1. Other: I don't watch sports
Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 09:37 PM by primate1
Well, not competitive sports. I like to watch skateboard and snowboard videos, but that's the extent of my sports watching.

2. Against.
I'm just that kind of girl.

And I really hate Duke. Hated them since the Laettner days. He made me want to puke.

8. Well, at least we got the Wild to root for.
Hopefully they can do something this season.

I'm not going to hold my breath, though.

10. I always root FOR the Longhorns and
FOR any team that is playing whoever I happen to be against at the time. I reserve the right to decide which team that may be on the spur of the moment and to change my mind in mid game if it suits me.

12. I'm 50/50
I'm for any and every California team (what can I say, it's home and I can't help but root for my state - yes, even the Raiders)! When Ca. teams play each other, I root for the Angels, the Lakers, and the 49'ers.

I root against the deep south state teams (Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, etc.)
