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.

Grandpa, you're playing with the keyboard again. Ask MiMi to hand you the remote.

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.

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.

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!"

NJ - the state that has propped up the entire fake stone veneer industry.

I think you're confusing us with Lawn Guyland.

Connecticut: The Bermuda Triangle of the 'Tri-State area'. Whatever that is.

I think we had a stupid tagline like "4th in the North" back then too.....

What's up, old me?! I miss you, you son of a bitch!
Expand ...

lol. Yeah, that was tagline the CA hung up in the study lounge / elevator lobby on our floor.

God damn...I miss that place!

I dont why. We traveled well to Army.

People forget that game when they talk about UConn away game attendance - we traveled over 3k easy, there was a fleet of UConn travel buses (I think it was around 10, set up by our worldtek friends). Nice place to watch a game, friggin nightmare of a traffic situation on the way home. It was probably our 4th best non-bowl attendance after Michigan, ND, Maryland. BC in 2003 was pretty good(probably between 2-3k), we didn't fill the visitors section but the end zone I sat in was over 50% husky fans.

Yeah, old man is ready to move out of NJ, but there's corruption everywhere, so good luck finding the "least bad" option!

I think that response was for me, CT. Your Pop said most corrupt "State". I replied with what about Chicago, DC and LA, non of which are states.
 
At least in Connecticut the corruption is mostly confined to Waterbury. Mostly.
