Do you, like me, root AGAINST sports teams? If so, which ones?
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 03:14 AM by Mayberry Machiavelli
Me:

NFL: Dallas Cowboys/SF 49ers. Raidazz.

MLB: Noo Yawk Yankees

NBA: LA Lakers (they used to be my faves in Magic Johnson era). Boston Celtics (not much sport in that these days though).

NHL: Don't care.

NCAA Hoops: DUKE. Used to be UNC as a close second, but the news that Dean Smith is a Dem and for the JK/JE ticket has caused me to totally remove them from my list. Oh, and Indiana. Actually since Smith is retired it's probably okay for me to still root against UNC LOL.

NCAA Football: Notre Dame (no fun anymore), U of Miami (they have also intermittently been a team I have rooted FOR).

8. The Lakers...
because I live in the Los Angeles area and get sick to death of hearing about the Lakers, also hate when they win because their fans end up rioting to celebrate. x(

17. I root against
University of Tennessee. As an Alabama fan, I have to. It's a rule. I dislike UT more than I dislike Auburn, and that's saying a lot.
