Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1763350, member: 652"] I highly doubt the people clamoring for this game have actually went to UConn-Syracuse games in CT. They have a real nasty portion of the home fanbase towards Syracuse fans. I have no problem with rivalry games but UConn fans are the most thin skinned, seeking validation fans in the nation. Teams like Providence and St. John's want to be UConn's BB rivals but UConn doesn't care about them. UConn fans expected Syracuse to have its back on realignment when we never owed them anything. We were the only old Big East FB school not to attach ourselves to UConn's stupid lawsuit against the ACC in 2003. This game is more beneficial to Connecticut than it is to Syracuse. I hope with the change in the AD and chaos that followed that this contract is not signed and this game is shelved down the road. We could play pretty much any Northeast school at MSG and not have to deal with that fanbase. [/QUOTE]
