Whats your connection with Bristol 1869 ?

I spent the summer there a few years back. I was treated really well by everyone in the city and even got a private tour of Ashton Gate and met some of the players before they left for an away match. Needless to say, they won a supporter for life!

[VR]

Sixers
Reds
Vikings
Hawkeyes

[improbus]

I don't follow the NBA much anymore. I watched the NBA a lot throughout the 80's and into the 90's but after the great players of that era retired I lost interest. I will show my age here,but the last pro basketball team I really rooted for was the old ABA team,Kentucky Colonels.

NCAA (all sports): Kentucky

NFL: Bengals
NBA: Watch casually, but the idea of a 'favorite NBA Team' seems silly to me.

[RawOwl UK]

English Soccer: Reading FC

Going down going down going down :D

Seriously great win for you guys over Liverpool last week. :thumbup:

I hope you Owls find a way to stay up. Some of the most loyal supporters in the world!

PS Can you help us Cider Heads out by beating United at the end of the season?

[deltachi8]

steelers
sabres
and wherever my son decides to go to college in a few years (until then, Syracuse)

[Redsfan320]

Okay, you guys need to convince me of something:

How is watching soccer better than watching paint dry?

Convince me.

Says a poster on a baseball board. :)

I think it is like anything else: either you like it or you don't. I like soccer just like I like football, basketball and hockey. It is just a shade above those others as my second favorite sport...though a distant second to hardball it is. Much like baseball the game has a tremendous cultural history and is fun to follow day to day not just on gameday.

I love baseball. Everything else is just filler until summer comes round.

[Redsfan320]

either you like it or you don't.

Yeah, I guess it could be that.

It seems like it's always the same thing, but I guess you could say that about any sport.

[Puffy]

NFL: NY Football Giants
NBA: NY Knicks (ouch)
NCAA B'Ball: UNC
NCAA F'Ball: Notre Dame

[Hoosier Red]

I really gathered an appreciation for Soccer when I was covering the IU team for the newspaper. I gained the appreciation because 1) IU was really good and 2) Watching games from the press box allows you to see plays develop better than on TV.

People are familiar with football so they don't see it this way but my wife always gets mad when the team just runs up the middle. "It never goes anywhere, stupidest play in sports."

[will5979]

1. MLB: Reds
2. NCAA: WVU
3. NASCAR: Mark Martin (only old schooler left)
4. NFL: Bengals
5. Wrestling: Hulk Hogan

[macro]

3. NASCAR: Mark Martin (only old schooler left)


I don't follow NASCAR like I once did, but Martin is my favorite these days, as well, and for the same reason. The guys that have come up in the past ten years are cut from a different cloth than the generation that came before them.

[Sean_CaseyRules]

NFL: Miami Dolphins, Bengals (in that order)
NHL: CBJ, although they've been killing me all season.
NBA: Cavs, not a huge NBA fan, I like CBB better.
NCAABB: THE Ohio State University
NCAAFB: THE Ohio State University, and the Thundering Herd. (Tied for numero uno)
MLS: The Crew
Golf: Lefty and Tiger.
Nascar: Michael Waltrip, I know.....enough said....

[redsfan1966]

Wrestling? If we are going that route--my fave is Y2J Chris Jericho...
