Cyclone Fanatic site is incredibly sensitive

[tazclone]

As a Jayhawk, I appreciate the sentiment. Mizzou fans are the worst.

The guy from Ames doesn't like Lawrence? Lawrence is a fantastic college town. I had law school classmates at KU who went to ISU, and while they remained Cyclone fans, none of them would pick Ames over Lawrence. I sure as hell wouldn't pick Storrs over Lawrence, and it isn't close.

Like I said, ISU fans hate hok fans and most things Jayhawk. And never said I don't like Lawrence. Never been there. I did say most ISU fans won't have anything good to say about Lawrence. Has nothing to do withthe town. ISU fans just don't like KU.

So much to comment on here. Will have to fire up the laptop for the train ride home.

Iowa is not Nebraska...yikes. Nor is it the crap hole of ann arbor. You see this is what Iowan's talk about. Easterners thinking they can group the whole middle of the country into the same group.

Lol the crap hole that is Ann Arbor. Now you lost all credibility.

 

[tazclone]

I will take Jayhawk fans over Mizzou fans. Living in KC I get exposed to both.

mizzou fans no longer exist since they went to the SEC.

 

[tazclone]

Yeah. Living in San Diego, I totally get why someone would like Iowa or Hartford.

People mistakenly believe its sunny and blue skies every day here. It's not.

We're lucky to get 300 days a year like that.

That is what i miss most about Colorado. 300 days of sun

Lol. I embellished. But I live about 1.5 hrs. No exaggeration.

I define my home town of Somers as 90 minutes to The Black Rose and 2 1/2 hours to McSorley's ... and I am 0% Irish

A couple weeks ago I drove the family down to Conn., and we listened to a young adult book on tape called "The Witch of Blackbird Pond." It was cool because it was a 7 hour tape and we were almost finished when we decided to pull over and see Old Wethersfield on the way down to New Haven. Looked very nice. Anyone live there? Stopped for a soda at the pizza shop, but decided to make straight for Pepe's in New Haven (please, no pizza tangent!!!). Conn. really is for small town living.

I live right in Old Wethersfield. The history is cool but it's not a terribly thrilling place. I used to live in the southern portion of the state and probably would prefer living down that way again if my job wasn't in Hartford. New Haven > Hartford on almost every level.

Funny, I never met any Kansas fans that hated Iowa State. They didn't really even register behind Mizzou, KState, Duke, Nebraska and OU.

As for me, I'm a Hoiberg fan. Loved his game in college and really like what he's done at his alma mater. If UConn loses, I hope ISU goes to the final four.

 

[WestHartHusk]

I'm from Litchfield County. Still my favorite place on earth. But when I met Joe D'Ambrosio last year he told me that really wasn't CT.

Good lord, if Litchfield isn't Connecticut we might as well divvy the rest up between MA and NY.

It's a jealousy thing I don't mind KU but there are a lot of butt hurt ISU fans that hate KU.

I can be to Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Kansas City, St Loius Madison, Omaha in less than 5 hours? What's your point? I can fly round trip to Denver for $160, Pheonix for $200 and San Antonio for $300. And get there their quicker than you can get to Montreal. What's your point?

So one of your selling points is that you can get to Omaha, Minneapolis or Milwaukee in five hours?

Our biggest selling point is that you can't get to Omaha, Minneapolis or Milwaukee in five hours!

Ummm. Minneapolis is pretty cool.

 

[MattMang23]

Ummm. Minneapolis is pretty cool.

Yeah. I've heard that.

And I've heard Milwaukee is cool too.

But I've heard Boston and NYC are way cooler.

 

[whaler11]

Hartford does have one thing all these far away lands lack. UConn games.

 

[CTBasketball]

Am I the only one that prefers the northern part of the state in comparison to lower New Haven/Fairfield county?

Reading comprehension is hard. That wasn't a selling point. It was a "so what" point. Milwaukee is pretty damn fun. Guessing you have never been to the Old Market in Omaha....pretty fun. All large cities. All with things to do. Nothing is like New York, I get that but if you can't have fun in Omaha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City well then that is your fault. But then, I am 42 years old and staying up until 4AM doesn't interest me much anymore.

Like someone else stated, every place has their good and their bad.

New York has them as well

No. It's quieter. I hate people, so it's nicer up here.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

It was a joke, evidently Cyclone Fanatic isn't the only site that is overly sensitive.

Tazclone, you're 42? Bravo, I have nearly a dozen years on you.

 

[upstater]

Funny you should mention that. I live around the corner from Old Wethersfield. You should try Aroma Bistro next time you're in the area. You just missed it. It's nextdoor to Village Pizza.

I saw it!

 

[upstater]

That book is set in Old Wethersfield I think. Great area to stroll around, my ancient ancestors on my mom's side are under the first row of gravestones in back of the Congregational Church.

Duh. What an idiot I am. That's why I mentioned it and why we stopped at Old Wethersfield. Heh, I left that part out.

 

[August_West]

Lol the crap hole that is Ann Arbor. Now you lost all credibility.

Agreed, Ann Arbor is awesome!
When I used to travel to play ( left that life behind when it hit 30) it was pretty much my favorite place to play. It rocks, from a nightlife/ girls point of view at least.

NO

 

[SirHypeAlot]

I must have forgotten my manners when i made my way over to OB

aw shucks

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Hatford/West Hartford are alright.

New Haven isn't bad either.

Shoreline sucks as there's nothing to do and CT beaches suck.

Haven't spent enough time in Fairfield to comment.

Really the only draw to living in CT is the Huskies and I guess if you have a family.

I much prefer living in NYC.
