How would you like to be a college kid ...

[andyouare?]

As a Tampa native and UF grad, top this:
Bucs, Lightning, Gators (three titles) and the Tampa Bay Storm! All in the last 10 years.

Still waiting on the Devil Rays.

I had a year like that in 1999. I was a Stars fan, a bandwagon Spurs fan, and a US women's soccer fan (shut up, I was 15).

Nothing has come close to that summer since.

I was 14...The US women won, the Yankees won, the Stars and Spurs won. Hey, I was a bandwagon fan of the Stars and Spurs back then.

Got to enjoy the 49ers 1st win in '81 as a college freshman. Great partying. (then '84 too.) But the Warriors and the Giants stunk.

... in the same position as my daughter right now?

She's a junior at Florida, and also a huge Miami Heat fan.

So in the course of a year, her favorite teams have won three national championships.

Hope she realizes it won't always be that way.

.........worthless without pictures...........

Dammit. Beat me to it.

And any hack who has covered a game at Ben Hill Griffin will tell you the best 20 minutes of the day are the 20 minutes it takes to get from the interstate to the stadium. Scenery can be unbelievable. Not that I ever ogled your daughter SF. My wife (a frequent lurker here) would kill me.

And my favorite teams are the Maple Leafs, Phillies and Lions... no offense, but I hate your daughter...

I didn't get to really experience one until the Carolina Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup. That was a long time.

Yes, Duke men's basketball won three national titles. But while I treasure those, that's my mother's school, not mine. My school did its winning before I got there. Figures.

Being on the south side of Chicago, my single-digit-age kids have a skewed view of White Sox history. As far as they know, they have a World Series-winning tradition.

Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, Penn State -- and only god knows why -- the Bucks.

Five titles in my lifetime...not too shabby.

Still basking in the glow of '05. Refuse to remove from the bulletin board at work the Trib cover from the day after the Sox won the WS. It's starting to get really yellow, though.

I'm willing to lose a few digits and give up some bone marrow for another Bears Super Bowl victory.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Devils win Cup in 95, '00 and '03.

Rockies, nope. Never.

Vikings, nope. Maybe before I die (if I live to 100!)

All my teams I pull for are champs. Florida hoops and football and Oregon State baseball. Miami Heat, Seattle Seahawks and St. Louis Cardinals. I'm a lucky man.

You're counting an NFC championship?
