Re: GTKY: Hello, Sports Fans!
Favorite teams/players?
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) I love the traditions and superstitions surrounding sports, they’re really interesting to me.
I like to watch baseball on TV and attend in person. We like to spend summer nights at a local farm team’s field. Bonus: It’s where the Racine portions of A League of Their Own were filmed.
I’m a teacher, so I also attend a lot of school sports events too.
Favorite teams/players?
Go Cubs Go! Have you seen Kris Bryant?
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...)
Favorite teams/players? Chicago Cubs - Rizzo is my favorite, followed closely by Kris Bryant.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) I’m not really a
sports person in general, but really got into the Cubs after going to my first game a few years back.
Also a teacher, so lot of school sports here, as well. My high school girls won the state basketball championship this year.
Favorite teams/players? The Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Tigers. Though, honestly, with how bad the Tigers have been, I've been watching the Red Sox quite a bit this year because I love JD Martinez.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) Grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and now live in Ohio, so despite my Packers love, I've never been to Lambeau. It's pretty much the top of my bucket list.
@purpleteacher82 @swanbrooner One of my best friends from college lives right across from Wrigley. What a great place to see a game! Plus, we go in the summer and sit on his porch and listen to concerts.
I love watching baseball and going to baseball games a few times a year.
Favorite teams/players?
I love the Toronto Blue Jays, they're the only team from Canada. They are having a rough year though. My poor Jays.

Growing up, baseball was HUGE in my house. I can remember the '92 and '93 World Series and under no circumstances were we allowed to talk to my Dad while the game was on.
We are are a HUGE baseball house, and the Sox have been a blast to watch this season.
Totally bragging here, but I am a 2-time fantasy football champ as well. I wish I could put it on my CV, lol.
Anyone here into college sports? MSU football or basketball?
@greenbee I can’t remember if I already tagged you to say this but I used to swim! In fact, that’s how I met my husband, good ol’ swim-cest. He was a distance freestyler on scholarship, and I was a bench warming scrub (breaststroke).

Favorite teams/players? Buffalo Bills... since before I can remember.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) ... yes, Buffalo Bills games are crazy. I’ve never experienced the insanity reported after the games but it’s definitely not safe for kids. We won’t be taking DS for many, many years. There is something special though about being a fan of a local team with such a... sad history. We’re hardcore (even in the snow) and there are no fair weather fans of the team. DS is already being brought up as a fan too. Sorry buddy!
Also, I swam breaststroke, too! (And was an IMer as well.)
@meggyme My dd loves the water, too! So much fun to watch. I did formal swim lessons with her when she was really small last summer, but this summer, I've just been taking her swimming as much as possible on my own.
This should probably be under unpopular opinion, but I don’t understand you baseball people... It’s like watching paint dry
We (my family) are big OSU football (and really any sport) fans. We watch every game and sometimes together. DH’s (and his family) are huge into hockey which I enjoy going to the games not so much on TV. I love going to baseball games. DH and I watch NFL every Sunday whether it’s our favorite team or not.
Favorite teams/players?
OSU football, Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds
DH and I used to work for a NHL coach (we helped admin his summer camps) so we follow whatever team he’s working with last year it was the Capitals.

DH and his family are big Browns fans. This has caused multiple petty problems in our relationship over the years. Most recently when we had our son and at the baby shower I was told that I shouldn’t open most packages because they weren’t “for me”. Okay let’s not tell the 8 month pregnant lady that she can’t open serveral of the gifts because she wouldn’t approve of them (you might as well just have not invited me). Ugh! Sorry to get off on that rant!
Far prefer to watch baseball in person compared to on TV but still enjoy it. We used to spend -all day- on sundays watching football - we’d get up early to do grocery shopping, come home and make Eggs Benedict and park it on the Redzone. For better or worse, since DD was born we watch almost no sports except “important” games and the puppy bowl/ super bowl.
Fav baseball team is the Washington Nationals and they are about to relocate their farm team stadium to about 15minutes from where I live and we are so so so excited to go to those games as a family!
My hubby likes the Redskins so I cheer for them by default, but I love Drew Brees and the Saints (no real reason, but probably because he led my first ever FFB team to #1).

Favorite teams/players? Notre Dame football, Yankees baseball.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) My favorite memory is sitting in the student section at a Notre Dame game. They are all so into supporting their team and the whole section is just a blast to be a part of.

Favorite teams/players? The Buffalo Bills will always be my team. I also pick up a new favorite sports team with each new military PCS so I also follow the Seattle Seahawks, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Washington Nationals and Capitals.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) Some day, I'd like to actually go see the Olympics. Winter, Summer, it doesn't matter. I was a swimmer growing up, so I really hope my kiddos will want to be on the swim team so I can spend my weekends taking them to meets, helping officiate, and even selling concessions or helping bring the lane ropes back in, I love it all!

Favorite teams/players? UofL, though I'm pretty embarrassed by the men's basketball recently. @mill1020 , I don't hate msu, I begrudgingly admire them and dread being inevitably beaten by them if forced to play them in March. Izzo is a freaking march genius.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) mostly, I can't wait to be done having kids/nursing so I can get back to playing sports - ultimate frisbee, pick-up soccer, volleyball, skiing, disc golf and swimming. Yes, I could still do those while pregnant/nursing, but I get too out breath and it's not as much fun when I can't be as competitive as I'd like.
@mamakate1616 @maggiemadeit I'm not really into fantasy football, but I'll play if someone sets it up. I'd be happy to set up a march madness bracket challenge, but I worry we'll all be a bit distracted.
@greenbee @meggyme I was a swimmer too - 200IM, 500 free.
@ashley14598 the UK/UofL rivalry can get similarly ridiculous around here, fortunately my family is pretty good natured about it.
Football! I love watching hockey in person.
Favorite teams/players?
I'm a diehard TN Titans fangirl, and have been since they became the Titans in '99.

I actually got to witness the Music City Miracle (way back in 2000) in person as it happened. We had thought it was over, and had started to get up to leave. Then the lateral pass happened and Dyson ran it all the way in. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric! It was pretty awesome to get to see something like that as it happened.
What sports do you like to watch on TV and/or attend in-person?
I'd always rather attend in person, but I will watch pretty much any sport (except baseball which I'll listen to on the radio) on TV. We watch a ton of sports in our house and tend to fall asleep to SportsCenter
Favorite teams/players?
College football: Alabama, Roll Tide!
NFL: Green Bay Packers
NCAA Basketball: Wisconsin
NBA: Memphis Grizzlies
NHL: Nashville Predators
MLB: St. Louis Cardinals

@mamakate1616 @maggiemadeit I'd definitely be game for fantasy football! I play in a number of leagues and really enjoy it!
@greenbee @meggyme @JaJuanY @mill1020 I was a swimmer too! So many swam-ers here! 100 back, 200 back, and 200 free for me.
I'm a football fan. Not too big into other sports, though I will go see an occasional baseball game, that is more about the experience than the actual game!
Favorite teams/players?
Green Bay Packers. We'd like to get more into college football this year so hoping to catch more Wisconsin games.
Favorite teams/players? Of course, I love my dawgs for college but I’m a Colts fan when it comes to the NFL. Always loved Peyton Manning as a child and it broke my heart when he became a Bronco. Being from Georgia, I’m a Braves fan too but they’re so much better to see in person.
Anything else you'd like to share? (Sports traditions, superstitions, memories; places or events you'd like to attend...) Our favorite girl’s name is Peyton. Guessing you can figure out where I picked that one
