Streaking the Lawn:The real low down on UConn Football, as told by our friends at Syracuse

Stopped reading when he started blubbering that they have an all-time losing record against us. So much envy. Pathetic.

Quote / excerpt says it all....
The fact that the same UConn program has a winning all-time record against my alma mater still harms my psyche to this day.....This made my day!

1) we have more NC's in BB (4-1)
2) we have a winning record against them in FB (6-4?)
3) we have a 4,400 acre campus that isn't in an insignificant, decrepit, rust-belt city
4) academically, we're as good or better than they are
5) Storrs is a short drive from NYC and Boston; Syracuse is close to Buffalo and Albany
6) our FB stadium is 12 years old, their's is 36 (?) years old

I could go on for another hour ...

I can't wait to read this fool's take after Uconn hands The Cuse yet another loss. Every argument he makes about Uconn can easily be made about Syracuse. Orange Football is a joke, and that's from somebody who has witnessed it live 3 times in the last 8 years.

Yawn......

But it's the Harvard of CNY.

UConn doesn't have a rival - this coming from a Cuse fan in a league where no one north of North Carolina cares about the other teams? Like an annual grid iron affair vs Pitt is a rivalry?

Hilarious crap, where do these people find the time to amuse themselves?

But it's the Harvard of CNY.

D'Oh? Not Cornell? Colgate? Hamilton? Rochester? (well, OK, Rochester is WNY, but only 1 hr from Cuse).

They still have their T-Shirts!

Beyond all of that, UConn football is not much of a thing, though they did participate in the Fiesta Bowl following the 2010 season. Few outside of Storrs will ever acknowledge this occurred, and that includes the other “supposed” participant, Oklahoma.

This quote reminds me of the old Soviet Union propaganda against the US. In one they take a shot of a street in the Bronx and talk about the poverty in America. One Soviet citizen, who later defected, credits that picture as starting him down the road toward defection. As looked at the picture of the homes of the American poor, he saw car after car parked along the street. None of he or any of his friends had a car in the USSR, or any prospect of any getting one. Sometimes the truth creeps out through the propaganda.

If you are 'cuse fan reading the quote above, you should be thinking "wait they went to the Fiesta Bowl in 2010?"

Musings from the University of Southern Canada, how cute.

 

[sub legacy]

All I can say is they should be more worried about their own team winning some games.

LOL@Herbstreit: "Against FSU, Jackson needs to take the 7 yards and not look for a home run every play. This isn't Syracuse."

 

[NavinRJohnson]

And they got so upset when UCONN "ran up the score" in 2009 or 2010.
