Sportscenter highlights were literally 10 seconds long and they still found time to squeeze in "syracuse with a rare trip out of new york." Its comical at this point

Probably because none what you listed are road games.i usually don't get caught up in that stuff, but the graphic they showed with "true" road games over teh last 10 years pissed me off. It's just completely twisting the story. Ranked SD St. in SD THIS YEAR. UF in St Petersburg. Kansas in Kansas City. It's sort of their job to not blatantly mislead and this has gotten out of hand.
which is is true if your goal is to make a point and ignore context or reality. The reality is that we play good teams in their backyard. As a news and information outlet, it's their job to do better than this. Much of the audience knows nothing about Syracuse, so leading them in that way is blatantly misinforming them. I've always given them a break when they just speak about it offhand because it's anecdotal/subjective...but when they actually go to the trouble to create a graphic, they're consciously ignoring a big piece of the story.Probably because none what you listed are road games.

And there was the obligatory graphic during the game about the "true" road games we have played Oh Lord

And it's not that those were truly "road" games because they aren't, it's that our games at MSG are considered "home" games that kill me. Oh Lord

I think it's hard to beat your chest about "owning" NYC and the Garden and then complain the next day when ESPN treats your games there like a home game.

Agreed. But then doesn't Florida believe they own St. Pete? Nobody at ESPN was calling that game a Florida home game. Right? So I was just pointing out the hypocrisy on the other side of the coin.

I agree ...unfortunately I think it comes down to JB building a reputation over 30 years.
BTW, UF played Gtown, Wisconsin, and Marquette, play @FSU and @ Arizona.
It's not ignoring reality or context to say we don't play a lot of road games. We Play a lot of neutral site games, mostly in places where we enjoy a favorable alumni presence. But those aren't road games.
ESPN is right. Playing SDSU on a carrier is not even close to playing at Viejas. Playing KU in KC is not close to playing at Phog.
Like someone said; it is what it is. It balances itself out by playing in the BE. Though personally I'd prefer to return to the way we scheduled per 2003
Lawrence is a half hour drive from KC. Playing Kansas in KC is a road game, period.
And flying all the way across the country to play San Diego in San Diego is a road game, period. One team spent the night in their own beds and ate home cooking, the other didn't.

You're right...KC is 40 miles away.I agree with your first paragraph, but then your comment about KU is at odds with that thought. KC is in Kansas' back yard and was a hostile environment.
