I once tried to settle this with the people that I work with in LI and NYC. After a whole bunch of arguing, I finally said "How about we say that 'downstate' is anything that is accesible by the MTA, and "upstate" does not have that access. They didn't argue with me. Since the MTA goes from Manhattan to Poughkeepsie, that pretty much settled it.

Anyone who refers to Poughkeepsie as "upstate", unless referring to the direction of their present whereabouts, has a lack of knowledge of the state and what it actually has to offer. It's bad enough to be lumped in with them as part of the effort to create two autonomous regions in order to actually get some say in governmental process.

This should settle things once and fore all on the Upstate vs. Downstate.

All of NY State is in the Upper US... 😛

'Nuff Said

I was thinking about what Upstate NY is while bike riding this morning. Upstate NY is the part of NY that people in Downstate NY think sponges off of them by not paying their fair share of state taxes, and Downstate NY is the part of NY that people in Upstate NY think sponges off of them by not paying their fair share of state taxes. :D

Lugnut,
There is no reason for Connecticut to exist at all. It should be divided between NY and MA on the Yankee/Red Sox line -- wherever that is. :D :D

Fairfield County. Interestingly Western MA is included with Albany, not Boston when it comes to NFL territory.

With the rumors flying around that the Buffalo Sabres have more than a mild interest in obtaining Cam Talbot in a trade with the NY Rangers before the draft, that eventuality could put a damper on Jason Kasdorf's future prospects unless of course he was included in that deal and was in the mix for their backup having to battle with Makenzie Skapski. In either case, Long Island is definitely downstate - can we agree on that?

Well, Buffalo just traded for Ottawa’s Robin Lehner so that probably rules out Talbot.

As someone who has lived in Connecticut just over two years now, I'm deeply and personally offended.

You could always suggest that DC should be given back to Maryland. :)

BTW, I was kidding.

As someone who has lived in New York State my entire life, I'm deeply and personally offended by your view of New York State having eight counties. ;)

OK, I'll admit it. I am so far out of the loop that I am unfamiliar with the use of 69 as a verb.

What the heck is sixty-nining? :confused:

It is the verb form of the noun which you are thinking of. Look at the shapes of the states of NH and VT.
 
Re: RPI 2015 Off Season Thread: Another Long Spring and Summer :(

Today is 27 June 2015. There are 98 days (14 weeks) until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 3 October 2015 for the start of next season.
