Favorite Team and Titles

rowech · 01-12-2016, 11:42 AM

Has your favorite team won a title in your lifetime that you specifically remember? (not one that happened when you were two). Note, the question pertains to your absolute one favorite team that if you could only root for one team in all sports, this would be the team.

BillJasper · 01-12-2016, 12:06 PM

I remember the Dolphins winning the AFC in '82 and '84. Were beat up in both Super Bowls.

Kodos · 01-12-2016, 12:33 PM

No.

Indiana football? Favorite team since Marino retired. No titles of any sort in my lifetime.

Veering off topic a bit:
Indiana basketball? Won two years before I went there.
Miami Dolphins - favorite team from 1983 until Marino retired? Nope.

The Colts did win one time, but they were more my favorite team because of Peyton Manning more than just being my favorite team. But it doesn't matter, because Indiana football has been my true favorite team since the day that Marino retired.

CraigSca · 01-12-2016, 12:36 PM

Maryland 2002, Orioles 1983.

korme · 01-12-2016, 12:42 PM

Reds 1990, I was 4. Not counting it.

ISiddiqui · 01-12-2016, 12:46 PM

The Mets won the World Series when I was 6. I don't recall it. They came close this year, but I'm not counting winning the NL as a 'title'

.

My other teams - the Falcons (since I moved here in 2002), Newcastle United, Rutgers football haven't really come close.

Easy Mac · 01-12-2016, 01:00 PM

Born in '82

Braves: 1995
Duke basketball: a few
Furman football: 1988 (wasn't a fan yet)

Did get to go to the 1-AA championship game in 2001, only to watch us fall by a TD.

Marmel · 01-12-2016, 01:03 PM

Until 1991 the NY Football Giants were my favorite team and I saw them win 2. It was around 1991 that Syracuse basketball became my favorite team, and they won once, in 2003. (While the Giants won 2 more, which were incredible, but not technically my favorites anymore - any hey, the Yankees are 3rd and they have a couple!)

murrayyyyy · 01-12-2016, 01:04 PM

94 Razorbacks won while I was still in town. Probably the best celebration I'd every have for a team since we went and partied on campus all night.

tarcone · 01-12-2016, 01:08 PM

Iowa Football- a few B1G championships.
Iowa Basketball- a couple B1G championships.
Iowa Wrestling- a dozen National Championships
St Louis Cardinals- A few WCs
Denver Broncos- A couple super bowls

Thats my list.

Logan · 01-12-2016, 01:17 PM

Yes, the 1994 Rangers are definitely my #1 team overall.

JeeberD · 01-12-2016, 01:34 PM

Cowboys - '92, '93, '95

I'm hoping to see another one or two in my lifetime, but that may not happen until Jerry dies and passes the team along to Stephen.

Abe Sargent · 01-12-2016, 01:37 PM

Jags and Mountaineers Football Nope. Not even close.

CU Tiger · 01-12-2016, 02:06 PM

Yes and no.

Growing up it was the Cowboys. Far and away. Graduated high school in 96 so...high school was a good run.

After college my one team has been....you guessed it.

Last night was as close Ive seen there. Of course they did win a title when I was 3. But wasnt a fan then...

Neuqua · 01-12-2016, 02:13 PM

I got to spend my teens watching Jordan and the Bulls win 6.

So I'm good.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-12-2016, 02:20 PM

I think I've told this story before.

Georgia Tech's 1990 UPI title came while I was working at a radio station that was a UPI member/affiliate. While it was all (then) fancy & high speed ink jet stuff, the copy still printed up on rolls of paper just like the old-school wire copy machines in the movies.

I was actually working when the poll was released. Heard the bell ring in the next room (knowing that their poll was due anytime) and ran to the printer ... the page had scrolled over just far enough that I could see from the bottom up #25 through ... #3.

Yeah, my hand might have shook as I reached to reveal the rest. Real slow-motion moment.

thesloppy · 01-12-2016, 02:30 PM

Hahahahahaha. *sigh*

The Detroit Lions are pretty much the only team I root for.

..back in '90, whenI was 18 and still followed basketball, I got nosebleed seats (the wooden benches literally pressed against the back of the arena at the top of the stair lanes) for what turned out to be the final game of the 1990 NBA Finals, between my favorite teams the Blazers and the Pistons, won on a last-second shot by Vinnie 'The Microwave' Johnson. That's probably as close as I'm going to get (literally and figuratively) to any kind of championship action.

Honolulu_Blue · 01-12-2016, 02:43 PM

This one's hard for me, since I am pretty much evenly split between the Red Wings and the Lions.

The Wings have won 4 Stanley Cups, all within the last 20 years, and I was 23 when they won their first, so they all count. I saw them win the Cup live in 1998 against the Capitols.

