Yeah like I said in my original post if you don't live in Buffalo I wouldn't expect you to know the Bandits especially with you being in the NYC/NJ sports market. It's a very niche league and made up of mostly smaller area teams such as Albany and Rochester but I know places like Toronto and Philly have teams too so it's not all smaller cities. Living around here you definitely know about the Bandits. When I was running errands today there were people out and about wearing Bandits gear. It's kind of a big deal today but nothing like it would be for the Bills or Sabres. Although rare I know I have seen Bandits highlights on Sportscenter before
Yeah I played a little lacrosse in high school so it's not an issue of not liking or appreciating the sport of lacrosse for me but I have trouble getting any emotions tied up over the Bandits. I think a big part of being a Sports fan as an adult is the memories and feelings you associate it with childhood but I didn't pay any attention to the Bandits growing up
I recognize most of the posters on this side of the board are not currently living in WNY and they might not even know who the Bandits are LOL. For those that still live in WNY what is your interest level in the Bandits? I'm diehard when it comes to the Bills and Sabres but I just can't find myself getting into the Bandits even though they are about to play for their 2nd consecutive Championship tonight. They do have a nice niche following around here but it's nothing like it would be if the Sabres were in the playoffs right now. I believe the game is being aired live on some channel here tonight but I don't even know if I can sit through the entire game.
*For those that don't know the Bandits are the professional indoor Lacrosse team we have in Buffalo. To be fair they are the most successful professional sports franchise we have ever seen in Buffalo haha
Saw the video and felt a bit letdown but had no idea it was supposed to be a parody of something lol. Have never watched Park and Rec before. It's probably much funnier under that context
Looking like 10/27 is a pretty safe bet. I was just talking to my buddy and he is excited because there's a good chance the Kraken might have a game that weekend
