Re: Rivalries Lost
Syracuse-G'Town is going to be a big rivalry lost from the basketball side of things.

Everyone was lamenting how BTCFB money has fucked everything.
Funny - how none of them even knew Kansas - Mizzou was a rivalry....
Not surprising they didn't know much about college football outside their region. Despite the huge population density in the north east they don't give a rats ass about college football. I wonder how many of those Pitt fans you spoke to have been to a Pitt football game in the last 10 years?
PSU is the lone exception.

Re: Rivalries Lost
I lived in NY until I was 19 and college football was like a blip on the radar. It really hasn't changed all that much today. Agree about PSU being the big name up there, at least it was when i was growing up.

Re: Rivalries Lost
College football gets less run here than high school sports. To the extent there are college football fans here, most are either Penn State or ND fans. Pitt was a big deal when I was a kid, but they were a national power back then, which isn't the case anymore. People pay attention to Syracuse when they have a decent season, but lately those have been few and far between.MuchoBulls wrote:I lived in NY until I was 19 and college football was like a blip on the radar.

Re: Rivalries Lost
I lived in both Boston and Philly since college and neither of those cities knew a damn thing about college football. Went to games in both places and always purchased tickets at the gate and always had great seats.
