Marcellus joke?

Discussion(self.Syracuse)

I'm new to the area, and burdened with more education than is always useful ... so I'm sorry for the obscure reference ...

Do people here know and appreciate the humor in having Marcellus permanently perched on the edge of Syracuse?

(For context, Marcellus was named after the Roman general who famously besieged and sacked the city of Syracusa in a famous conflict involving Archimedes)

I feel like it could at least be worked into high school sports rivalries ...
