Ranking your favorite teams

My roommate and I randomly had the discussion of who our favorite teams were, in order. It's actually pretty tough to rank teams that you all love! I'm sure this topic has been done before, but I figure it would be interesting to see how people feel regarding their "favorites".

    1. UNC Tar Heels (NCAA Basketball)
    2. UNC Tar Heels (NCAA Football)
    3. ECU Pirates (NCAA Football)
    4. Dallas Cowboys (NFL)
    5. Carolina Panthers (NFL)
    6. UNC Tar Heels (NCAA Baseball)
    7. ECU Pirates (NCAA Baseball)

    Spent my Undergrad years at UNC (and still live in area and work for UNC), so can't help but be my favorites.
    Childhood home was in Greenville (ECU), so have always supported the home team
    Life-long Cowboy fan thanks to Roger Staubach and Tom Landry
    Panthers came into existence, so despite Cowboy being my favorite NFL team, gotta support the "Home State" squad also.

    Honorable Mention:
    Kinston Indians (Carolina League-Minor League Baseball). Used to travel with friends over to Kinston during the summer months to watch many baseball games and drink $1 beers--lots of fun memories.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    1) Red Sox (MLB)
    2) Celtics (NBA)
    3) Patriots (NFL)
    4) Chelsea (EPL)
    5) Bruins (NHL)

    No college teams. I went to a DIII school in Boston and never liked Boston College. I usually pull for good mid majors in college basketball and I'm such a big college football fan that I watch every important game without any rooting interest.

  • Here's mine but the first 3 are too close to really call:

    1. University of Central Florida football NCAA
    2. San Antonio Spurs basketball NBA
    3. Dallas Cowboys football NFL
    4. Tennessee Titans football NFL
    5. University of Texas football NCAA
    6. Atlanta Braves baseball MLB
    7. Florida Marlins baseball MLB
    8. Texas Rangers baseball MLB

    But this list has changed over the years especially with some of the management mistakes by the Cowboys and the Braves, and even the Spurs, and a couple fire sales by the Marlins.
    Collecting: non-sports (celebrities, movies, tv, Batman, Wrestling & Wrestling Divas, & more), and sports (Spurs, Cowboys, Braves and other favorites)

    I'm definitely a homer, so mine would be:

    1 Washington Redskins
    2 Washington Wizards - I've had a sick love of this team for 35 years
    3 Washington Caps
    4 Univ of Maryland (basketball)

    Outside of those, I used to have a wierd love of teams that wore red - particularly the Cincinnati Reds, KC Chiefs, and Detroit Redwings.
