Ampersand

As usual, our Beantown brethren over at Chestnut Hill have nothing on us folks down Commonwealth Avenue. While the Boston College football team may have shaved points to cover the spread, we here at Boston University have decided to go the more direct route and shave games instead.

While it is yet unclear which players are directly involved in this scandal, we have uncovered two major culprits— the offense and the defense.

The Terriers' 1-8 record and seven losses by 30 or more point might mask this illegal behavior, explaining perhaps why it has gone undiscovered by the all-knowing NCAA for so long.

BC head coach Dan Henning and athletic director Chet Gladchuk had better enjoy their moment in the media spotlight, because it is only a matter of time before BU outshines BC once again. This won't be the first or last time BU bests its neighbor.

Despite BC's intense efforts to woo him, David Letterman opted to take his show to BU's Tsai Performance Center and make "The Bar," a true Terrier, the most recognizable student in Boston.

Almost every BU hockey player can eat a full-course meal from their own personal Beanpot. After all, BU has 19 to choose from, including last season's, when the Terriers stomped the Eagles in the semifinals at the FleetCenter.

So the next time you see a BU football player cruising down Commonwealth Avenue in his 1997 Porsche, pat him on the back for having achieved something no BC player can.
