Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4312933, member: 1329"] Nobody thinks this. The analogy isn't about program quality, it's about primacy of rivalries and not being symmetrical. Syracuse - Gtown, Syracuse - UConn. UConn - Syracuse, UConn - Providence Providence - UConn, Providence - URI. Thus Providence is to UConn (secondary rivalry) as UConn is to Syracuse (secondary rivalry). Just because we're not Syracuse's primary rival doesn't mean they think we're the little brother. It's just that they have someone they hate more, just as we have someone we hate more than Providence. We happen to also think Providence is a little brother, but an analogy doesn't mean it's an exact copy of a relationship, just similar. [/QUOTE]
