BTW, you calling me an idiot is truly funny. Do you know the definition of an idiot? Where that mirror in your house?

Where are those board mods? Hey guys, look Orange Froggie here just called me an idiot. Where is that ban stick?

Daily News' College Basketball Front Page:

The daily news is a NYC local paper.
Notice the first two words of each AP article- New York. That tells you where the story takes place. All three BET stories took place in NYC. Show me a UCONN story that begins with the words CONN. and then You'd convince me that the daily news actually covers sports in Conn.

I don't need to convince someone who obviously can't read. Sorry dude, not gonna waste my time.

Did you even read the caption of the NY DAILY news article you posted?
Here it is for you:

"Walker Big for Bronx at Garden-
The great New York City basketball day was supposed to be about St.Johns at the Garden, maybe about a Bronx guard named Dwight Hardy who had a lot to do with bringing St. Johns back this season. Only now it was all about UCONN and Pitt, all about Kemba Walker out of the Sack Wern Houses in the Soundview section of the Bronx."

Can you get it? Even on what you think is a UCONN story the daily news said they were supposed to talk about St. Johns. And in even selling the UCONN story to NYC they have to say Kemba walker is fromthe Bronx. Putting a real NYC hook, otherwise they know NYC would not care. If Walker if from hartford and not the Bronx the NY Daily News could not lead with this story. Why? Because NYC does not care about UCONN but they care about the Bronx kid.

The headline: Walker big for BRONX at Garden. -- My man. This is a Bronx boy playing at the Garden story. Not a UCONN story and that's why the NY Daily led with it.-- Good try though but you have to actually read the articles you post.

If Walker played for USF and hit the big shot the Daily news would run the same Bronx hook. UCONN is irrevalent to this story the Bronx is relevant. Walker being from the Bronx and playing at the Garden makes it a NYC story and the Daily News makes that point in the lead.

Here's what you get if you actually follow the link:

"Kemba Walker and Dwight Hardy both make Bronx proud at Garden, but Walker steals the spotlight"

Now you tell me why the Daily news led with this story. Because of UCONN or because of two players from the Bronx?

They even show the photo of Walker in his Rice High School uniform. To tie him inn further to the Bronx. This is a Bronx Boy story. Daily news runs them all the time because they are a local paper and know what people care about locally.

So you are saying had Shabazz Napier made that shot instead of Walker, there will be no stories about UCONN today in any of the NYC papers?

Do you really believe that?

I'm saying that had Napier made that shot the Daily News would not make the big deal out of it as they did with Walker and Hardy being from the bronx. Link does not work: Here's the article. Tell me what do you think:

First they show the shot of Walker in his Rice uniform and say, "a former star at Rice High School in Harlem"...

Here's an excerp:

----------------------------
Kemba Walker and Dwight Hardy both make Bronx proud at Garden, but Walker steals the spotlight

The place belonged to Walker now, off Lafayette Ave., a kid who would later move downtown to play his high school ball at Rice. This was the moment at the Garden that all city kids imagine for themselves, kids out of the projects and playgrounds and rec centers, out of all the old ideas about city basketball.

"I was taking that shot," Walker said.

He would take it on tired legs. He and his UConn teammates were playing their third game in three days. You could see it with Walker most of all, especially down the stretch. He had 22 points before the last shot but if he had his legs Thursday he would have had 30 easy. He was missing shots he usually makes, not just in his dreams, but in his sleep...

Kemba Walker does. Walker of the Bronx. Ball in his hands Thursday. Ball in the air in the Garden. How many times did he see himself making that shot? How many times do they all?"

----------------
Notice they call him "Walker of the Bronx" not Walker of UCONN. They are selling his Bronx roots to NYC, making it a NYC story.

Whne they say "all city kids" the city they are referencing is not Storrs.

Lafayette Ave is in the Bronx and "downtown" is Downtown NYC. This is selling a NYC dreams come true story not a UCONN story.

I think you should try to be one of those small time crooks that scam people out of their money working the NY City streets. You can spin more crap out of your butt than most politicians.

If what you are saying is true, why aren't they doing a story about some NY kids playing for Kansas or Kentucky regularly?

How do you explain a ton of stories NYC papers did for UCONN women's team? Is Maya Moore from the Bronx too?

They cover the Big East and especially the BET at MSG. If a Kentucky kid from NYC played at MSG, the Daily news might make a point of wrting about the NYC connection.

I'm sure they ran a story or two about WVU or Pitino. Doesn't mean they "own" the city like you think a few stories about a UCONN kid from the Bronx means UCONN owns the city. Too funny.

