All pro sports I root for Houston, where I grew up and was raised.

All college - OSU obviously

Pretty simple for me.

Did you pull for the Titans before the Texans came to Houston?

NCAA FBS and D1 men's basketball: Florida. Closest to me and where I eventually went to. Strange though, because my dad was a huge Florida State fan when I started watching.

NFL: Buccaneers. Closest to me.

Edit: I'm from Jacksonville but the Jaguars didn't exist yet.

Think I refused to watch the NFL in those years honestly. I'd watch playoffs, and I guess I supported the 9ers the mose during those years, but not really too into it.

Then when I got to OSU, I was obsessed with the Buckeyes, and that was the same year the Texans returned.

MLB: Atlanta Braves. This is an obvious one, there aren't many pro ball teams in the South. I was fortunate enough to see the Braves beat the Indians at Fulton County Stadium for the WS when I was a young boy.

NFL: I'm not really sure I have a team. For the most part, I watch it for the love of the game and for gambling purposes. I keep up with former Alabama players, as well as those from other SEC programs.

NBA: See above, except that there aren't any Bama players to watch. I guess I would generally root for the underdog.

NCAA: Bama in every sport, duh.

NFL: Cowboys and Saints. Growing up, half my family was either a Cowboys or Saints fan. So, naturally I couldn't choose and gravitated towards both. But if the Cowboys play the Saints, I go for the Saints every time. I'm Saints all the way. I was born in raised in Louisiana, have family in NO, I have never even been in Dallas.

NBA:Lakers and Pelicans.I grew up as a Lakers fan. My dad was a Lakers fan. Shaq and Kobe, enough said. I actually recently became a Pelicans/Hornets fan recently. Some years back my friend and I use to joke on how we were bandwagon basketball fans. Im a Lakers fan who never been to California, and he was a knicks fan who's never been to New York. He said I should be a hornets/pelicans fan because Im from Louisiana and Saints were my favorite team. I told him he should be a Bobcats/Hornets fan because hes from carolina and panthers is his favorite team. so sure enough today I am a Pelicans fan. And he is now a Bobcats/hornets fan

CFB: Im LSU and Grambling all the way. My parents actually graduated from Grambling State. My dad was heavily recruited by LSU and other D1 schools to play football, but he chose Grambling to insure he get the playing time that he wanted(he started all 4 years so not a bad decision). My mom originally went to LSU her freshman year, but transferred sophomore year to be with my dad. They are both huge LSU fans so naturally it passed on to me.

CBB: LSU just because. But I just started following CBB very recently, the year Kentucky won it all. So Im still very new here

MLB; Whichever team looks like its about to win the world series in the playoffs. Other than that I dont watch that shite

College FB- LSU and NAVY. Uncle went to the Academy.

NBA- Lebron, so the heat. Then the Pels. I was grown by the time the NBA had a team so I have always just been on a bandwagon.

NFL- Saints

College Baseball- LSU

Don't care much about any other sports.

NFL - Saints (I was born and raised in BR and my dad was always a big fan.)
NCAA FB - LSU (Same as Saints)
NCAA BB - LSU (Same as Saints)
MLB - Twins (Never been a big MLB fan but my dad has lived in Minnesota for about 10 years and he's been a season ticket holder for 3 or 4 years. So if there's any team I would pull for it would be the Twins.)

STL Cardinals and Blues since I grew up in a suburb of STL

Saints and LSU because I went to grad school in LA after my folks moved there

No favorite NBA team. I was too old to start rooting for the Pelicans when they moved to NO and STL didn't have a basketball team. I tend to watch the NBA in the playoffs tho

Auburn: Because I spent 5 years there.

Falcons/Braves/Hawks/Thrashers(RIP): Because I've lived around Atlanta for 29 years, minus college.

UGA when not playing AU: Pulled for them growing up.

Cowboys: Because my parents hated them when I was growing up, and being an a-hole kid, I pulled for them. First jersey was Aikman.
