Cornell vs ND is apparently the opening act for the Manhasset vs Shorham Wading River game

who wrote this headline? Old Westbury is like an hour from nyc unless you live in floral park.

Old Westbury is my old backyard.  Very odd to see it hosting.  Great idea for L.I. market penetration, however.

Many are geographically challenged. A fraternity brother from Five Towns on the Island met a woman at one of our mixers:

He: So, where you from?
She: White Plains
He: Upstate, huh.

I'm not sure he was joking or serious.

Every place north of The Bronx is Upstate.

This is the correct answer.

New York in tres partes divisa est: The Island, The City, and Upstate.

Causes upstaters an identity crisis as to how one defines upstate. That or your location makes you look down on people not quite as upstate as you are. I'm from Rochester and that's definitely upstate. (People in Plattsburgh would say "Western New York." ) My wife's great-something grandmother was regarded as the first baby born in Lake Placid (this history ignored Native Americans). Our son works in Canton. So who's more upstate? Some measure in degrees latitude (Barnhardt Island, northeast of Massena, in the St. Lawrence River.) Others measure by miles removed from NYC.

No place can be upstate if there's commuter rail service to NYC.

You are upstate if your Assembly candidates campaign, "Elect me and I'll keep those downstaters from robbing us blind." Downstate candidates would say the opposite, maybe use "farmers" as a geographical location. And they'd be right: Metro NYC throws off so much wealth, some captured as taxes, that without it upstate would be in the lower half of US average income. Lately, Kodak, Xerox, Carrier, Buffalo steel mills, Mohawk Carpets, they've done bupkis relative the to pirates on Wall Street.

I hit the NY trifecta - born in The City (well, Queens), grew up on The Island (Roslyn), went to Cornell, and retired to Upstate (Rochester).

we had one growing up too

[dag14]

I had one in my house for 30+ years.  It now lives in Chicago with my adult son, class of 2004.

#7 in the pre-season polls, for what it's worth.

Also, let the RPI/SOS madness begin. From a Cornell schedule perspective, Lehigh loses a close one to Rutgers, Penn State loses to (a not very good?) Colgate, Denver comes back and beats JHU in hilarious fashion, Ohio State also comes back to win against the Utes, and Syracuse crushes Vermont.

[Trotsky]

Sounds like this could be a really fun season.  Is there a dominant program out there that precludes any chance of a title, or are we in it?
