This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

SIAP: "Study Says Boston College Full of Haters" by milhouse

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.