The Lions, well... I did watch them win their one and only playoff game in 59 years!

cartman · 01-12-2016, 02:45 PM

The Texas Longhorns and Emily Ratajkowski. I think I read the name of the thread correctly.

Breeze · 01-12-2016, 02:58 PM

Florida State - 3x...but not until after I graduated. I started college in '87 at the beginning of the dynasty run, but didn't get a championship while I was there.

Warhammer · 01-12-2016, 03:29 PM

Rams in 99 was mine. But I have had good luck as a fan, numerous Lakers titles, Angels in 2002, and the Kings have 2 in the last 5 years.

PackerFanatic · 01-12-2016, 03:35 PM

Happy to say I've gotten to see the Packers win '96 and '10. Hoping more in the future.

Castlerock · 01-12-2016, 03:56 PM

Born in 1968 so the 1981 Celtics are the first one I remember. Patriots in 2001 is my 'favorite'.

1981 Celtics
1984 Celtics
1986 Celtics
2001 Patriots
2003 Patriots
2004 Patriots
2004 Red Sox
2007 Red Sox
2008 Celtics
2011 Bruins
2013 Red Sox
2014 Patriots

The Colts won the '06 season for me.

Awesome, me too, when I was 6 and don't remember it much. I remember 88 alot more. I went to a bunch of playoff games this year too along with my wife who was then about 6 days away from giving birth to our daughter. Real trooper she was.

Radii · 01-12-2016, 04:45 PM

UNC Basketball in 82, 93, 05, and 09. I was only 5 in 82 and don't really have vivid memories of that one, though I know I was watching w/ my family live.

I was a Lakers fan in the 80s (more specifically I idolized Magic Johnson). I was no longer a Lakers fan during the Shaq/Kobe years.

At this point I haven't watched a college basketball game in 3 years, so if UNC wins another title I probably wouldn't even "claim" it. I do feel as invested in Carolina Panthers football right now as much as I ever did in UNC, minus the life or death feeling that came along with it at as a younger kid of course.

MIJB#19 · 01-12-2016, 05:25 PM

Some of you are cheating, claiming to have four or more different favorite teams. Try being a fan of a soccer team that isn't the local equivalent of the New York Yankees.

I'm also wondering how many are voting yes because a team won say the conference title or pennant without the super bowl or series.

SlyBelle1 · 01-12-2016, 06:57 PM

My absolute favorite sports team are the Steelers...seen multiple titles....

Second favorite team are the Penguins, see multiple titles for them as well...

+1 sort of. Honestly, those years were so great I don't need to see another championship for myself. I'm more saddened by players like Romo and Witten more than likely never having a chance to experience a championship despite their hard work and great seasons for the team.

Travis · 01-12-2016, 09:23 PM

Edmonton Oilers won a bunch of titles before I was old enough to realize/appreciate just how good they were.

Blue Jays, well, those were fun years but my favorite has to be the Seahawks win. I was spoiled as a kid between the Oilers and Jays, the Seahawks were really the first time I got to experience the heart break first, then really enjoy the ride when they finally got their first SB.

'92 & '93 Blue Jays. '95, '00 and 2003 Devils. I don't have a favorite basketball team. And I'm a Jets fan, so no Super Bowls probably ever. But it's okay. Forgot about Port

I don't really play the "2nd favorite team" bullshit either. I will obviously sympathize with a second team if there's a compelling reason, but it's weird for me to root for more than one team in a particular sport. Doesn't feel right. But there are instances where I think it can make sense, like you grew up with a team but then moved somewhere entirely different. Or one was your dad's favorite team or something. No different to me than players who change teams these days.

But yeah the soccer thing is different, for sure. Forgot about Portland Timbers this year, but not a rabid fan, though I was a supporter back when they were still in the USL.

I was spoiled as a kid between the Oilers and Jays, the Seahawks were really the first time I got to experience the heart break first, then really enjoy the ride when they finally got their first SB. __________________ "I don't want to play golf.

Young Drachma Dark Cloud Join Date: Apr 2001	'92 & '93 Blue Jays. '95, '00 and 2003 Devils. I don't have a favorite basketball team. And I'm a Jets fan, so no Super Bowls probably ever. But it's okay. Forgot about Port I don't really play the "2nd favorite team" bullshit either. I will obviously sympathize with a second team if there's a compelling reason, but it's weird for me to root for more than one team in a particular sport. Doesn't feel right. But there are instances where I think it can make sense, like you grew up with a team but then moved somewhere entirely different. Or one was your dad's favorite team or something. No different to me than players who change teams these days. But yeah the soccer thing is different, for sure. Forgot about Portland Timbers this year, but not a rabid fan, though I was a supporter back when they were still in the USL. Last edited by Young Drachma : 01-13-2016 at 07:26 PM.
