Re: Hierarchy of Sports Fanaticism

How many of each of the following afflict you, expressed as A / B / C?

A -- Unquestionably unhealthy (albeit profound) obsession: My son's hockey team (although I don't know if I qualify strictly as a fan, since I'm also a coach).
B -- Strong affection but not agonized to miss for, say, a cousin's wedding: UNH Hockey (downgraded from A in the last several years).
C -- Clearly root for but wouldn't give a second thought to missing for a movie: Sox, Bruins

Re: Hierarchy of Sports Fanaticism

A - Gopher hockey, twins baseball (As those who follow me on GPL know, I have dozens of spreadsheets dedicated to each, maybe 100 for the twins. I also have google earth files dedicated to the gopher hockey team with regards to recruiting among other things. Dead serious on both, truly unhealthy, sad really) B - Gopher basketball, gopher football
C - Vikings, Wild (although I'd put the Wild between B & C)

RFAlph - is that you?

A- Lil's sports teams
B- UML Hockey (not if they keep playing like they have- then I will beg to go to the movies instead)
C- Any sort of Track, XC, Horse competitions such as Dressage, 3 day events, Gymnastics, Ice Skating stuff.

Re: Hierarchy of Sports Fanaticism

A - UMD Hockey, Twins Baseball (Still way behind UMD)
B - Major Championship Golf, Vikings Football, Wild Hockey, UMD Football, College Football (Big Ten/Minnesota/Michigan)
C - Timberwolves (yeah why not)


Viking and UMD football playoffs, Wild Hockey playoffs, and BCS Bowl games are a different matter. I would hate missing all of those. They would certainly up my fandom. That should almost be a separate category.
