I will update this after this weekends games. May the best team win! --136.167.103.213 23:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I have never heard of the term "Green Line Rivalry," even though I lived in Boston for 12 years and was affiliated with BU for 5 years. Does anyone outside of BU or BC use this term? If not, it isn't notable, since you need a third party source that references it. A BU newspaper wouldn't qualify as third party. On Google, I could find no use of the term outside of college papers and sites that scraped this article.

This should probably be merged, as a subsection in the relevant BC and BU articles. Djcastel 14:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Technically The Daily Free Press is a third party, independent of the university itself. BigKennyK 03:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge it with Beanpot. --Bud 07:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Bad idea, since this term is used for more than just the Beanpot. In fact it is still used for sports other than hockey. I will make some edits/add some sources to reflect this. 90.27.71.69 22:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

The term has been used by the Boston Herald - http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/results.html?st=advanced&QryTxt=\"Green+Line+Rivalry\"&By= BigKennyK 13:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Also found refs in the Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/sports//packages/beanpot/1991.htm), ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=2401000), scout.com (http://providence.scout.com/a.z?s=425&p=2&c=76102). Also, it is referred to distinct from the Beanpot in this book (http://books.google.com/books?id=qeBJur7oC1cC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA20&dq=%22green+line+rivals%22&source=web&ots=J93zBzT9hZ&sig=7EDMI6tJN_uWEqtI8z-ohKSFYI0#PPA11,M1).

[edit] Battle of Boston

I have heard this rivalry called the Battle of Boston. Shouldn't that be mentioned here too? 205.172.21.153 18:20, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, in fact I suspect "Battle of the Commonwealth" is a typo, since that refers to BC's rivalry with UMass. I'll make the edit. Loudandtrue (talk) 01:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bubcprogrambig.jpg

Image:Bubcprogrambig.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
