95% = vols
5% = other random NCAA football games I find interesting.

I haven't watched a baseball game since the strike in 1995. Millionaires fighting with billionaires over money and driving ticket and concession prices through the roof.

I don't care for the NFL. I doubt I'll watch the super bowl.

College football is it for me.

This is an extremely difficult question. Born into all-Vol family, grew up in Maryland and Tennessee (most of those years in Knoxville), i probably suffer slightly more if Vols lose in football, possibly because I've have been stuck in tideland nearly 40 years. My alma mater isn't an SEC school and competes in big-time athletics in only a couple of sports. Baseball fan for at least 60 years but i would nearly sell my soul for the Cardinals. Will revisit post in a couple of days.

Tennessee used to be #1 but the absolute lack of winning the last decade or so and the quality of college athletics in general has dwindled my fandom just a little.

Someone will be along to tell you to go find a new team and a “Tombstone Bye” gif shortly...

Go watch a minor league game. SO much more fun. Triple-A is basically like watching the Pirates.

Unaffiliated ball is also fun.

70% Vols FB
10% all other Vol sports
20% STL Cardinals (season ticket holder since 1982)
0% Rams (was a fan when they were in STL but, no more, since Kroenke bought & moved them to LA)
As an Arsenal fan, I can’t stand Kroenke either.

Yes, and YES!

Only to the new one, which is great. Would’ve liked to see one at the old place, which is a DUUUUUMP!

Yeah, he's a horrible person. Got his billions through marriage and cares nothing about the fans of the teams he owns. I understand he is all about the money so the move to LA met that criteria as the estimated $ value of the Rams has doubled since the move. What I don't get is why he continued to bad mouth STL and STL fans long after the move.

Here’s a fun exercise: if you had 100 “fandom points” to allocate to the teams you root for across all sports, giving more to the ones you care most about, how would it go?

I’d go:
*50 Tennessee Volunteers Football
15 Detroit Lions
15 Arsenal FC
5 Tennessee Volunteers Basketball
5 Tennessee Lady Vols Basketball
5 USMNT
1 Tennessee Volunteers Soccer
1 USWNT
1 Detroit Pistons
1 Detroit Tigers
1 Detroit Redwings

*At one time Tennessee Football would have probably been 70-80% but it’s dropped over the last 15 years unfortunately.

Great idea OP

Tennessee Football 35%
Cleveland browns 20%
Tennessee basketball 20%
Man City 20%
Army Football 5%