The NYC local papers only covered SYR FB last year because the coach was from the Bronx and the Yankee Bowl was played inthe Bronx. But you don't hear me saying SYR owns NYC. I know they don't. St. John does and nobody else. Especially not UCONN.

Whats funny is you actually believe the BS you spew. Now thats really funny.

Are you gonna tell me there are no other articles written about UCONN outside of the BET? How much of your life savings you want to bet on that?

I'm sure there are NY daily news articles about Miami and UCLA. YOu seem to think an article or two about UCONN in a NYC newspaper means UCONN owns the city. I'm saying there's a reason to write the articles they write and it may be a good BB story, it may be a good BE story and it may be a story with a good NYC hook. But generally, NYC papers don't cover UCONN BB.

I'm sure the Hartford papers don't cover SYR but probably have written a story or two about SYR or Boeheim or maybve even Pitino or Louisville. Doesn't mean SYR or Louisville owns Hartford.

Article or two? Do you even read? NYC papers cover UCONN regularly. Here is an article from NY Post about UCONN game against GTOWN just a day ago and it got NOTHING do with Walker from Bronx. This is just the NY Post in the last 3 days. I can tell they got a lot more coverage about UCONN than Orange.

What is really funny is Orange homers actually think they own NYC when Cuse cant even get on the 1st page after a victory against St Johns.

One thing is sure is that you have no clue what you are talking about.

uconnbaseball · 03-11-2011 07:05 AM

Guys, can we clean up the personal attacks please? This is getting a little too heated.

I disagree with both of you. Frog, NYC apparently cares enough about UConn to have SNY named the official home of UConn athletics. You also pick a few articles where UConn isn't mentioned on the first page and assume that must mean that UConn is NEVER covered. IMO, you didn't give enough of a sample size and SFHusky's links prove that UConn is indeed often covered by NYC newspapers.

I'll even admit that UConn's presence in NYC is rather limited and that Rutgers, St. Johns, and Syracuse all have more of an influence there. There's no questioning that, but to say NYC covers UConn the same way the Courant covers St. Johns is hyperbole on your part.

Either way, UConn's job is to deliver the CT market (especially Hartford), NOT NYC. Anything extra is just a bonus :)

NYC is St. Johns for the taking. A strong St. Johns/SYR rivalry will only increase SYR presence in NYC. It will put SYR on the NYC map for everyone. Most NYC residents don't even know where SYR is.

On the UCONN matchup tomorrow: Do you really think UCONN can play three games in three days and beat SYR on the fourth day? With the double bye, the second game is the rust off game. I expect a surging SYR team to meet a slightly tired UCONN team. It should not come down to the final shot. Fab should do some damage.

Do you really know what you are talking about? NYC papers have UCONN article regularly all the time. Do you even read NYC papers or you just like to make stuff up?

Try learn how to Google. It took me 2 secs to find the following articles on UCONN women from New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/sports...uconn.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/22/sports...uconn.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/20/sports...uconn.html

Unless you don't consider New York Times NYC newspaper? How many NYC newspapper front page do you think Kemba's picture will be on tomorrow? No wait, they gonna put Fab Melo's face instead? Is that what you gonna guess?

UCONN has some of the highest TV ratings on SNY this year. I am talking about record breaking TV ratings. Put it this way, Syracuse is no more NYC's team than UCONN.

Uconn has record breaking ratings on SNY in the Hartford dma. In other words, Uconn broke records for viewership in Hartford only. Here is an excerpt from the article that you are mistaken:

NEW YORK - The University of Connecticut men's basketball team is off to a blazing ratings start on SNY- the official television home of the UConn Huskies football and men's basketball programs. The network is currently averaging a 4.74 household rating in the Hartford-New Haven DMA. This rating represents a 4.4% increase compared to last season's Husky regional package. That whole article was about the ratings in Hartford.

Husky returns and the back and forth babble with him and the poor soul of the day begins within 24 hours. I'm also sure he would have "randomly" picked yesterday to return if Pitt had won the quarterfinal game. Love those coincidences! 03-lmfao

Hey. I love SFHusky.

I'm glad he's back.

But the NY Times has the third largest natonal circulation of any newspaper behind the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. I can buy any of these papers in Los Angels, Atlanta, Chicago so It wouldn't surprise if they covered UCLA, or Ga. Tech. The NY Times is way beyond a local paper. No one considers the NY times a local paper.

In fact here:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/05/sports...technology

So I gues the ACC owns NYC and the NY Times.

But I guess Kansas and Olk own the NY Daily News:
