Actually Columbus, Ohio is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and definitely has more jobs and such than upstate NY:
Columbus now one of the fastest growing cities in the United States
Columbus is now bigger than San Francisco, according to the Census Bureau. The city is growing quickly and the latest numbers released Thursday show the growth isn't slowing down. The Census Bureau released its list of the 15 fastest growing cities and Columbus was the only to make that list...abc6onyourside.com
While I miss home of Upstate New York I dont miss the snow and the stupid high taxes. I support the Orange while living 11 hours away and will continue to do so, however New York is suffering from flocks of young and old leaving and Im not sure what will change that trend.
If UW is a Volkswagen and we are a Ferrari, why did Hopkins trade down? If he wins in Seattle the crowds will follow as they did when Seattle took an NBA title. I used to live in Seattle and know it a lot better than your one nighter. The franchise was greedy and wanted the City to foot the entire bill for a new arena. The new team owner kept it a secret that he planned to move the team.
Why did Hop trade down?
Correct.
Thanks man, I thought that was the case. That is the kind of man Hop is. Let him enjoy his family out in Washington. We should look elsewhere unless things change for him but here is to hoping things don't change for a long time. Best of health and luck to him and his family.Correct.
The personal reason Mike Hopkins left SU to go to Washington
"This was my decision to come here for a lot of different reasons. More personal than others," Hopkins says.www.syracuse.com
He has proven that he can recruit at UW. If he under-performs he is less attractive to us. If he outperforms there is little reason for him to depart. That ship has sailed.
I fixed what you wrote.
300k? What am I doing with my life
Tucson is not as extreme as Phoenix, where my fiance lives, and the house we are buying is at significant altitude. Phoenix is having a summer long drought and deadly heat wave; over 110 every day. Not fit for man or beast. We are keeping the Juneau house and boat. Unfortunately, Corona has been going strong both in AZ and now in AK. Juneau has lots of seasonal fish processing workers and miners that come from all-over the lower 48 to work in shifts while housing in dormitories. They are now having outbreaks. If I was the AZ HS player that we are recruiting Syracuse would seem pretty attractive compared to the desert.
Even though the Seahawks are a sell-out, so are UW football games. Winning brings fans. The reverse is also true. If our team collapses less fans will show up. Pro towns are large enough to also support college teams but they must be winners. Losers like Rutgers and Boston College would have poor attendance regardless of location.
