HILARIOUS! Wow, you've taken homerism to a new level!!!!! Is that you Al?
PSU not as popular in Philly as Rutgers in North Jersey!!!!
Thanks for the howl.
You didn't even know that RU was in the NYC DMA...and you want to thank me for the laugh?
If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy dude.
Yes, RU is absolutely more popular in Central Jersey and North Jersey than PSU is in Philly, and as I've said, our TV ratings have proven that. Wasn't always this way, but has been since it at least 2005 when we played Arizona State in the Insight Bowl.
Now regarding your hilarious statement that North Jersey is no more dense than Philly? REALLY? YOU SAID THAT? REALLY?
Philly has a population of 1,536,471 million (U.S. Census Bureau).
NJ has a population of 8,865,000 (U.S. Census Bureau)
The Central Jersey (where RU is physically located) and North Jersey counties that fall in the NYC DMA make up 79 percent (YES, that right, just under 80% of NJ's total population.) The 7 South Jersey counties that fall under the Philly DMA comprise just 21 percent of the state's total population.
So let's compare-
Philly + 1.54 million
Central & North Jersey (NYC DMA)- 7.02 million
(that's nearly 6 times more populated than Philly. Yikes, you weren't even in the same stratosphere. You kind of feel a little stupid now...don't you? Come on, you can admit it.)
Maybe you should think a little (or at least do a little research) before you post... you wouldn't come off as so ignorant.
