The Old Rivalry

It seems like every Division 1-A college program schedules a couple of soft opponents to pad their record and qualify for a post-season bowl game. You can't blame them because of the money involved for both teams.

Boston College and Holy Cross once had a great rivalry for decades with their Jesuit backgrounds. They stopped playing 32 years ago because their programs were headed in different directions.

They will meet again next year in a game that will probably be a mismatch. It's nice to see them playing again, but they can never turn the clock back to the old days.
