I'll buy that, Sean...I never listened to BU football games except via 
WTBU; my guess on WROL and WCRN are vague memories that the BU hockey games 
were on those stations and guessing that the football might've been there too.

Sad as it is, the BTUFF (Boston Terriers United For Football - the Terrier 
is BU's mascot) web site is STILL active, although the datestamp on the 
bottom of the homepage is December 1998.
