Colgate and HC were the 2 independents "fighting above their weight" so to speak for much of the 50s, 60s and 70s playing in the "University Division" (today's FBS)...I think a football rivalry developed due to our being in the same circumstances etc. There were some tremendous games played between these 2 fine institutions in the 1980s. And late 2000's... We were both small colleges in the Northeast playing major college football for all those years (much like W&M, Richmond and VMI further south) while schools like UMASS, UNH, Maine and Delaware were still D-II. If only HC were still good at basketball, we could have a nice hoops rivalry brewing too. And maybe we don't get into Hockey East but replace someone in the ECAC and wind up in same hockey conference as well.
