Why is Jimmy Fallon a Syracuse fan?

[Alsacs]

This doesn't make sense.
He didn't go to SU right?

What a stupid question. The question is my friend, why isn't everyone else?

 

[Chip]

Maybe just representing NYS' college team?

Either way, that's not bad PR.

 

[OrangeDW]

He’s from NYC and grew up in the 80s though. I would imagine Syracuse basketball picked up a lot of fans with no connection to the school or city in that era due to Pearl and other fun to watch players, style of play, ESPN, etc.

 

[OburgOrange]

He's from Albany area

 

[sutomcat]

He is from upstate NY. Mentions Syracuse often on his show. Was a big fan of Rak.

He went to HS there. Born in Brooklyn. College at St. Rose. Just googled it.

I think it started when he saw Christmas wearing #25. I remember him talking about how hilarious that was. I'm not sure if he's actually a fan now but if he was before that he would have known about Christmas.

Edit: I just watched the video and maybe he is actually a fan now. I kind of want one of those sweatshirts.

There is an optometrist in Albany who is the most dead ringer for him that you could possibly imagine.

EXACTLY! NY kid that, in the end went to St. Rose in Albany. It's truly his home. Hey! Another reason to schedule UAlbany past 2021!

Tim Robbins wears Cuse stuff too.

Big Daddy. All Syracuse apparel, all the time.

Is he? He seems to pick a Northeast school for each movie, and wear their apparel. He wore UConn gear in Grown Ups.

Run with it. School should be keeping him happy offering premium seats to events in NYC metro area (and a few on campus)

That would only make perfect sense from a branding/marketing perspective, so ZERO chance SUAD figures that out.
