Ann Cannon: How can losing team like Cubs light your fire?

I liked watching Vance with the Cubs, Gifford Nielsen with the Oilers, Young with the 49ers, Ainge with the Celtics. Now I have no emotional or personal connections, so I don't watch anyone.

Oh yeah, for some time I was a Pirates fan, because when I was in little league, my team was called the Pirates. Those were the days when our Elementary school teachers would wheel in the tv and we'd all stop everything and watch the World Series.

Teams I support:

1. UTES Forever... Period.

2. Red Sox, because of Yaz and Carlton Fisk and Freddy Lynn, and because they could beat the Yankees. And, coming back from 3 games down in the ALCS to down the Yankees, could there be anything better? I say unto you, Nay.

3. The team formerly called Devil Rays (Living inthe TB area ya gotta root for 'em)

4. Any team playing against UF Gators and TB Buccaneers. How nausiating are they both?

The Steelers because Mean Joe Green and the rest of the Steel Curtain were awesome. I don't care about baseball. Although I played for the Giants when I was in WBBA. Barry Bonds ruined that for me. And I root for the Hillcrest Huskies because every week they give everything they have against teams that that have almost twice as many kids on their rosters. Go Dawgs!!!

1. Utah Utes, totally ingrained in me by my family. We've done the same thing to our children.

2. Highland Rams, my alma mater.

3. Brighton Bengals, all my children attended, attend, and will attend (as well as my husband).

I really try to cheer for BYU when they play someone outside of our conference; but the best I can do is not root against them.

I am a Cardinals fan!

I don't even watch pro baseball really, but I was born in St. Louis and went to a few games before my family moved. I was 5 when we moved. Going to the huge ball park, eating popcorn, and best of all getting Ted Drew's ice cream when it was over. It's a memory that I hold dear.

Plus that Ozzy Smith wasn't too bad of a ball player either.

I started being interested in the NY Yankees because of Bucky Dent. He was such a hunk! Game? What game?
