LOL at Uconn

[SmilinBob]

getting tired of cuse is nyc team bull ****​

-cuse is a PRIVATE school, not the states team/school​

-its far away, much more than most local area schools. there not even local.​

-the best bball players from nyc area come to uconn because we win **** and get you to the nba. the same will be in fball soon enough. rutgers is close but they never win anything. temple and umass are closer to nyc then cuse.​

Thanks. Seems like the good doctors plan is going quite well.

One thing to remember: Our NYC area alumni basically suck for football support. It is one thing to bring in 10-15k to MSG to watch a Top Ranked Cuse team...where they suck is bringing more than 10-15k to watch the FB team in NYC. They are pro fans with frontrunner mentalities and only come out if they think it is an event. A huge difference from Cuse fans and fans I've met around the country regarding football support. BTW, CNY fans are basically the same.

People on this board are not the problem...it is your coworker who works in midtown with you and laughs when you ask if you want to go see Cuse play USC.

Cuz they're too busy coding their derivative software to skirt the Volcker rule.

Couldn't agree more. TGD miscalculated and listened to NYC fans who were FOS.

The poster is like a lot on this board who do not know the difference between "then" and "than".

The question is, will they show up after the program has been rejuvenated and is regularly at/near the top of its ACC division & ranked?

If they don't, then the Meadowlands Experiment will be cut short or only take place every 4 years.

I love the one post where supposedly a well known NYC area coach says that the NYC kids identify more with UConn than with Syracuse. Really? I see no evidence of that. Maybe he was referring to the bad kids who fence stolen computers?

On the other hand, if Marrone wants to grab more big time kids from downstate and Jersey, having a big time game played in their backyards could be an advantage. It sucks for us CNY fans, but that may have played a part in the decision to play outside of the Dome.

We're committed to PSU in 2013, and ND in 2014 and 2016.

After that, I'm not convinced we'll ever see 10 games starting in 2019. We agreed to the deal back when we needed 5 OOC games a year, now we only need 3.

Besides, if the MetLife people don't like the attendance, all bets are off.

Right on mark, you have motivated me to send my "bball only" crew a message as they all bailed on the USC game thats right in our backyard

I tend to organize all the game trips for my friends and they are on their own now for bball until they start coming out on saturdays for football. No rides in the car, no acquiring tickets/hotels, nada.


Its a freakin half hour to Metlife! Bunch of cowards and posers the lot of them!

Agreed. The other thing is, the deal was made when the football program was living hand to mouth in a revenue starved Big East conference. Getting a cash guarantee to schedule a game in NJ for $1 million (or whatever was promised) was a no brainer.

Moving to the ACC changes that...we know the football and basketball teams will be solidly in the black each year no matter what.

I think the bigger worry now is whether the AD offices will move ACC home games/primo OOC games to MSG and if so, how often this will happen. Let's face it, it has already been happening for years...how many top OOC opponents have we played in the Dome in the last 5 years compared to in MSG in early season tournaments?

I love the "they're not a big flagship public/state school!" argument, as if we live in a part of the country where that has ever even mattered. Seven of the eight Ivies were established before a single SEC school even enrolled their first student. Education in the Northeast has been centered around private schools since before we were even recognized as a country. People need to realize that you can't simply take the lessons of big-time Southern football and apply it to other regions of the country (especially the oldest region in the country) as if we don't have any sort of regional or cultural differences. Just because everybody in Georgia roots for UGA, it doesn't mean everybody in Connecticut is going to root for UConn or everybody in Massachusetts is going to root for UMass. Even if it did, I fail to see how that helps an argument that people in New York would root for UConn.

As a somewhat unrelated point, this whole "plant a flag in a region and the people will come!" fallacy is one of the biggest things wrong with the Big East right now, as they go about their wrong-headed pursuit of collecting "markets."

I wonder if the ACC would ever schedule a non-league game at MSG between Duke and Syracuse? It would make for great TV and the CNY'ers shouldn't complain as much.

Living in Southern CT I can tell you first hand that most in Fairfield County (suburb of NYC) could care less about UConn unless they are an alum. Their support is mostly in mid and northern CT --- north of New Haven. That's about 50% of a very small state.

I think you're vastly underestimating certain CNY'ers love of complaining. ;-)
