Most intelligent people know that "Upstate New York" has traditionally been the land north of Albany. Just because something is "up" from NYC, doesn't make it part of "Upstate New York". You might be going "upstate" or "up the state" but you will never be in "Upstate New York" while visiting Rhinebeck, Poughkeepsie, White Plains, etc.
And think about this - what do you think people in Rhinebeck, Poughkeepsie, etc say when they are visiting Lake George, for example. "Oh we're going to Up-Upstate New York" ???? Of course not! That's because Rhinebeck/Poughkeepsie/White Plains people do NOT LIVE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK!
Think rationally --- and read a textbook. Maybe you'll learn something about the history of New York (and the geography).

Get the Upstate New York mug.One of the "Original-Six" NHL teams, founded by boxing promoter Tex Rickard. In fact, their name, "Rangers," comes from a pun on his name, making them Tex's Rangers. Despite limited success in the years after their most recent Stanley Cup win in 1994, Devils and Islanders fans still hate the Rangers because Ranger fans actually give a shit about the team, show up to their games, and frequently make Rangers games on Long Island and in New Jersey sound like they're being played in Manhattan. It is because of this indisputable fact that Islanders and Devils fans have a little brother complex regarding the Rangers, always spouting their mouths about their glory days of the 1980s and 1990s while forgetting that the Rangers have won more playoff series than the two of them combined since the lockout. It seems that Devils and Islanders fans hate the Rangers more than they actually like their own team, even though these feelings are often unrequited by Ranger fans who simply laugh at the idiocy perpetuated by their NHL brethren in Suffolk and Newark.
You know you're doing something wrong when you the two of you have seven Stanley Cups since 1980 and the entire town still likes the Rangers.

Devils Fan: Dude, I fucking hate the New York Rangers. I can't believe people actually like that team. We've won three cups in the last 30 years!
Islanders Fan: Yeah! We were so good in the 80's and 90's, I wonder why no one likes us! It's gotta be those goddamn Ranger fans ruining everything
Rangers Fan: Meet you in the playoffs, guys... oh wait, you'll be golfing by April 10th!
Islanders Fan: Yeah! We were so good in the 80's and 90's, I wonder why no one likes us! It's gotta be those goddamn Ranger fans ruining everything

Get the New York Rangers mug.A baseball team with fans (99% of them bandwagon) that doesn't shut up about their 26 world titles, and uses their incredibly high paycheck to hire new players who either used to be good in the past. They are the second most annoying team in baseball. (The most annoying being the Red Sox.)
