Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 281590, member: 780"] I spent some time in Fayetteville, AR and the surrounding area of NW Arkansas two years ago in the week before the Arkansas v. Florida game. The difference between that area and CNY relative to interest in college football is so huge, so vast that it defies description. The upcoming game is on everybody's mind and in every conversation. You can't buy gasoline without discussing it with the cashier. You can order a meal without going over Arkansas prospects with the waitress. ALL business conversations begin and end with a review of plans for the game for the weekend. Maybe, maybe you might compare it to the excitement in Syracus the night of the 2003 NCAA Championship game against Kansas. But in Arkansas, it's every week in football season and for months ahead of time. Being in increasingly sollege football indifferent CNY is not a plus for the SU program. Selling 35,000 seats and having 25,000 actually show up is what we have. [/QUOTE]
