Message: [QUOTE="MCuse44, post: 27471, member: 282"] Its a serious question. A lot of comments on this board portray the locals/townies as some sort of depressed loser breed of poor people living in a ghetto slum. That disconnect is ming boggling to me. People were told to get a life and they did. Whats wrong with following professional athletes on teams like the yankees and bills? Its clear as day to me that we will never be anything until the Hill (and i hate to break it to people but theres more then 1 in syracuse) fixes the disconnect between the univeristy and the broader community. And simply put the University is nothing in big time athletics without the community. I dont care how many times you condense the preferred seats to make the middle of the dome look better. The bottom line is people arent going. And if its not those world class alumni who stay in syracuse and produce tons of great jobs, that leaves those poor uneducated townies. [/QUOTE]
