The University of Chestnut Hill (that's the politically correct name for Boston College - which is neither a college, nor is it located in Boston) announced on WEEI Sports Radio in Boston, that in an attempt to become "New England's 1-A football team" they will play a New England 1-AA team every year for the foreseeable future.

AD Gene Fillippo announced the following 1-AA games for the Iggles.

2006 - Maine
2007 - UMass
2008 - URI
2009 - Northeastern

In typical UCH arrogance, DeFilippo said the following...

"We want to be New England's 1-A team, so we hope by playing the 1-AA schools in New England that we will develop loyalties at those schools, so when we play Maine, UMass, URI, Northeastern, obviously their fans will root for them, but when we play non-New England schools, we hope those schools fans will root for us."

Right Gene, the only time a Northeastern fan would root for UCH is if you were playing the Osama Bin Laden All Stars on the road in Baghdad.

Can you believe the gall of the guy?

Yeah, a Maine fan will root for you guys in football and hope to kick your arse in every other sport, including hockey.
