Forget the half eaten pomegranate sorbet, (worse than crack)... two times I've been asked if I was a drummer and I live in Rochester. :bang:

 

[OrangeSky]

The drums in your link are pretty decent drums, actually...SUball

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Roch is not an SU town. Amerks, Sabres, Bills, Rhinos and Wings.

 

[cusetown1]

There was only drummer at Syracuse and his name was Rastaman.

It may not be an SU town, but there are a lot of SU fans there.

My perception is that the larger upstate cities -Albany, Rochester, Buffalo - don't have a huge percentage of the population that follow Syracuse. But when you get into the little towns, it's easy to find a Syracuse fan. It's been years since I lived in the Capital region, but it was easier to find the Syracuse game on in a bar in Copake or Little Falls than it was in the city of Albany.

Right percentage-wise. Rochester and Buffalo have a ton of Cuse fans but certainly not nearly as much as Syracuse. I just played ball against a kid from the Albany area. He noticed I put on a Cuse shirt after the game. We had a nice conversation, relating to each other about growing up in New York State and living in the Sanfrancisco Bay Area. Then he told me "yeh, I've always hated Syracuse. Hate them with a passion. I'm a Siena fan". I laughed out loud and pondered. Was there a rivalry before I was born? Did Dave Bing shun an offer from Siena to attend Syracuse? I wonder if he would have noticed if it was a Pearl shirt.

I fondly recall SU putting a monumental beating on Siena in Manley back in the day...

Wasn't it 144 to 70something?

 

[Orange Barrel]

I remember Beat Siena Week on WAER. Always worried it would jinx us and we'd be embarrassed with a horrible loss. Nah. Didn't happen.

Yup, "Beat Siena Week" was a big deal when I was a frosh on the Mount. It was always a tongue-in-cheek type thingy whereas we vowed to treat the Siena Game like we would a GTown, SJU, or Nova game.
No chance Siena was ever gonna win, but it was kinda fun- in an annoyingly arrogant sorta way, to treat Siena in that manner. As I recall, they didn't take much offence to it at the time, and were kind of in on the joke.

Rochester is definitly a Syracuse town if you are talking college sports. Most folks, and I mean overwhelmingly, most folks in Rochester root for SU. There is no close second. I would say there are as many or more SU fans as there are Amerks and Red Wings fans.

How can you? It's the only reason I read the thread.

Have you ever tried to take a picture in the mirror with the camera in your right hand and a half eaten Pomegranate sorbet in your left hand starting to drip on your shoes? Not a piece of cake my friend...

I think you might be the first person to ever do that.

Do you look like this guy, Mark Conti, super-fan, sits courtside? He lives in Rochester, plays drums for a great old bluesman Joe Beard.

I do know a guy named Mark Conti but the guy doesn't look like the guy above.. He's married to my wife's 2nd cousin and they live in Canesteo or Hornell I believe.

Here's Mark, the uber-Orange fan and drummer from Rochester, sans wig.

Richard, the least you could do is cover up your icon's not-so-privates.
Good new icon, though.
I laughed out loud.

And love the orange drum kit.

Nope different Mark Conti..

When I saw the title of the thread I thought for sure you met some Yukon fans from the Boneyard.
