I made an observation in my new state today. I witnessed some of the Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners rivalry fanaticism. It was crazy to say the least. These folks go CRAZY! Anyway, I saw a minivan that said "house divided" on the back window and half the van was painted in TX colors the other half in OK colors. Which brings me to my question; What makes people choose their teams? It's obvious to pay homage to your state or your college. But what are some other reasons? Here are my teams and why.
NFL - Packers. Why? cuz they kick ass. I love the organization and Favre is beast. He has so much fun playing football. I also visited Green Bay when I was in college and they are all about their town. It's amazing. If you get a chance to visit, do so.
NBA - Spurs - Always liked the organization and their players. Spurs for LIFE!
College - EVERYONE. I just love how entertaining the games are. I didn't go to a college with any teams so I just followed everyone.
NASCAR - Cool to watch. no fav driver though.
NHL -
MLB - Don't follow it. I Find it boring mostly, but it can have its moments.
