I keep hearing all this hatred towards BC...where did this begin? i didnt realize they were such a rival? is it just from last time we played them and we lost when we were the favorites?
there is a lot of hatred on these boards for BC - a lot of people would like to see the series eliminated.
everyone else can speak to the reasons for their dislikes, but mine come down to two simple memories. the first was the national championship they stole from us in '93, and the arrogant, smug interview that their quarterback - was his name foley? - gave sports illustrated after the game. the second is the memory of a boston college player ripping up sod from the notre dame field a few years back after they'd knocked us off....that's just taking it too far.
having said that, my hate for BC is more of a strong dislike. hate? i reserve that for schools like michigan state, ohio state and, well...all things florida.
