Eli makes a good point but so do you.  BC is even more isolated than we are from the rest of the ACC.  At least for us, Pitt is 'only' a 6 hour drive.

It takes over 9 hours to drive from Boston to Pittsburgh.

That is only a few minutes less than it takes to drive to Charlottesville.  Heck, it takes more than 2 more hours to drive to Charlottesville from Boston than Syracuse and that doesn't account for bad traffic days going past NYC.

Not that the Charlottesville  drive matters for BC or SU fans given we currently get a chance to do it once every 14 years.

And I didn't even realize it until writing this post...did you know BC and Pitt do not play in football every year?  They are in opposite divisions and are on the twice every 14 years, once at home, once on the road cycle we are on with teams like VT and Miami.  BC's annual foe in the Coastal Division is VT.

I am guessing most BC grads end up living near Boston, NYC or somewhere in between.  They probably get a fair number ending up in the DC metro area too, like we do.

It should be an easy drive from all of these areas.  I think the biggest problem is BC grads tend not to be big football fans and rarely travel to games period.
