[bobsgirl]

Football, especially fantasy football, is the work of the devil.

Ahhh...Scaly, which do you want to know about, college or pro?

Teams I follow regularly:

College Football--Virginia Tech, University of Utah, BYU (I won't miss VT game if it's televised if I can help it. I'm a U of U and a BYU fan by marriage. My sister-in-law is an athletic trainer for the U of U. My students all hate that I am not an Ohio State fan. They think there is definitely something wrong with me because of this.)

NFL: Atlanta Falcons (yeah, I know I'm weird); I'm marginally a Colts fan.

I'm also a Utah Jazz fan, a BGSU and Toldeo Storm hockey fan, a Texas Tech women's basketball fan (second to Pat Summit at Tennessee and the U of Conneticut coach, Marsha Sharpe has established a hell of a program there), a Toledo Mud Hens fan (the team made famous by Klinger on M*A*S*H actually exists, as does the restaraunt, Tony Packos, which was mentioned on several episodes), and a Red Sox fan.

Teams I hate: NY Yankees, L.A. Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns

On that note.....GO CHIEFS!

 

[Sarojaede]

That's an interesting blend of teams.

BGSU plays in a pretty good league. The CCHL usually has several teams in the tournament. I find college hockey more enjoyable than the pros.

I'm familiar with the Mud Hens, but I didn't realize Klinger made them famous (never been much of a M*A*S*H fan).

Nice to see another Sox fan. Yank's a big sox fan to, while EJ's a Yankers fan.

Oh, and Eilan is a huge Ohio State football fan. Just wait until they lose their first game.

It's an interesting blend of teams because I have lived all over the flipping country. I'm the child of a retired military man; I think I attended 15 schools by the time I graduated from high school.

I graduated from Virginia Tech, so I'm a dyed-in-the-wool VT fan. And I graduated from Texas Tech as well, hence following the TTU women's basketball.

Hmmm. You and I may have to have a friendly little chat.

On the Bengals, I can only say you show extraordinary good judgement.

On the Browns, well, I'll win you over sooner or later.

I've been in Ohio 6 years; no one has won me over to be a Browns fan yet, or a Buckeyes fan for that matter.

Buckeyes. I agree with you. My daughter lives in Columbus and is a huge OSU fan. It's a religion in that city, I tell ya.

you know, i honestly don't know: frankly, i'd rather they put the ball in the hands of either tiki or plaxico burress. for possession plays, he's OK.

i just wish he'd shut his damned mouth!

geez, I feel so....untraveled (is that a word?) now after reading your post. I'll be 47 in a couple months and I've lived in NH my entire life. I wonder if that has any bearing on my hoping that my kids would select out-of-state school for college.

Look at it this way, at least you have a sense of "roots" or "belonging" in the place that you live.

I enjoy both. Baseball is great because they play almost every day for 6 months. I live and breathe baseball March through October. (As my wife says: baseball, baseball, baseball.)

But I also love football. Shit, I even watched every Patriots game when they went 1-15 under Rod Rust. I don't follow it as much as I did when I used to play in football pools (like buying 3 newpapers a day...I would have been able to tell you who even Arizona's 3rd running back was).

But I find it difficult to really get into football until the baseball season is over. The worst time of the year is when football season ends.

I also like college hockey.

I'm right with you on this Scaly. Football for me doesnt even begin until after the World Series but then I'm lost in that. I hate when football season is over and you have to wait that month until spring training starts

I don't really give a flying fuck about either sport, but if I have to choose, I'm taking football. Baseball is an anachronistic bore-fest.
