Being a Boston University fan myself, the Boston Globe can be very
biased toward the other Boston school down the street (BC).  There
were several time in the past where BU would win a very important
game, and BC would lose, and BC would get the front page of the
section, and the BU game would be tucked away in the middle of the
section.
 
Some may say that the Globe and BU don't get a long with each other.
*shrug*  All I know is that it irked me to see a good hockey team not
getting the respect it deserved by the Globe.
