Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
You must choose to cheer for 1 team in each major professional/college sport you currently follow.
Here are the rules: -You live in Alaska, so you have no hometown connection to any major sports team. -You've never followed these sports before, so you have no interest or hatred in any team, but you have all the historical information on teams you could ever want -You have no affiliation to any team whatsoever -You have your own private jet and unlimited amounts of $$$ which allows you to attend any and all sporting events you could want, as long as they don't conflict in time -You have the best satellite dish ever, which picks up every tv station in the entire world including local stations, allowing you to see every televised sporting event possible. -You can't pick any team you currently cheer for in real life -Include the teams you currently cheer for in parentheses Discuss My choices: MLB - Indians (Yankees/Brewers) NBA - Heat (Bucks) NFL - Chargers (Packers) NCAABB - UCLA (Duke/Marquette) NCAAFB - Notre Dame (Wisconsin) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
MLB - Angles (Red Sox)
NFL - Steelers (Patriots) NCAAFB - Utah (Boston College) NHL - Avalanche (Bruins) NBA - Basketball is stupid (Basketball is stupid) NCAABB - Basketball is stupid (Basketball is stupid) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
MLB- Cardinals(Mets)
NFL- Packers(Jets) NHL- Red Wings (Rangers) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
I would probably choose to follow the teams that have the best combined history + chances each year of winning the championship (The Ultimate Bandwagoner). Extra stuff like celebrities and special events would also be good. NFL is toughest because of parity.
MLB - Yankees (Cubs, Red Sox, Braves) NBA - Lakers (Bulls, Heat, Magic) NFL - Giants (Bears) NCAAFB - Notre Dame (Florida) NCAABB - Duke (Florida) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
MLB - Dodgers (Yankees)
NBA - Cavs (Lakers in the 80s/90s) NFL - Jets? (Redskins in the 80s/90s) NHL - Red Wings (Blue Jackets) NCAABB - ? (tOSU) NCAAFB - ? (tOSU) I'm not really a pro football/basketball fan, and haven't really watched either sport since 98. College Sports are really hard to watch I would think unless you have a really strong connection to that school. There are so many teams out there that you could like, but I couldn't imaging rooting for any other team other than The Ohio State University. |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
I'd wanna pick teams where each one was The Show in their area and the ownership/administration seemed at least adequate. Here goes.
MLB- St. Louis Cardinals (Twins) NBA- Indianapolis Pacers (T-Wolves) -easiest pick, Jazz disallowed because its freaking Utah and I'm gonna wanna party if I'm making that kind of trip NFL- Green Bay Packers (Vikings) NCAABB- UConn (Minnesota- Go Gophs!) -toughest pick by far NCAAFB- Notre Dame (Minnesota) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
so we have a vikings fan that would become a GB fan, and a Bo Sox fan that would be come a Yankee fan.
I know it's cold outside, but it would seem that Hell has officially frozen over. |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
I don't really understand how to answer this, as I have followed these sports for some time and have some perspective that is likely clouding my judgment. I think that my answers would be entirely different if I were just recently exposed to everything like in the above scenario, but I have no idea how to account for that. But I'll play along and just use my biased perspective.
MLB - Cubs (Red Sox) NBA - Pacers (none) NFL - Chiefs (Eagles) NCAABB - Gonzaga (Kentucky) NCAAFB - ??? (Kentucky/Michigan) |

NBA - LeBron, Chris Paul (I don't follow any teams, but I really enjoy watching the Kings and Warriors lose) NFL - Texans (49ers) NCAABB - Wisconsin (Fresno St.) NCAAFB - Nebraska when they used to work the option (Fresno St.) |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
MLB - St. Louis Cardinals (Mariners)
NBA - Mavericks (Sonics) NFL - Packers (Seahawks) NCAABB - North Carolina (Gonzaga/Washington) NCAAFB - Tennessee or Alabama (Washington) I tried to pick teams where the game day experience would be top of the line. I can only imagine how wild it would be to see 100,000+ fans at Nyland staduim in a game vs. Florida or a packed house in the Dean Dome vs. Duke. |
Re: Hypothetical Sports Fan Situation
MLB - Cubs (pirates) -went to a pirate/cubs game in chi, almost felt bad rooting for the bucs.
NBA - Heat (Spurs) - would love to see Shaq dominate the Lakers in teh finals NFL - Bengals (Steelers) The bengals remind me a lot of my Pirates, so I like them, they give me hope NCAABB - UNC (Pitt/Wake) so much history it would seem, UNC or Duke NCAAFB - PSU (Pitt) I absolutely am really not a fan of Penn State, but my GF graduated from there, and it would be convenient. |

I think I understand this right.
MLB: No idea here. Milwaukee maybe? (Athletics) NFL: Green Bay (Seahawks) NHL: Montreal (Canucks) NBA: Detroit (Sonics) NCAAB: Gonzaga (Illini) Edit: And as the 3rd person to list Gonzaga basketball, the only logical conclusion is that Gonzaga is huge with Alaskans who own private jets. |
