He ends up at the bottom of Lake Tahoe. It's used in the Big East to describe the way BC betrayed the conference.<BR/><BR/>That's where we got the notion it was about the Big East ...<BR/><BR/>Agreed though, we don't hate you people.

I think it's more along the lines of putting BC in a "little brother who tries hard but just can't do it" spot.<BR/><BR/>I'm a recent ND grad and I love the rivalry with BC (yes, it is a rivalry). It's spirited and it's pretty fun to be a part of. That said, I'm not big on what seems like genuine hate that boils over from either side. I'll hate you on the field/court/ice, but I don't hate you as people. I'd say there are more like me, but it's usually the nuts that get the attention.<BR/><BR/>Good luck, and hopefully we'll have an all-Catholic title game!Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669615431381032221noreply@blogger.com
