Talk:Boston College–UMass football rivalry

1899 game
There seems to be a discrepancy in the records about the alleged 1899 game. The matchup is listed in the BC Football media guide (record book) on page 177, under 1899 there is an undated game (between 10/26 and 11/4) with an 18-0 result against Massachusetts. The link can be found here: https://bceagles.com/documents/2020/9/3/2020_Record_Book_.pdf The 1899 season results on the BC webpage also lists the game: https://bceagles.com/sports/football/schedule/1899

However in the UMass media guide, the game is not listed under their 1899 season, see page 32 here: https://umassathletics.com/documents/2020/8/11/20_FB_Record_Book.pdf

One news sources list the first meeting as 1901, here: https://www.recorder.com/Notes-from-the-sideline-19857649 However a reputable database site lists the 1899 meeting: http://www.winsipedia.com/games/boston-college/vs/umass

Should it simply be noted that the existence of an 1899 meeting is disputed? Mushh94 (talk) 02:57, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
