Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1180134, member: 652"] I am 29 years old and while I don't remember the height of the SU-Gtown rivalry they are the historical greatest rival of Syracuse. UConn filled a void because JT Jr. Declined and Escherick was great. UConn was a good team but I never hated them like Gtown. The Big East when they had stupid divisions never had Syracuse and UConn in the same division because SU valued Gtown rivalry. Hating UConn was about hating Calhoun and their fanbase has problems with the fact they are stuck in the American. UConn is a great program but they are part of the past. I am a Red Sox our greatest rival was always be the Yankees but recently we have a lot of problems and a rivalry with the Tampa Rays. Just because the Rays have been bigger rivals recently doesn't make them the Red Sox top rival. I don't like UConn but I see absolutely no benefit in playing them home/home if they wanted to play MSG in a Jimmy V Classic maybe but not in Connecticut. [/QUOTE]
