getting tired of cuse is nyc team bull -cuse is a PRIVATE school, not the states team/school -its far away, much more than most local area schools. there not even local. -the best bball players from nyc area come to uconn because we win and get you to the nba. the same will be in fball soon enough. rutgers is close but they never win anything. temple and umass are closer to nyc then cuse.
'Cuse trying to ram down everyone's throats that they are NYC's school is like the cheesy person that tries to give THEMSELF a nickname. It doesn't work, and it just looks said to everyone around them the more they try and get the nickname to stick. "T-bone" anyone?! (Seinfeld....)
They are marketing NYC, good for them. Now, what are UConn and the NNBE going to do about it? Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
RU seems to identify with NYC as its state school more than SU... It's the closest out of all the Big East schools in the area ( UCONN, SU, Pitt, Temple, and RU )
I just saw a Yankee home run go over a sign at Yankee Stadium that said something like "Syracuse University....New York's College football" or something similar. Ugh.....
"Hey, look at George. He is giving it to T-bone. He is jumping up and down like some kind of monkey" obviously Syracuse is Coco in this metaphor. i know a lot of people from central NY and they don't really identify with NYC at all, so it's odd to me that Cuse tries to portray themselves as NYC's team. most of them think NYC is full of liberal nancies that they want nothing to do with. sometimes i almost think they'd like to give NYC to Jersey
Brandon Steiner, founder and CEO of Steiner Sports, who has a huge relationship w/ the Yankees is a Cuse alum. Probably gave up one of the Steiner ad spots to the Orange Juice.
u know, the banner really doesn't dig at me at all. its good for cuse but most ppl realize what a joke it is. what gets me is the new myth that nyc kids are in cuse territory. uconn should do 2 things and i will be the first to donate to each of these. 1) put up a billboard in the hood somewhere. maybe right over ruker or something that says "NYC is UConn Country" with pictures of kemba, omar wilbert etc. all the kids. maybe take it a step futher and make it kids we got to the next level from the area. thats getting the point across and giving cuse the finger at the same time. 2) put up a board just off the T between bc and bu somewhere. "Boston is UConn Country" with a few pics or w/e. then at the bottom write "donated by the Spazgene Family" this was probably done for 1/10th the price...was more effective and really s with both fan bases. how much does a normal billboard cost anyway? lol
While we're talking NYC / NY state... how crazy would it be if all the SUNY's, or at least the big 4, had been amalgamated together in NYC or on the Hudson somewhere nearby? Say, beginning in the late 1800s... that would have been a monster university and a monster football program. I guess you could say the same thing about the UC's (UCLA, Berkeley, SD, etc.) but NY is not as huge geographically so it might be more feasible. What could have been...
A prominent NYC high school coach told me that the inner city kids in New York identify far more with UConn basketball than Syracuse basketball. But for whatever reason that doesn't translate to football.
Why not rent a banner in Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill saying "Alumni Stadium is UConn Country". It could have a subtitle: "Conte Forum is UConn women's bball country"
its happening right now. the random # in my head for this class will be 5 nyc kids. its a guess but it may happen. we are nyc. we get nyc kids to the next level. p realizes what he needs to do in nyc just like in ct. we are making major progress.
thats a insult to our womens team. how about "conte forum, where uconn mens puck will soon be playing thanks to gene"
There is no way SU can wrest the title of NYC's team away from Yeshiva University. Their matzo balls are way better than anything SU can offer and anyone from the Bronx to Staten Island damn well knows it.
