Every once in a while I forget which members' "home teams" are which. Just thought I'd start a thread for those of us who care to elaborate on which team(s) they primarily root for.

 

If you could, try to stick to this format:

• High School
  
• College
  
• MLB
  
• NFL
  
• NBA
  
• NHL
  
• NASCAR
  

High School - Cov Cath & Notre Dame

College Football - University of Notre Dame

College Basketball - University of Kentucky

MLB - Cincinnati Reds

NFL - Cincinnati Bengals

NBA - NY Knicks

NHL - None

NASCAR - None

 

As long as they're not playing Cov Cath, I root for Beechwood and New Cath as well.

High School - Bracken & Lawrence County...possible addition TBA

College Football - University of Cincinnati

College Basketball - University of Cincinnati

MLB - Cincinnati Reds

NFL - Cincinnati Bengals

NBA - None

NHL - None

NASCAR - None

It's always nice to do this from time to time...

 

High School: Trinity

College Football: see avatar

College Basketball: see avatar

MLB: Minnesota Twins

NFL: Minnesota Vikings

NHL: None (Norm Green sold my team to Dallas and I've never really had one since, but I like Philly and the new Minnesota)

NBA: Rotates depending on which team has a group of players and a system I enjoy watching

 

*Also a fan of several other sports not listed here but have few actual allegiances in them.

High School - THE Covington Catholic Colonels/ NDA on the girls side (except St Henry girls soccer...neices)

College Football - Notre Dame Irish

College Basketball - UK....and anyone else that plays Duke.

MLB - Cincinnati Reds

NFL - Cincinnati Bengals

NBA - Celtics

NHL - The puck

NASCAR - Mark Martin......not Dick Trickle.

•High School - I will always be a Bluebird fan but also root for NewCath, Brossart and Campbell Co. since my kids go there. Also root for anyone who is playing CovCath.

•College - UK basketball, Notre Dame football

•MLB - Redlegs

•NFL - Always been a Dallas Cowboys fan but I'll root for the Bengals too.

•NBA - Boston Celtics

•NHL - No particular team but love watching

•NASCAR - Tony Stewart

High School - LaRue County

College - University of Kentucky (really only follow basketball closely. Could care less about football)

MLB - Miami Marlins

NFL - Don't watch

NBA - Like the Heat but there are a lot of players I really like and tend to root for them. Also root for the fomer UK guys. Not really strongly committed to any one team here.

NHL - Don't watch

NASCAR - Only watch live and I just root for more beer.

 

Btw, isn't MMA more popular than NHL now?

• High School - Boone County High School (my alma mater). However, as of this fall I will also be pullying for Lloyd, because I will be an assistant for the Freshman Boy's Basketball Team.

• College - Kentucky Wildcats in Basketball and Florida State Seminoles in Football

• MLB - Cincinnati Reds

• NFL - Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles

• NBA - Growing up it was the Bulls. Recently it has been Boston. Now, I don't really have one. I just like watching players.

• NHL - Don't watch.

• NASCAR - Don't watch, but if I had to choose then Jeff Gordon because of his #.

Hard to say since UFC numbers are most accurate when considering the actual number of pay-per-view buys and hockey numbers can be derived from ratings. There are also A LOT more hockey games. I do know that the Stanley Cup finals this year averaged 3.01 million viewers per night, which is a five-year low (Who wanted to watch the 8-seed Kings play the 6-seed Devils?). UFC is reporting about 1 million PPV buys for the last event, UFC 148.

 

I don't really know what to make of those numbers.

I don't really know what to make of those numbers.

Here are the three UFC on Fox numbers. Probably a more accurate comparison:

 

The first UFC on Fox show, featuring a heavyweight championship bout between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos on Nov. 12, 2011, did 5.675 million viewers, according to the Nielsen ratings.

 

UFC on Fox saw its ratings decline. The second, with a light heavyweight contender's match between Rashad Evans and Phil Davis as the main event, did 4.661 million on Jan. 28.

 

And on May 5, UFC on Fox 3 did 2.418 million total viewers and finished last in its time slot. It did win its primary demographic – people 18-49 – but in terms of overall audience, it finished below Shark Tank and CSI.

 

UFC on Fox 3 did go against the Mayweather card and wasn't really that good of a card to begin with.
