A big thing I always felt with SU and all their sports having a large fan base was due to upstate NY not having pro teams.  Like in major sports I assume a lot of you are Buffalo Bills fans? Like ppl who live in NYC or Long Island like myself  are either Jets, Giants, Mets, Yankees, Islanders, Rangers, Knicks or Nets fans.  We have so many pro sports teams around us. You guys upstate don't have all those options to root for so SU is like ur pro team i always thought?  I don't know for sure but I always kind of felt like that and that's why SU has so many fans for Bball, football and Lax.                                  SU lax with the history like myself I grew up watching the Gaits / Powells exc.. so I became a Cuse fan for lax.  Especially we don't have a big time lax programs around here so I loved SU as a kid.  I always rooted the local teams like Stonybrook and Post/ LIU as a lot of friends played Lax there so I was around the program for many yrs but their not big time programs that I could watch on TV and NCAA tourny. .                           
I stopped following Hofstra when Joe Amplo went there as I once mentioned on here him and his bro were such arrogant idiots in HS. I knew him from playing football against him and played with him on HS All Star team.  So then him, his bro and some of their friends crashed our after prom party and Amplo cracked a beer bottle and sliced my friends arn with it. He paid for it tho my boy was a LB at Ithaca and an animal so few weeks later he knocked on Amplos door and asked his mom if Joe was home. Joe came to the door and he dragged him out of the house and beat him up on on his front lawn in front of his mom. Haha it was awesome.
He was a great lax player but such a jerk I stopped rooting for Hofstra once he went there.  Lmao
So am I correct?  SU has a big following in all sports due to not having major pro sports teams close by to root for? I'm curious now if I was right all these yrs thinking this. It makes sense but I could be completely wrong. Lol
