Saturday's marquee for a football game between Boston College and Connecticut probably reads like something out of a heavyweight boxing matchup between good and evil. A bitter border war for New England supremacy is straight out of Hollywood's central casting, and there aren't two better options to play either side of the rival factions or clans engaged in the centuries-long fight against one another. The storyline barely needs a scriptwriter, and the inherent drama included in "Boston College vs. Connecticut" is enough to fill a courtroom drama at the most personal level.
It's too bad, then, that the greater truth isn't that salacious.
