One team....one sport...one choice

    Hey, I can take it (and dish it out).

    I have to say, I'm kind of re-thinking this. I'm extremely loyal to UK basketball, football, Reds and Bengals. With that said, I've seen UK win 3 titles in my lifetime. I remember watching the Bengals lose their 2nd Super Bowl and the Reds winning the title in 90, but I was 8-9 years old.

    I'd have to say, a Reds World Series, a Bengals Super Bowl or a UK football title (okay, don't laugh) would be epic. I'm sure it's the same feeling for most OSU fans who are Reds, Indians, Browns or Bengals fans. OSU football and UK basketball are expected to contend for titles all the time. Pro football and baseball in Ohio is so maligned and small market, if one of those teams won it all it would be nuts.

    You are having the most trouble. C'mon Redmania....choose

    Fuck it. Reds. REDS. If the Reds win a World Series...I'll skip work (haven't taken a non-planned absence in 5 years), get drunk (haven't been intoxicated since I was 25, I'm 29) and eat a cookie (haven't eaten any gluten or other processed sugar in 2 years).

    REDS!

    Mixed Martial Arts, it's year round(no off season) and the most exciting/competitive sport in the world.

    I love watching MMA, boxing, Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, powerlifting, etc...but I can't say I really have many favorite athletes like I have favorite teams.

    Do you think you need favorite athletes in individual sports for that sport to rank near the top? I do.

    Absolutely, I have favorites in every weight class. Rooting for athletes definitely helps your interest level and makes it more compelling.

    Kind of a toss-up between the Pirates and OSU basketball. Right now, leaning towards the Pirates for the simple fact they have a good team now (if they were in the midst of another 57-105 season, I can't say I'd have the same enthusiasm) and OSU basketball is apparently attempting to schedule the most pathetic non-conference line-up of opponents possible, making 1/3 of the season a bit unappealing.

    Can't really choose NASCAR with the criteria, so I'd have to go with either Michigan football or the Reds. Probably Michigan football.
  • vball10set
    This is easy...Ohio State football.

    lol, seriously? :huh:
  • ohiobucks1
    Chelsea in the EPL. 58 games a year + Champions League + World Club Cup etc etc


    If it has to be American than OSU football for sure

    Michigan football.

    I can't decide. Every time it's in season I feel like that's the only sport that matters. Right now I'd say Indians, no question.

    But if you asked me again in November, I'd probably say Browns, no question.

    In December, Cavs, no question.

    In March, UK basketball, no question.

    So really, it's all just a big question.

    What do you do in overlapping seasons?

    Usually just bandwagon whichever team is doing best lol. By the end of the year I was way more into CBJ than the Cavs.

    The only exception is CBB. March Madness is great even when you have no horse in the race. (F'n Robert Morris).
  • GOONx19
    Realistically I'd probably take the Browns. A Super Bowl would top all else.
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    Patriots.

    Thanks for clarity and concisiveness.

    I am awaiting NCF's response on what JH girls basketball team he will choose..... Debating between the steelers and Reds. Reds would entertain for a much longer time, but the steelers 16+ games I guess could go all out for...........Still quantity over quality so Reds.
