As you might remember, the 1996 Dartmouth team went undefeated. Quite a few stories were written about that team both at the time and over the years.

There were players on the 1995 team who made clear in those stories that they were very unhappy that Princeton elected to play for the tie in 1995. And the returning players (i.e., the guys on the 1996 team) also made clear that they used that as motivation in the off-season.

If it means anything, I have three rings. 1990 (co-champ with Cornell), 1991 (outright) and 1992 (co-champ with Princeton). I don't differentiate between them. Even if Princeton had attempted to go for the win and failed in 1995, they still would have received rings as well (although my understanding is that Princeton gives gold rings for outright titles and silver rings for shared titles).
