So is Syracuse to a Utican their hometown team? or is the good team 50 miles west they root for since they have no other choice?

You have to remember that Utica College was founded and owned by SU in 1946 until 1995. SU degrees were awarded to graduates.

Growing up your fandom support was given to Yankees, the Giants, and SU.

...and the Syracuse Nats and the Clinton Comets!

Nats was a little before my time. It was Knicks in my house and Mohawk valley comets in the 80's if memory serves

If you spent time in Ventura's, you had to be a Yankees fan. My grandmother lived in Whitesboro and was a huge SU fan.

Utica? If you show up at a tailgate, Chicken Riggies and Half Moon cookies please.

And the fresh tomatoe pie. Always a hit with people who have never had it.

My buddy is from Utica and he made me try Wisniowka. He gets when he goes back up there.


Welcome to the real party fellas. A few words of wisdom this is a great board but after a loss in anything can be a little over the top.

I would love a boeheim stein!

Thanks for the mostly warm welcome
Living in Bethesda, MD these days and enjoyed the big tailgate for the recent SU-UMD football game with SUfaninNJ. Looking forward to the men's hoops team coming through town in February...

"Half-moons originated in Utica, New York at Hemstrought's Bakery in the early part of the 20th century.'

My favorite however, are Pastaciotti (aka "Pusties")

I can say growing up in Utica,we bled orange,so yes without a doubt! As kids,we 'd take bus trips through school or church groups for games at the dome all the time.

A tomato pie from Roma's is mandatory for every tail gate!

You guys should get Palateiri Joe's to cater a tailgate next year.
