Message: [QUOTE="BlueMAB, post: 1748854, member: 920"] If you (or more specifically CL82) were honest, you'd recognize that our "state wide" appeal in Fairfield County isn't anywhere close to what we need it to be. And that the residents of FC, for a very long time, far more closely identify with NYC, than Hartford or UConn. And yes, I agree 100% that UConn has far more upside. But if you're going to be honest, we don't lack competition. If you want to be honest, we are competing not just with College Football, but with the Yankees, Sox, Giants, Pats, etc etc for media attention, and fan support. And that's why CL82's state line argument is so delusional. This media market that we like to tout as being so valuable, is a pro market. If you're going to be honest, then don't make fun of the fact that BCU is about the 6th most important team in Boston, and then scratch your head as to why UConn isn't getting more traction from P5 conferences due to the NYC DMA.
