OT: Do I Troll in Unfriendly Territory?

[RichCTBB]

This should be an announcement, not a question. Go in there shouting “5 is greater than 1”!!! And then spit on the Syracuse mascot if you see it.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Do Syracuse fans know how to read?

Do Syracuse fans know how to read?

They certainly don't understand math.

 

[Yardigan]

You have non national championship shirts that you wear?

 

[HuskyNan]

He'll get over it soon since it's almost time for that season for the sport played with the brown pointy ball. Then very few fans of The Ewe will even remember basketball season.

I'm CT born and raised, but I've lived down here for 25+ years. I like living in South Florida . . . but it took some getting used to.

Can Miami fans possibly be worse than UCF fans? They still fly their “Unofficial National Champs” flags

 

[NoVaHusky]

I fly a 3' x 5' UCONN flag here in a neighborhood of Terp fans at my house between DC and Baltimore.

They talk about their natty, ask me about ours and I love to ask, "which one, we got 5!"

 

[Hey Adrien!]

I'm visiting my wife's family in Syracuse today. Do I wear my UConn 2023 National Champions shirt?

I've never been to Syracuse, but if I did, I would 100% wear UConn gear.

I had a chance to visit Syracuse back in December w/ my wife to see the girl she used to nanny who was then starting her freshman year at Syracuse. The plan was to catch the Syracuse/Georgetown game, which is a totally appropriate time to rep UConn gear.

We ended up getting covid and the girl ended up getting to her senses, dropping out of Syracuse after one year (why spend an absurd amount of money on a meh school when you could join the family business without the need to attend college?)

IMO, it's different than wearing NY sports gear in Boston or Philly. That's a troll move.

One time in Philly, I forgot I was wearing a NYR hat and when we were checking into a relatively nice hotel. The front desk person recommended me to keep my hat off during our stay. I thought she was joking, but she was dead serious out of concern for your security, better to be safe.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Um, he’s a big guy - and a lawyer.

Lots of swamp land down there and open water too.
Gator bait or shark bait.

 

[Waquoit]

Gator bait

If you're talkin' gator bait, you're talkin'...

Philly has to be the trashiest large city in the country.

I wear my UConn sweatshirt all the time here in San Diego (rare rainy day here this spring, so I made sure I got a pic). I had several people tell me I was brave shortly after the tournament.. but all in good fun!

How long have you been in PB? I walked from the pier all the way past Mission Beach down to the volleyball courts and back with my girl the morning of the SDSU-Creighton game, and watched the game at 710. I was wearing UConn because of course we had just beat Miami. Got 4 friendly call-outs on that walk

Hard disagree.

I have lived in San Diego for 40 years or so... SDSU is my second favorite team, since they are local and on TV... but of course I was rooting for the Huskies.... I live 4 blocks from the pier... do you live out here?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Hard disagree.

Name a trashier city of over 1 million

I just moved back to the Northeast (from NJ but now in Cheshire, likely going to settle somewhere outside Hartford) a couple weeks ago but was downtown for 7 years. First 3 by Seaport Village, the last 4 in Little Italy. PB is cool but was never for me as a day-to-day and night-to-night place to be.

What a crummy “spring” we had this year. It was arguably nicer back here!

I feel bad they have to live in Syracuse.

 

[Kolumbo]

Wear all your UConn garb because syracuse folk love UConn eh. Some guy started a thread in which he proferred that SU-Georgetown was the best big east rivalry and it turned into a thread about UConn. It's OC at its finest in south Canada. I mean, the very first reply was a reference to UConn. It's Glorious.

Conference Rivalries

Was just having this discussion with someone. What, in your opinion are the biggest rivalries in college sports for each conference now or in the past. Pac 12 (UCLA-USC in football) Big 10 (Ohio State-Michigan in football) ACC (Duke-UNC in basketball) SEC (Auburn-Alabama in football) ??? Big...
