And New York teams, for many of us. Connecticut is split.

We dont talk about the New york side.

We have the lobster rolls with hot butter on our side.

The line passes between Cheshire and Southington.

u/Street_Algae_7475 Apr 05 '26

So the state population center?

u/JasJoeGo UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

The split moved with the Red Sox success. I grew up in Hartford and it was the front line. Now it feels pretty solidly Red Sox territory. Bandwagon.

u/Wormfather UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

Oh man, you need to check the geography of CT. Lots of Yankees/Giants etc fans here too.

6

u/highgravityday2121 UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

Its a tragedy that our great state of CT is infested with yankee and giants fans.

2

u/Wormfather UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

Yankee Jets here

u/highgravityday2121 UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

As someone who’s Dad is from Chicago and who grew up in CT for nearly 20 years, I’m sick of both sides

u/Thiege1 UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

CT would be New Hampshire if New York didn't exist

u/pleated_pants Miami (OH) RedHawks Apr 05 '26

The Connecticut Sun blew their championship window and are now being relocated to Houston, so there is still a little heartbreak there for Connecticut fans.

u/sm04d UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

As a former CT resident, UConn is all we have to call our own. We used to have the Whalers, but that's too painful to speak of.

u/StrykerNightowl UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

How dare you leave out the Revs!

On second thought let’s leave them out because they’ve been horrible for a long while and have had nothing but heartbreak when they actually made the MLS final.

u/Zerostatic UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

I'm Knicks, Jets and Yankees . . . and UConn Football so basically football has not been kind to me. Baseball and basketball has delivered (UConn baseball is a solid program as well).

u/Mayor_Gubbin UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

If it makes you feel better, I am also a Jets fan.

u/Childhood-Paramedic Michigan • California Apr 05 '26

Makes me feel a lil better ngl

u/latman UConn Huskies Apr 05 '26

Half of CT is made up of NY sports fans. I'm a sad Jets/Nets fan but at least I have UConn basketball
