Mike Machnik's comments regarding the halcyon days of the Chiefs-Warriors
(and isn't that politically incorrect?) ring true.  The bottom line is,
however, that if the rivalry is one-sided, the fans on the down side WILL
lose interest.  I'm assuming that BC will make a comeback (what with all
their $$ and Conte Forum but  . . . . if they don't, look for BU fans to go
someplace else to spew their venom.  And, for all those who don't think it
can happen, BU and BC were once great rivals in football.
