      Default Who Do You Root AGAINST?! (Not just when they play your team)

      The other thread inspired me to consider things from the opposite perspective.
      (Try to limit yourself to 2-3 teams per category )

      High School - (I'll get back to you...)
      College Football - Florida, Ohio State, USCal
      College Basketball - Duke
      MLB - Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs (but that's mostly tradition)
      NFL - Cowboys, Patriots
      NBA - Lakers, Celtics
      NHL - None
      NASCAR - None

      High School - Highlands football. (The range of their play goes from very good to great. A one loss season is an off year) They are a great rival for Cov. Cath. Would be an even better rivalry if we won one every now and then.

      NFL- Pittsburgh Steelers

      MLB - St. Louis Cardinals

      I'm not much of a "root against someone" guy.

      Lately, though I would root against Ryan Lochte.

      I really don't root against anyone. I focus more on supporting my teams.
