College- I'll watch Hampton play Grambling in November I love college basketball so much; but I don't really root for or against anyone, just good basketball.  I'm pulling for Indiana (because the fans really threw Mike Davis under a bus), Gonzaga, and a few others in the tourney (including Villanova being from Philly), but I certainly wouldn't call myself a fan.  

Like Bulliever, I openly root for every other team in the state to lose every single game.  During any UF-FSU game, I root for team infighting, poor coaching, and general incompetence.  I root for ignorant, fickle fans to turn on coaches and boo their own players.  I root for any overhyped players to fail miserably on the biggest stages.  I root for chaos and debauchery and whining.  The worse off they are, I say the better for us.  

MLB-Phillies, grew up in Philly, had season tickets as a kid

NFL-Fly, Eagles, Fly

NHL-Lightning (I burned my Flyers gear when they made the Lindros trade 16 years ago)

NBA-Sixers as a kid, Magic when I lived in Orlando, but don't feel much allegiance to either anymore.  I still like Iverson though, he's the perfect guy for that city.  

English Premiere League-Manchester United (though I root for the demise of the Glazer's every day)

2. NBA - Heat

3. MLB - Marlins/D-Rays

4. NFL - Bucs mostly, but Jacksonville and Miami as well, also Carolina kinda bc they treated us very well in Charlotte.

5. NHL - Lightning (Though I am a bandwagon fan  :-/ )

First and foremost I root for Our Bulls in every sport no matter what! Bleed Green and Gold!

College - Miami in football because from close to miami and dad had season tickets since I was 4 so if there not playing USF I root for the U. (I was at the Orange Bowl this year in Green and Gold rooting against the Canes for first time!) Unc in basketball when there not affecting USF have liked Unc since visited there when I was 6 yrs old!

NFL - Miami Dolphins (Daunte Culpepper we have a QB NOW woohoo!)

NBA - Miami Heat always loved the heat from Rony Seikaly days till now and the best player to watch on tv Dwayne Wade!

NHL - Didnt really ever watch to much hockey growing up but since coming to tampa love going to watch the Bolts!

MLB - The Insert City here Marlins! Hey we have 2 World Titles! I just wish we could keep our team! Still got the D-train!

NCAA - I was born and raised in Miami and went to UM games since I could walk. I root for Miami and Army (veteran)

NBA: N/A

NFL: Bucs (root for the home team) (season ticket holder)

NHL: Lightning

MLB : Devil Rays and whoever plays Yankees

I do get a kick out of how some people from Tampa or central Florida root for the Dolphins, I moved to Tampa and became a Bucs fan. I love football and love live football so it made sense to root for the home team and buy season tickets rather than watch Dolphins on TV. Now I hate the Dolphins because of their fans.

I think I have answered this query a dozen times on this board over the years, but here goes again.....

College:  Washington Huskies.  Grew up in Seattle; before pro sports there, every kid loved Jim Owens' Dawgs.

I don't like pro sports.  I DO root for Chucky Atkins, Kawicka Mitchell, Ant Henry, and Ross Gload (hopefully Andre Hall soon).

Normal

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
