No one cheers for Rice.... My wife went to Rice and can't even cheer for Rice....
April 17, 200817 yr Sox Bills whichever team signs Barry Bonds Patriots Syracuse basketball for some unexplainable reason that's pretty much it
April 18, 200817 yr In order... 1. White Sox 2. Bulls 3. Bears 4. Black Hawks 5. Illinois basketball 6. DePaul 7. Loyola I'm old enough to remember the Chicago Packers/Zephyrs. When they moved to Baltimore and became the Baltimore Bullets I stayed a fan, up until the Bulls came along. Now that I've lived in Utah for nearly three years I've become somewhat of a Salt Lake Bees fan (Angels AAA affiliate). My son went to the University of Utah and I became a fan of the Utes. Out here the rivalry between the Utes and the BYU Cougars is pretty intense. You either like one or the other. I live only a few miles from BYU so I'm in Cougar territory. Nearly every one I know went to BYU, yet I like the Utes. It's at least a friendlier rivalry than that of any of the Chicago rivalries.
April 22, 200817 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:49 AM) It's not even close. The Cubs and Sox are in different leagues and are only tied by geographical means and it's only a big deal because fans make it out to be due to bragging rights. The Bears and the Packers, on the other hand, are a bitter rivalry, one of the oldest and most intense in all of sports, and they are in the same league and division. Their wins and losses directly effect each other. The Cubs/Sox wins and losses only effect each other in inter league play. Don't get me wrong - I root for the Bears in any game, including against GB. But I also happen to have a ton of respect for the Green Bay franchise. I mean, seriously - a town of 70,000 people with an NFL team that has a decades-long waiting list just to be part of a sellout crowd. That's gritty, and ballsy, and perfect for what Football should be, IMO.
