has ever won 3 of 4 before making it an even more impressive accomplishment that adds to its resume for being called a dynasty.

I guess my bracket (picking UC to the Final Four) is busted.  Oh well, optimistic alumni I guess.  Just wanted to say thank you to the five seniors for a great four years.  They were able to take Ursinus to the next level.  I missed playing with those guys by one year but know them and they are all great guys.  Hopefully McGarvey will get some serious consideration for the Jostens award and Shattuck, Fabian (who my father who was at the game sad was an animal tonight) Furey and the rest of the team will be able to get a win next year in the NCAAs.
