OT: Other non-UConn Pro and College teams UConn fans support

Cleveland Brown. Season ticket holder since 1999. Drive up from Cincinnati to home games. It has been rough.
Mexican national team fútbol
St. Louis cardinal baseball
The Knicks
Oklahoma Sooners football.

Live 3 miles from Xavier’s campus so hopefully will be celebrating new years!

I've been tinkering with making the Browns "my" team. I've always loved their vibe/uniforms/dawg pound thing, and strange as it sounds, I love the city of Cleveland, and I doubt anyone would label me a "bandwagoner" if I'm hitching my fandom to Jerry Jeudy or something. My perennial dislike for Deion Sanders and now his offspring, though, makes it a little bit harder right now.
 
Atlanta Braves, since the Sid slide.

Juventus. My youth travel team played against their youth club in a tournament when I was 10. They destroyed us and when we exchanged patches I put it on my bag and told my parents that is who I wanted to play for. Followed them ever since.

I was a Cowboys fan growing up but I have lost my love for the NFL over the years. I will have games on in the background on Sunday if there are no European football games on that I care about, but I really am just a casual NFL fan.

I never really got into college football, went to UConn games while I attended and follow the team in a casual sense but do not go out of my way to watch them like I do with UConn basketball, ATL Braves, or Juve.

Don’t torture yourself and become a Browns fan. I did it to my family and they are losers like myself. But if you join us you will never be considered a band wagon fan and you will have free reign to bark at others wearing our colors randomly.
 
UConn is life. Football, MBB, WBB and Hockey. It's what we watch before anything else.

I grew up in CT in a house full of Long Island raised brothers and I went opposite in every other sport.

NHL - Islanders (house full of Rangers fans)
MLB - Red Sox
NFL - Cowboys
NBA - Celtics

In the last five years I've added Premier League (Wolves) and F1 (McLaren/Piastri) to my watch list and follow those more religiously than anything but UConn.

UConn men's basketball unhealthy obsession

Then in order- Knicks, rooting for UConn players on NBA teams, Yankees, UConn football, Giants, Bears, Cubs.

UConn basketball is a totally different level of fandom. I've lost so much interest in the NFL and college football in recent years. After UConn basketball tennis is my favorite sport to watch.
 
UConn men’s hoop
Chicago Bears
NY Yankees
UConn football

I’ll watch the Bulls and Blackhawks when they are good
I had a kid go to U Iowa and a kid go to UCincy so I’ll watch their football games
As a kid growing up I loved watching boxing matches
 
.-.
Pats, Yanks, Rangers, Knicks, Penn State football, living in PA I don’t root against the Flyers or Sixers since they’re largely irrelevant and I’m close enough to Nova that I wouldn’t mind seeing them good again. Still can’t stomach Eagles and Phillies though…
 
I find myself checking the Spurs, Grizz and Trailblazers box scores for our guys. Tyrese, Andre and Hawkins less so due to their diminished roles.
Went to see T New with the Mad Ants last year and got to meet him which was awesome. He is with the Iowa Wolves currently.

During Kemba's days in Charlotte, I would get league pass just to watch him. Dell Curry and Eric Collins made a good broadcast, even when the on-court product was lacking. And folks in NC treated Kemba like a God (deservedly so).

Can't get into any other NBA until April tho. Too boring by comparison.
 
I am pretty much a one sport, one team fan. UConn men’s basketball although I do root for the Red Sox during baseball season. Peter Karmonas and John Rowland combined to break my heart in 1997. Loved the Whalers. No longer a hockey fan and haven’t watched a football game other than a UConn game in at least 20 years. I do follow the Spurs, Trailblazers, Grizzlies, Nets, Hornets, Bucks and 76ers in the NBA.

Tristen deserves a real chance in the NBA, he's too good for the G league.

Adama gave up the G league grind to get paid in Europe

Oops. Forgot the Pelicans
 
In order...

UConn men's basketball - I never miss a game and travel back to the east coast for at least 1 game a year.
Golden State Warriors - have lived in SF for the past 13 years and they play a beautiful unselfish style of ball. I watch most games.
NY Yankees
NY Jets - but my NFL interest has severely waned. I'll still catch a game here or there, but I find myself appreciating the freedom of a Sunday untethered to the TV
Portland Trailblazers - I like what they're building in Portland and a big part of that is Clingan.
 
Diehard
UConn Men's Basketball
New York Mets
New York Giants

Big Fan, if I miss a regular season game I'll live but follow religiously

New York Knicks
New York Rangers
UConn Baseball

Casual Fan

Tottenham
UConn Football
UConn Hockey
UConn Women's Basketball

I am surprised by the number of posts who say they dont like the NFL as much as they used to. Im in that camp too. I'm sure the numbers show growth etc but the amount of big time sports fans in my life and on here show that some people may be losing interest
 
I was thinking about this the other day. As college hoops fans, we're kind of like the U.S. after World War II, in that we throw our whole-hearted support behind any teams we vanquish, a la Japan and Germany. Thus, this season, I'm a big fan of BYU, Illinois, Kansas and Florida ... at least until March.

I'm also a big Seton Hall fan right now. Go Shaheen.

CT born and bred, back to a time when HCC 100-level tickets were $2 through the Aetna Men's & Women's Club

NBA - favored the Lakers growing up and admired Celtics, and other top teams during that era ... became a Heat fan when Lebron was there. Root for any team with Huskies.

NFL - grew up a Vikings fan, that faded ... tried to root for the Commanders for 2 decades (when living in the DC area), and now root for the Dolphins - both efforts have been futile to date, although Dolphins tailgates hit different, ha

MLB - grew up a Yankees fan, went to a bunch of Nationals games, that's faded too ... been to a few Marlins games, beautiful stadium, 90% empty ... watching baseball bores me these days, but still love playing in old-man (peaked in High School) U-Trip (USSSA) softball tournament from time to time

NHL - loved the Whalers, adopted the Caps (their practice facility was across the street from my crib in Arlington, Virginia - bunch of players were in residence too). Now also root for the FL Panthers ... not really a hockey fan (even though I used to deliver the Hartford Courant to the Howe's, and, skip school sometimes (statute of limitations is up) to watch the Whalers practice at the Glastonbury rink back in the day))

NCAA Volleyball - Nephew plays for UCLA, and while he already has a ring (2024) and went to the WH, he hasn't seen court time, yet - hopefully this year!

All Other Sports (including the above) - no other teams, but will watch any kind of playoffs or notable tournaments, including Puppy Bowl

MBB (the only sport I follow passionately and attend regularly) - UConn at #1, always ... also root for Duke Men's Basketball #2, deal with it

Florida license plates suck w/ all that background BS!
