Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 2309471, member: 668"] Dead on. Years ago...when I was in school (SUNY Buffalo) I remember going to a couple of 'Cuse games at the old Buffalo Auditorium. SU played Canisius and SU & JB were repeatedly booed, you would've thought SU was G'town. It was unreal. Once you get west of Rochester, SU is foreign for the most part. Utica/Rome is SU friendly, but as you say, once you hit the Albany area it generally isn't. The North Country has their fair share of fans that bleed Orange, but the population is relatively sparse as are the disposable incomes. It's a unique dilemma when considering SU is the only D1 school playing football. Here in the Carolina's, the vast majority of folks are either NCST or UNC fans. SC, it's either USC or Clemson and it does have a ton to do with that built-in affiliation you mention. [/QUOTE]
