So the baseball thread kinda broke down into a discussion of team affiliations...and I thought that it was an interesting enough topic to start up a thread and find out where people's loyalties lie...and more importantly why. So mine: Baseball - Boston Red Sox - as was stated in the other thread I spent all my childhood summers an hour out of Boston, Fenway was the first place I ever saw a game and that place is basically my Mecca. NBA - Dallas Mavericks - pure bandwagon...I'd love to play it off but I only started caring about the Mavs when they were running Nellie ball with Nashty and Dirk..and I had the same sort of mystique-laden backround for hoops too because I've seen 4 or 5 games at the Boston Garden when the Celts had Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Dennis Johnson and the remarkably, almost unnaturally, energetic and quick Reggie Lewis (poor taste?) Hockey - Hershey Bears, Dallas Stars - I lived in the Harrisburg area of PA in elementary school and I listend to damn near every Hershey Bears AHL game on the radio...got to go to 2 or 3...and I kinda supported the Hartford Whalers as a kid (I have a soft spot for teams that sucked). I moved to Texas a few years before the Stanley Cup championship, but find myself only paying attention to hockey once the Stars get past the first round NFL - Don't care, my fantasy team (which even then I have occasional apathy) College sports - UNT, Michigan - I was born in Michigan and grew up around Maize and Blue my entire life...still haven't been to a game at the Big House...its been a tough college football year for me. Premiership - West Ham United - Green Street Hooligans...watch it Women's Division III Lacrosse - Endicott College - my cousin's on the team...its really my family's only claim to sports fame
