Thread: Your Teams' Championships

Mr. Escobar's meaningless comments about the Phoenix Suns regular season play has got me thinking about the championships that my favorite teams have won. As he is a Cleveland Browns fan as well, I'm sure he can appreciate the 2 Broncos' championships. Most of us here will forever be thrilled about those. But what have your other teams won while you have been a fan?

I hafta say that I've been pretty fortunate that most of my rooting interests have won championships. They have definitely had their ups and downs, but most have at least 1 title to speak of. They are:

Kentucky Wildcats College Basketball...2 championships during the mid/late 1990s
Tennessee Vols College Football...1 championship in the late 1990s
San Antonio Spurs NBA Basketball...4 championships over the past 9 years
Toronto Blue Jays Baseball (I was a fan for @ 18 years bfeore they stopped trying)...2 championships in the early 1990s

My Leafs have yet to win since I became a fan. Same w/ the Mets since I switched over in 2003. The Vols baseball team has done well of late, but haven't gotten over the top. The Lady Vols have won a bunch, but I'm hardly a die hard when it comes to women's hoops.

Syracuse Orange NCAAB - Championship in 2003
New York Yankees MLB - 1996,1998, 1999, 2000 World Series Champs (Also lost the world series in 2001, and 2003) These are the championships that I've been alive for, and remember out of the 26 that they've won.
Penn State Nittany Lions NCAAF- Haven't witnessed a Penn State National Championship. But should've played for it in 1995, and won the Orange Bowl in 2006 capping a 12-1 season.
Denver Nuggets NBA - They just recently started making the playoffs
Colorado Avalanche NHL - Won the Stanley Cup their first year in Colorado (1996) and again in 2000.
Italy World Cup - Championship in 2006

South Carolina Gamecocks - Maybe next year!

Yeah, Penn State gets jobbed on a regular basis. JoePa has had 2 undefeated teams who didn't even get a sniff at the title. Bumpkus.

I put the titles I enjoyed in parenthasis.

NFL: Raiders - 3 (2)
MLB: Yankees - 26 (6)
NBA: Knicks - 2 (0)
NCAA Football: Michigan - 11 (1)
NCAA Basketball: UNLV - 1 (1) & UCSB - 0
World Cup: Spain (0)
La Liga: Seville FC - ?? Just started watching Spanish soccer a few years ago. I heard they won some cup recently but I have not figured out the structure yet. I also root for CA Osasuna only because they play for my birthplace.

I guess I should add the 4 I-AA football titles for Youngstown State. I am an alum afterall.

Well I'm 26 years old, almost 27, and if I had to calculate all my favorite teams chamionships since I've actually been a "real" fan I would be able to say I've enjoyed a total of 6 championships. 7 if you count a personal accomplishment in 1997 when the Central Ealges of Pageland, SC went 14-1 and beat Barnwell to win the state championship. (I played WR and S)

Ottawa Senators: 0
Binghamton Senators: 0
Boston Red Sox: 2004 & 2007
Denver Broncos: 1997 & 1998
UNC basketball: 1993 & 2005
Georgia football: 0
Sixers: 0

The ones I actually witnessed are bolded

Aggie football.......1 (1939)
Aggie basketball....0
Broncos...............2 (1997, 1998)
Stars..................1 (1999)
Mavericks............0
Orioles................3 (1966, 1970, 1983)

That I have witnessed:

Denver Broncos: 2 (1997, 1998)
Colorado Avalanche: 2 (1996, 2001)
Denver Nuggets: 0
Colorado Rockies: 0
Kansas City Royals: 0
Chadron State Football: 0
Colorado Football: 1 (1990, and being slighted at a chance at it in 2001)
Colorado Basketball: 0 ()
Arizona Basketball: 1 (1997)

However, if you count the back to back State Championships that my high school baseball team won during my junior and senior years...then I can add 2 more.

Is this the "bandwagon fan" thread?

If so, then I'll consider my "favorites" as well.

Besides my beloved broncos, "my" teams include the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Cowboys, KU Jayhawks, OU Sooners, Nebraska Cornhuskers.

That's well over 30 Championships all-together. I am obviously the best fan of all time.

way to turn basic boredom discussion into something hateful!

I'm only putting down the championships that have been won since I've been a fan.

Denver Broncos - 2
Milwaukee Brewers - 0
Alonzo Mourning - 1*
Milwaukee Bucks - 0
Iowa Hawkeyes BBall/Football - 0
Georgia Tech BBall/Football - 0

*Note on Alonzo Mourning. He's not a team(duh), but my favorite team was whoever he was playing for. Now that he's pretty much done, I've looked around and decided to be a Milwaukee Bucks fan, which has been horrific.

I love random fanship.
