Where near Rochester? My buddy and I live in Rochester suburbs and have been going to games for about 15 yrs. Good to be a SU football fan again. We make a day of it. Armoy Square before or after the game. fun times when winning.

49 Things People From Upstate New York Love

I am in the process of moving my family from Mississippi (where I am a Mississippi State fan) to just outside of Rochester. I will still cheer for State, but I'm too much of a college sports fan to not cheer for a team, especially football and basketball. Syracuse seems like the obvious choice to cheer for. So what can you share about Syracuse, including tips for attending games?

You’ve come to the right place. This board is one of the best.

We will be on the other side of Rochester, so sadly it will be about 2 hours drive. We also have 3 year old twins, so my wife doesn't let us out of the house much, but I hope to maybe take my oldest (6 years old to at least 1 game). I'm a preacher, so it can't be a night game. Thanks for the advice. I take it I need to learn to hate Rutgers?

You don't need to hate Rutgers. Chances are you will. Regardless, Rutgers is the gift that keep son giving in that they mess up everything, to a scale beyond belief. Hollywood isn't this creative, proving truth is stranger than fiction.

Learn lacrosse.

Not at all. You won't need to put any effort into "learning", it'll be pretty instinctual.

We would never ask a man of the cloth to hate,...when you see a group of them just do something like this Preacher...You will feel strangely better for it...honestly..

Rutgers made the mistake of getting good when we went bad, so we don't like them.

They weren’t actually all that good though. Just average beyond one season. But they thought they were good.

Don't worry about Rutgers.

Rutgers' offense was having the temerity to suggest we were their rival.

After 100 years of having no almost no football program (or athletic program) to speak of they got competitive in football for a brief period.

Rutgers fans decided that SU should be their rival. Having never had a rival before, they weren't exactly sure what one looked like. But they thought that if SU could be their rival, they could sort of hitchhike on our tradition. Because we were in a down period, many SU people found this beyond insulting. (No matter how "down" we were, we had not fallen to the level of having a school with the absyml history of Rutgers as a "rival"!)

It might be sort of like UAB announcing that Mississippi State was their rival. So the very long Dumpster Fire on here is really all about derision for their puffed-up brief period of football competitiveness.

This should be pinned as the opening post in the Rutgers Dumpster Fire thread. Perfectly states their place in the landscape of college sports, especially as it relates to SU.

And we didn't like it because we stopped being good.

They sound like Southern Miss. My heart kind of goes out to UAB. The good old boys from Bama apparently tried to do away with UAB's football program because recruits were starting to look at UAB a little more. Btw, I'm not supposed to hate, so just let me say that I can't stand Alabama!!! Ok, I feel better now. Maybe I can get some sleep to preach tomorrow.

I don’t get the whole “move-away-from-home-and-root-for-the-new-team” deal that some are able to pull off. God bless you. Need more local support.

As a Veteran, I was stationed in many places. I never gave up my favorite team, Syracuse, yet I learned to enjoy several other teams because that was what was available. There wasn't much of a selection of sports to watch, a few national games and the local games. This was pre- ESPN2 and beyond, Fox Sports, etc. Today, we can get whatever games we want, back then it was what was available. And ND locked up one game every week, which stunk! Anyway, if you wanted football, you watched what was available.

Hey man, about to be 4-0 with a cupcake over Rutgers. New york footballs looking good

Army looking good too, relatively speaking. When's the last time NY's programs were collectively doing this well?

Here’s a couple things to look into, or to research.
Snow...and lots of it, invest in a shovel and snowblower.
Leaves!!! GET THE RAKE!
Dinosaur BBQ, nationally known.
Hoffman’s hotdogs and Cooneys.
Fail foliage driving up 81, 481, 690.
It’s gets very hot in the summer, central air.
Explore the 1000 island region, from
Cape Vincent to Alexandria Bay.
Lacrosse! Head Heart Hustle. HHHH
Oswego sub shop - has to include this place.
We don’t take kindly to Uconn basketball because “dey lef with a bad taste of Uconn dey moufs”
Marsh01 can explain this a lot more simpler than me.

TexanMark can leave you with a good idea about what there is to do and see.
Also everyone else can add to the list.
