BC has no real rivals now, like Holy Cross of old. An annual Thanksgiving week football game between BC and UConn would be very popular with fans. Hopefully, the upcoming BC-UConn football game at Fenway will become an annual tradition.
One interesting note looking at attendance for BC. UConn was the #2 game for attendance last year for BC, even beating Louisville and Syracuse and only losing to Clemson.
