I would never think people in Philly would root or be more interested in Rutgers over psu. They’re both in Pennsylvania and I would expect Philly to cover in-state teams a lot more. My bigger issue is actually the lack of Rutgers coverage in South Jersey. I’m from down there and before I went to Rutgers, I wasn’t as big into college sports as I am now and casually cheered for psu (makes me sick now thinking that) and other Philly schools because they were on tv and Rutgers never was. We have a hard enough time with North Jersey, but South Jersey may as well be another state with how disconnected they are with Rutgers.

So you expect people to only root for the schools that are closest to them?
Home teams, yes.
It doesn't make any sense for most people in a region to root for a team 3 times as far away as a local one.
traveling to psu is a big pain in the ask--those two lanes in pa on 80 SUCK especially with all those trucks
About a dozen students chanted "We own Philly" towards the end.
Big whoop, you won an NIT game vs a mediocre Temple team.
