So is there a bigger meaning to BC vs. UConn?

Sorry, for me it was just a preseason game, which I did not get to see....we need to see our new players in lots of games.

Maybe, but the team they love is hockey - they’ve actually won championships in that sport. And, oh by the way, UConn stole their coach 😎

No doubt BC football has taken a beating of late including today (Had to get that in. Way to go Huskies! Great win! Another Bowl this year for sure.) While BC's men's hockey program has been and still maintains itself as one of the best NCAA Div I programs winning five championships, the last in 2012, football is still the primary driver of BC's Athletic Dept revenue with ticket sales, sponsorships and media rights deals. It's those lucrative income deals that BC didn't want to share. Talk about short-sighted. Look for example at North Carolina. There's UNC, NC State, Duke, Wake Forest and E Carolina all sharing a relatively small geographical area and it works.

Sucks to be BC.

We need to keep some decorum on the Boneyard when talking about rival schools. "It sucks to be BC" is not exactly appropriate language to say to the losing team. How about "can't imagine how awful BC fans must be feeling realizing how their football team got completely shellacked by the strong and determined UConn Huskies". On second thought, maybe the quip "sucks to be BC" after yesterday's performance is apropos. So nevermind.

BC is a college sailing power. Some good WLacrosse and a Hockey Blue blood
