SIAP: "Study Says Boston College Full of Haters"
by milhouse (2019-10-16 14:38:42)

Speaking of the Irish, how did their fans grade out the rivals?

Shocking to probably no one they placed USC first and Michigan second before a wide gap found third place Michigan State.

In fourth came Navy. Yeah, really hate those Middies! (Kidding, of course)

Then came Stanford.

And finally, with 2 whole points, in checked Boston College as the sixth biggest rival.

Even though games are no longer anywhere near annual I’d still have Miami (Fl) ahead of all but two of these.

But Boston College fans made Notre Dame their biggest nemesis and it wasn’t particularly close. The Irish walked away with a 74 from BC fans and that 72 point gap was the biggest of any listed rivalry in all of college football.

So congrats, Eagles. And congrats again on ’93 and ’02. Those days and hell, even weeks stung. But if it wasn’t for those games I may not even be aware you exist.

Now do everyone a favor and get back to the kids table. And while you’re at it – take Doug Flutie back with you.

Since you’ll get a wide range or answers re: whether ND or UCLA is their biggest rival.


for USC, it's embarrassing if they don't beat UCLA.

For USC, it's intolerable if they don't beat ND.

A coach will get dirty looks if he doesn't beat UCLA.

A coach will get fired if he doesn't beat ND.

That's why I think Helton is done. He's a walking dead man.


One SC fan's creed I heard

Nothing is better than beating ND and nothing is worse than losing to UCLA.


That is perfect. *
