Well - my Colorado Avalanche took a nosedive in the second round of the NHL Playoffs, so I couldn't root for them for the rest of the quest for the Stanley Cup.
And then, the team I wanted to win the NBA finals - the Dallas Mavericks - just lost game 6 of the finals to the Miami Heat, which means the Heat have won it all.
What's a guy to root for now?
THE TITANS!
That's right, those Cal State Fullerton Titans. I'm not a big college baseball fan at all, but I do root for the Titans. The Cal State Fullerton campus is right across the street from the college that I went to, and one year the baseball players for some reason ate in our cafeteria. The roster for the Titans that year included Phil Nevin, who now plays for the Texas Rangers I believe (he has played for several teams in the last few years which makes him hard to keep track of). Most CSF sports were and are horrible (they got rid of their football team when I was in college, because it stunk so bad.), but their baseball team has always done well - in fact, they won the whole thing in 2004 and in 1995 (they took second my senior year of college).
Anyway, the Titans are once again in the College Baseball Tournament Bracket, hoping to make it to the College Baseball World Series. They came back with three runs in the ninth to beat Georgia Tech in an elimination game, and then tonight they came back against the number one seeded team, Clemson. Now they have to beat North Carolina twice in order to make it to the World Series. Go Titans!
