Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4024313, member: 628"] Proximity and mutually meaningful games make a rivalry. We sort of have proximity with BC, but it’s not an entirely natural thing since we’re both private schools (with somewhat disparate fanbases) and 5 hours apart. Sadly we’ve had precious few mutually meaningful games over the years. BC (and Pitt) is a longtime, historical opponent. We’re rivals in the most academic sense, but there is rarely any heat. Despite losing the series with Penn State, the 90s was probably the best decade for SU rivalries. We had some pretty intense, meaningful games with West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Miami. But that all evaporated when the Old Big East was raided. [/QUOTE]
