[NU Sports] Cofield (fwd)

Mike:

you are right about NY.  The mindset that is that anything west of the 
Hudson is Indian country.  Not a PC way to express it, but you get the 
idea.  Ray Knight was of the view that except for the Yankees and the 
Mets, NY sport fans were clueless.  Until the internet and satellite tV 
came along it wasa virtually impossible to find out anything about 
non-NY teams without supcribing to a out of town newspaer.  Living in 
Connecticut, I used to get the Sunday Detroit Free Press to keep up on 
the Big Ten and the Tigers.
