I can't cheer for a winner anymore. The mavs let me down last year. The cowboys this year. Bama isn't lighting it up. I can't win!
Can anyone relate?
Bored?

The two teams that my sports universe rotate around are the Cubs and the Fighting Illini - zero championships in my 35 years (counting football and basketball for college sports). I can relate.

I hear that! You haven't tasted it in awhile. It hurts. I wish I was from the New England area. That would be nice! LOL
Oh well.

If you're a fan of an NFL team, an average performance would be a championship every 32 years. Dallas is ahead of the curve.
If you have teams in each of the NFL, NBA, and MLB, you should experience one championship every 10 years or so.
Of course, since I'm Boston fan, these numbers don't apply to me.

You got that right, about you and Boston that is.

I'm a Chicago fan. I've had 8 championships in my 37 years. So, I'm good for awhile.

A's and Dolphins.
The only championship I've seen was the A's in 89, which was since been proven a steroid sham. So 0 legitimate championships.

I had zero in my first 15 years of being old enough to pay attention to sports, and now 6 in the last 6 years (including Syracuse basketball), with great shot at a 7th.

I got nothin' in my real years. I was a Bulls fan but there weren't too many non-Bulls fans so I won't count those.
My Cubbies, Vikings and Bucks haven't done much in my cheering years.

I was a Bulls fan before Jordan came on board, so I count them. I remember the days of Quentin Daily, Reggie Theus, and Orlando Woolridge.
Didn't know Jerry Sloan was our coach back then.

How about being a Chargers and Padres fan. No Super Bowl or World Series win in the history of their existence. I am hoping the Chargers can get there again and do it this time because I have only witnessed one other Super Bowl appearance and 2 World Series appeareances in which they were destroyed by the opponent.

I've got the Bengals, Reds and Sabres which gives me 3 World Series titles in my lifetime. 2 Super Bowl Appearances and 1 Standley Cup Finals game 7 THEFT of our Cup.
Last title was the Reds wiping the floor with Oakland in the 1990 World Series. Funny though, I still remember the entire universe telling me that the A's would sweep the weak hitting Reds easily as their powerful lineup would crush our second rate pitching staff.....
Ahh the memories.

I share your pain.
But Cowboys and Colts fans should look on the bright side, the person managing their teams' off-seasons isn't named Matt Millen.

But, you had the CLIPPERS for some years. Cmon, it doesn't get any better than that. :)
Broncos - 2 titles within the last 11 years.
Rockies - 1st WS last year, destroyed in it.
Avs - 2 titles within the last 15 years.
Buffs Football - 1 title in last 20 years (shared title)
OkSt. Basketball - A couple of final fours in the last 15 years.
Nuggets - ummmm. . . ouch.

Since I was born (1975)
Falcons - 0 championships
Hawks - 0 Championships
Braves - 1 world series championship
The only thing that has helped my sport suffering was Tech being the 1990 college football champions.

I am a Philly sports fan who lives in Pittsburgh. I don't want to hear any whining. Only the Phillies (1980) and the Sixers (1983) won titles in my lifetime. Too bad I was too young to remember. At least Penn State has won two titles, 1982 and the one in 1986 I remember vividly.

I've actually been reasonably lucky with championships. In my lifetime:
Dallas Cowboys - '92, '93, '95
Houston Rockets - '94, '95
Houston Astros - Never (Stupid White Sox)
UTEP Miners - Never gonna happen again
Edmonton Oilers - I won't count them, since it's the only time I've jumped on a bandwagon. If they had won in '06, though, I would have counted that.
Five championships isn't too bad...

The only teams to have won a championship at the same time I was rooting for them were the '85 Bears and the '90 Reds. As a current fan of Cincy baseball, Falcons football, Thrasher hockey, Hawks basketball (if I had to pick an NBA team) and VT football & basketball, I don't think I'll be seeing any more for a while.
At least my son's little league baseball (19-0) and soccer teams (10-0 and he scored 32 goals in those 10 games) have went undefeated in the past calendar year. He rocks.

I'm with RenderR, but I don't think the Sabres would of won that game even if that goal got waived off. The Sabres were starting to wear down, and the Stars just out-played them. However, anything can happen in hockey.

NC State football--never, and most likely never will
NC State basketball--1983 and all downhill from there (seriously 43-13 at the half against Carolina? WTF?)
Carolina Panthers--lost '03 Super Bowl, now can't make the playoffs in a lousy NFC
Carolina Hurricanes--2006 was beyond my wildest dreams...man, how I wish we could get that magic back
Colorado Rockies--This year's ride to the Series made up quite a bit on all the bad years over the past decade
Charlotte Bobcats--At times I care because they're the hometown team, but then there's the fact that it's become essentially the North Carolina Tar Heels professional basketball club that makes it much more difficult to like them

I hope you guys know that this is the year for New Orleans basketball to take the national championship. Don't let Saturday's loss to South Alabama fool you. We can't beat the Jaguars if we played them 5-on-4. The rest of the country would get torn up by UNO, though.

01-14-2008, 06:25 PM
I bitch, I complain but
Marlins- 2 World Series
Heat-1
Miami Hurricanes Football -83,87,89,91,01
Dolphins- If only Don McNeal could have made that tackle on Riggins, then maybe:(
For me..
FC Barcelona - Won Europe in '06. Woohoo. Lots of other domestic titles.
Minnesota Twins - Last title in '91
Minnesota Gophers Football- Umm.. last Big 10 title was 40 years ago. But there were 6 national championships decades and decades before I was born. I'm claiming that shit.
I don't care about any other teams.

Can't say the same for TO...
I have seen lots of losing with my teams. Mets in 2000, Giants losing to those suck ass Ravens, although I hate NBA now I was a fan back in the day when the Knicks lost to the Rockets and Spurs. Not a big hockey fan but I got to see the Rangers win it in '94...too young to remember the Mets in '86 and I semi remember the Giants in 1990 with the wide right.

So ya..all you Boston types can sit on it and rotate. Yes I'm envious. :)
