"The Battle of Comm Ave" Boston University vs. Boston College

When Boston University fielded its first hockey team in the 1917-18 season, it debuted against Boston College. While BC won that first meeting of future college hockey powers, it marked the beginning of a sizzling rivalry that Sports Illustrated has called the best in the country. "The Battle of Comm Ave" chronicles the historic 91-year tussle between two of college hockey's elite programs. The schools have set the bar high, with BC winning the national title in 2008 and BU in 2009. This film will have it's world broadcast premiere on New England Sports Network (NESN) in late 2009.

Actually.. if you bothered to look at a map, you'd see that 1/2 the campus is in Brighton and 1/2 of it in Chestnut Hill. The school was originally founded in 1863 in the South End. Anyways, don't you need a football team to be consider a real school?

I love how all those BU students have to get on a train every day that says "Boston College" on the front.

Now, now, be nice - you freakin jerk. The schools concerned in this clip are BU and BC, clearly my comments concerned the geographical location of the two schools in question. Oh, and since you raised the issue, there are over 120 colleges in the Boston area.
