    And is it the same as your fiance?

    I loved the Braves growing up, and I love UNC basketball since I went to school there. But I find that I mostly root for my fiance's teams. If they win, he is happy, and then I am happy. :)

    He loves anything FSU, the Rays, and the Eagles. Oh and he grew up loving the Phillies and still is quite fond of them. I root for FSU during football season (UNC's football team is usually pretty bad!) and cheer for both FSU and UNC during basketball season (if they play eachother I'm a UNC fan!) I love the Rays too - we go to games all the time. And I cheer for the Eagles for purely selfish reasons. He sulks if they lose. :)

    I only follow the Lakers.  I was a huge baseball nut as a kid (Dodgers), but I hardly have the time to follow one sport, so the Lakers it is.

    We don't follow sports religiously, but our favorite teams are SJ Sharks and the SF 49ers.  I used to be more into baseball, so I've always liked the Oakland A's.

    FSU Noles for me, in anything, but especially football. I have pictures of me dressed up as a baby and toddler in a FSU cheer uniform. I have always wanted to cheer there. I own so much Seminole stuff it's insane haha.

    Yep, I'm the girl who always has a cheek tattoo on during gameday, whether I am at the stadium in Tallahassee, a bar, or watching it at someones house. What are your favorite sports teams? :  wedding Icon Razz

    My whole family is FSU fans also, except for the people married into it haha, they are all Gators for some reason, boooo. Lets just say game days can get very intense around here haha.

    As for my fiance, well he isn't hardcore for any school right now, since he grew up in both SC and TX and spent every year since highschool in the Army. So you know what that means Bees....I'm slowly but surely converting him to the Nole way of life. What are your favorite sports teams? :  wedding Icon Wink

    Huge braves baseball fan here!

    I also love the Cardinals as my grandpa briefly played with them.

    As far as college teams go, I heart the Univ. of Memphis Tigers, as I was both a pompon girl (freshman year) and thereafter the featured twirler!! GO TIGERS GO!!!  I am hoping and praying for an NCAA basketball win for them soon!

    I also love Ole Miss even though they usually beat us in football but so many of my family and friends went there.

    bellenga, I know what you mean, I'm the same way with my siblings/cousins. I even made the cutest tank tops with their name and numbers on the back (in the same size as on a normal uniform) filled with rhinestones in the team colors.

    Let's try this again!  Here's my little beau and his step brother:

    T is also a huge fan of whatever baseball team my son's on! He graduated from Emory so he's not terribly a bit college sports fan although I do think Emory has a baseball team.  He said years back, they used to sell silly shirts that said "Property of Emory Football"

    Ive never been a huge sports fan, so I just tend to root for the team with the prettiest colors when a game is on. Ha! But now that I'm with a Chargers nut, I'm kinda getting into it! Chargers it is!

    @ August15Bride and Bellenga: I totally grew up on the braves -- Dale Murphy was my idol as a child!

    FI and I are total college football junkies and since we have the same (AMAZING) alma mater we're both cheering for the same (AMAZING) team: the Georgia Bulldogs!

    My FH and I are both UGA alumni, so obviously... THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS!  SIC 'EM!  We both grew up as big Falcons and Braves fans, too.  Can you tell we're from Georgia?  It's been really fun to share our childhood memories of Falcons and Braves games.  I remember when Chipper was a rookie.  Wow.

    Since I am in the area, I love watching the Phils and Sixers as well. My FI is an all Philly fan. My favorite by far is going to watch the Phillies play at the park. LOVE it!

    I'm a Tennessee Volunteer through and through, and he is an Auburn Tiger, so many (mock) fights abound. One of the available dates for our venue was October 3rd, which happens to be when Auburn and TN play this year. We said NO WAY - I knew one of us wouldn't end up walking down that aisle. (Hey, we take our college football VERY seriously in the SEC!!).

     And of course we love the Atlanta Braves and the Falcons, and since I grew up next to a GM plant and all of my friends were from Michigan, I'm also a huge Red Wings fan.

    My husband and I graduated from the University of Michigan, so of course, we're huge Michigan Wolverine fans.  I'm also a fan of all the Detroit Teams: Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons.  Did you notice I didn't list the Lions?  Honestly, I gave up on them years ago...they're simply too depressing to watch.  In the NFL, I usually just root for whoever is on my fantasy football team.

    I definitely bleed maize & blue (and they are going to be my wedding colors) so I'm a wolverine through and through.  Also love the Pats (Tom Brady... swoon!), Cubs & Red Wings.  When we lived in London we lived about 10 minutes from Emirates stadium- so I'm also an Arsenal fan!

    My fiance is English, but he's really gotten into US sports- I've converted him to be a big Michigan fan, and his first trip to the US when he was 18 made him fall in love with all things Boston- so he's a celtics, pats & red sox fan too.

    Yankees.  I'm a HUGE fan, and have been since I started debating with my grandfather about the Yankees v. Mets when I was 6!

     FI doesn't like sports, but he's learning the intricacies of baseball so he can enjoy the games with me :)  Obviously I'm turning him into a Yankees fan too! :)

    We love the Eagles, Phillies and Flyers.  We do not watch basketball, but my guess is that if we did we'd root for the Sixers.  Philly fans through and through!  When I lived in LA, I loved to watch the Kings and Dodgers too.

    Oh man, August15bride, my husband will be so bummed that he didn't get his guys Michigan socks when he sees those!  At least I had a Michigan garter as my "something blue". ;)
