Tipster19 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 What a week for Western New York! In less than a week the Buffalo Bills sign the biggest FA in the NFL and then the Syracuse Orange in an epic battle defeating the nation's #4 team in the Big East rival UConn in a historic 6 OT thriller! Celebrate Western New Yorkers, it's long overdue!
Buffalo Soldier N.O. Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Johnny Flynn and Paul Harris representin' upstate big time! Flynn is going to be a superstar in the NBA.
Dr. Trooth Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I know, I know.... I'm nit picking... but... Cuse is in CENTRAL NY...
scribo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Syracuse is technically Central New York, but I am thrilled.
ProjectPat Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Me Smoke a da Trees! Me Smoke all day! If ya na cheer for Bills, me a think you a gay!
8-8 Forever? Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 whatever floats your boat... changes nothing in my mind... the image i get when I think "Buffalo" hasn't changed ...

Celebrate Western New Yorkers, it's long overdue! Dude...for the most part, Buffalo, both it's team and the city itself, have been getting slammed all week. Media outlets from all over the country have been using the TO signing as an opportunity to point out what a hole our beloved city is and/or what a bad organization the Bills are. And IMHO, SU has nothing to do with Buffalo. SU is central New York, just like CU. If the Big Red wins the NCAA hockey championship, I don't think too many people in Buffalo will be pounding their chests with pride. Cheer for UB...they represent Buffalo.
BillsNYC Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Syracuse is technically Central New York, but I am thrilled. I judge Upstate NY by Bills fans and have found that Syracuse and west is mostly Bills fans...so its cool to include.
scribo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I judge Upstate NY by Bills fans and have found that Syracuse and west is mostly Bills fans...so its cool to include. I certainly don't argue that Syracuse is upstate.
scribo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 And don't forget the Sabres beat Florida last night!
Beantown Bills Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 What does Syracuse have to do with it? Jonny Flynn and Paul Harris went to school at Niagara Falls HS. Representing Upstate on a national scene!
Chief Loves Bills Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Instead of arguing where each city lies... I currently live in Saratoga Springs, north of Albany but was born in Hamburg and I'm not trying to take away from Buffalo, believe me. Lets do it this way... 1. The Bills sign T.O. 2. 'Cuse gets the big win 3. (For those from Albany) Siena wins the MAAC for the second year in a row and might get a 10 seed. Great national coverage for a mid-major. Lets just say UPSTATE New York is getting its due.
BuffaloWings Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I certainly don't argue that Syracuse is upstate. From a NYC perspective, sure. But then, so is Westchester County. I went to school in Potsdam - Syracuse is not upstate as far as I'm concerned.
The Dean Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Jonny Flynn and Paul Harris went to school at Niagara Falls HS. Representing Upstate WNY on a national scene! Fixed!
Tipster19 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Oops! I guess that I am a bit of an idiot. I'm from Rochester originally, 80 miles East of Buffalo and 90 miles West of Syracuse, and I never realized that Syracuse is actually Central New York but it never stopped me from claiming them as one of our own regionally. I'm wrong geographic wise but not spirit wise. Now, let the Sabres do something monumental this year and then my home area just pulled a trifecta.

Celebrate Western New Yorkers, it's long overdue! Is Syracuse Western NY? I think they are Central/Upstate!!! However its nice to see Cuse knock off the Number 4 team in the nation and what a show of will to win.

I'm wrong geographic wise but not spirit wise. Now, let the Sabres do something monumental this year and then my home area just pulled a trifecta. I have pulled a few trifectas in my life. Unfortunately the Sabres dont have enough firepower to make it happen. And Syracuse still has to get thru 6 teams in the tourney to win the championship. Cuse definitely has more of a chance than the Sabres and if the Bills can bolster their D line....one big DT next to stroud and a nice DE opposit Schoebel along with more more linebacker behind them and our chance is as good as any.
billsfreak Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 When you say they signed the biggest FA-I am guessing you meant F*cking Assh*le, he sure wasn't the biggest Free Agent, by any stretch. When was the last time the biggest Free Agent in the NFL was only wanted by one team and they made a list of teams that wanted no part of him-I call it the Common Sense List.
sac bills Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Man, people sure do like to b*itch and moan on this site. Some guy writes about how he's proud of Upstate New York and you psychos jump all over him.
