Why don't UCONN fans travel to RU?

[saladfingers]

No apathy for me. I love hating Rutgers. They are a good sports rivalry that I value. The tri-state rivalry extends beyond sports, hatable fans (I know this goes both ways), etc.

What's the tri-state? Oh, you mean NY, NJ and that other place only mentioned in car commercials.

Is your last name Sandusky?

Nope.

 

[formerlurker]

Nope.

Gotta admit, I have no wise-ass comeback to that. Damn you.

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Do I have any legal recourse that someone photoshopped my picture to make me look like a Rutgers fan?

Sorry I won't do it again.

Connecticut is so bland & devoid of personality no one even bothers with stereotypes. You truly are the 'Meh' state.

Born in NJ... my parents and extended fam all there... but grew up here in CT, and have remained... and all I can say is thank god I don't live in that god forsaken state of NJ.

(Though I'll also say that I know there's an NJ beyond the NJ Turnpike and that it's not bad to visit. My fiance had no idea that there was woods/farmland in NJ... she thought the whole state was Bayonne.)

Dear Mr. Tossed:

We like being the "Meh" state. You do realize that most of the puppetmasters pulling the strings on Jersey Shore & Real Houswives of NJ live in Connecticut, right? We control the stereotypes, you perpetuate them.

Every time I drive through Connecticut, I'm thinking about getting to Boston.

I usually take 84 from Connecticut, through NY and into Pennsylvania, then 81 South to avoid driving in NJ.

Thats a long way for you to be delivering pizzas.

If you're going to give a halfhearted effort, don't even try at all.

As someone who grew up in NJ and currently lives in CT, I'll say this: all of you are idiots.

Both states have way more in common than ignorant fools from either fanbase even realizes.

In a sports sense, both states have arrogant sports fans, with the the majority of the teams winning championships recently. As annoying as we think Rutgers and Syracuse fans are...guess what? They think the same about us.

In terms of bad areas? I love it when CT people talk trash on NJ being a dump. For every Newark, Bayonne, East Orange, Irvington there's a Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, New London and Willimantic. There's huge dumps everywhere.

CT has great areas and NJ has great areas. There's nice towns in both place. The Jersey Shore is way nice than the LI Sound, but both places do have their bright spots.

So, for someone who was in North NJ for 18 years and CT for 8, to see this pissing match back and forth over such similar states makes me laugh. Some of you guys really need to get out of your parents basement in Wallingford and actually check out the world around you for a minute.

I think a better question to ask is why didn't RU travel well to Uconn for last year's game? I was there but if there were Rutgers fans in attendance they must have been pretty quiet. I didn't hear them cheer at all.

We brought like 5k to UCONN. We were so quiet because the team still hasn't shown up for that game. What an ass-whipping.

No but seriously, I dont live in Wallingford...........

I respect your honesty, welcome to the Boneyard. You'll see we allow both honest RU fans like yourself as well as the worst of the RU flamers. I look forward to your future posts no matter how pro-RU they are. I wish I could visit the RU boards but I've been banned from all of them for asking about your OOC scheduling the past 6-7 years. Enjoy your first true taste of open dialog, digs and pure vitriol between our respective fanbases. Keep it clean here and you should be OK to say your peace.

No wonder these people looked at me funny when I told them, "I'll be in the basement, DoggieStyle said it's cool".

Grandfather: "What's that again, Martha??"
Grandmother: "I said....that's when the stranger yelled up at me from the basement and said 'It's cool to DoggieStyle'!!"
Grandfather: "Did he shut the lights?!? I'm not made of money, Martha!"
