your favorite sports teams... - Page 6 - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

MLB: Cincinnati Reds. No other team comes close. If the Reds are out of contention, I tend to then root for whatever team has some players I like. The Red Sox have usually wound up being my number two team.
NFL: Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders. When I first began following pro football, Cincinnati didn't have a pro team. I loved the Raiders offense and I've been a fan of both teams for more than 30 years. Except for a brief period in the mid 1970s and again in the early 1980s, the two teams have never been good at the same time, so a conflict in allegiance rarely has occurred. I will admit to pulling for the Raiders over the Bengals when they met in the 1975 AFC playoffs. I was a huge fan of the Stabler-Biletnikoff-Upshaw-Hendricks-Blanda-Shell-Madden Raiders teams. I also like the Green Bay Packers.
NBA: Nobody. I was a fan of the Lakers in the early 1970s when they had Wilt and West, but I haven't cared all that much since.
NHL: Nobody.
College football: 1. Marshall; 2. Alabama; 3. Penn State
College basketball: 1. Marshall; 2. Duke (my udergraduate and law school respectively)
Auto racing: I tend to root for whoever drives for Team Penske in open wheel racing solely because I was a fan of Rick Mears.

Nope. My wife and I are going to a birthday party for one of my partners, who turns 80 tomorrow, and his son, who is 50 today.
By the way, today's newspaper reported that former Marshall basketball coach Rick Huckabay is gravely ill with cancer and his wife has requested prayers.

MLB: Reds. I grew up a Tribe fan, but after moving away from the Cleveland area, and living in Cincinnati, I became a Reds fan.

NFL: Bengals. I also grew up a Browns fan, but like many others I was scorned by Art Modell. Even though the Browns exsist, it doesn't feel right. It's kinda like when you were a kid, and your dog died so your parents went out and purchased an identical animal to try and fool you.

NBA: Cavs. I don't follow them that closely. NBA just doesn't intrest me that much these days.

NHL: Never got into this sport. Have a few friends who love it.

NCAA: THE Ohio State University.

Redlegs23 · 02-11-2006, 07:27 PM

MLB: Reds, obviously.
NFL: Colts fan since I got an autographed football in the third grade.
NCAA Hoops: Bearcats. Nancy Zimpher has sent me into depression.
NCAA football: Bearcats again. Even though there isn't much cheer for. I blame Nancy again.

NBA: No real preference. I want the Pistons to win it this year so that Maxiell can get a ring though. If they don't win I can probably find a way to blame Nancy Zimpher.
PGA: Love watching all the guys. But you gotta love watching John Daly win with his style. Watch out Nancy!! Four!!!
