Every League has ONE!!!!! Part II

Now for the 4 pro sports leagues. I found that these stats are amazing, and that people just tend to root for the underdog. That is why we don't like teams that win all the time unless its our team. Americans tend to like underdogs, most people were rooting for the Cardinals in the Super Bowl because they usually don't even talk playoffs, and Pittsburgh has enough titles. Same thing in baseball last year, everybody was rooting for the Tampa Bay Rays to win the division and beat the Red Sox and Yankees all year. The only advice I can give is don't watch the movie Underdog, its terrible, but lets get to it.
MLB: This shouldn't be a shocker, they own there own TV network (YES), they own there own concession stand company to run there stadium concessions, they are number one in revenue and MLB titles. Yes I am talking about the New York Yankees. You either like them, or they make you sick because they have a ridiculous payroll and can buy anybody. 26 World Series championships, and 39 pennants.

NHL: This is great timing, because this team just got beat in a Stanley Cup game 7 on home ice. Yes I am referring to the team that throws an octopus on the ice for good luck. The Detroit Red wings. 11 Stanley cup titles, most of any United States team, 18 consecutive playoff seasons. Of late they dominant the NHL, they do what they want when they want, and always have good players who will take less money to play there for a title shot than go elsewhere. I will note that in Canada, they are either Montreal fans or against them. They have 24 Stanley Cups, but a lot of those were along time ago.

NBA: This team has 2,970 wins, 61.7% winning percentage in the NBA, 30 NBA finals appearances, 15 titles, and no its not Boston. The Los Angeles Lakers dominant the NBA in these categories except the NBA titles which belongs to Boston at 17 titles. The Lakers organization has built themselves an empire in the NBA, and they are constantly good, and have good players.

NFL: This is a tough one, at least i thought until i dug some info up. But the NFL is different, mostly by decades. Right now its New England Patriots, in the 90's it was the Dallas Cowboys, in the 80's it was San Francisco 49ers, in the 70's it was the Steelers. But the team that is the one in the NFL is the most valuable team in the United States, 2nd in the world behind Manchester United (who would of thought a soccer team was #1) at $1.612 Billion, they generate $269 million a year. They have 5 Super Bowl Championships, 8 conference championships, 41 victories on Monday Night Football, been in 14 NFC Championship games and due to success and popularity have been named AMERICA"S TEAM, the only team to have a Star on their helmet, the Dallas Cowboys.

Every League has ONE!!!!!

Its very true, every major college conference in America and all 4 major sports leagues have one team that nobody can stand, dislike, root for the team playing them. Its like those shirts that say " I root for 2 teams, the Cubs, or who ever is playing the Cardinals". Yes I am going to tell you who the disliked or hated teams are. With College it changes with the sport, like football and basketball. You will see what I mean as reveal.

ACC: For football I would say the Miami Hurricanes or better known as Thug U. For Basketball, its a no brainer, DUKE. Everybody hates DUKE. You are either a Duke fan, or you hate them.

Big 12: Football- Nebraska. You would of thought they created football. Yes they were good in the 90's, how are you doing now. Doesn't matter,once again, you either are a fan or dislike Nebraska. Jamie Pollard-Athletic Director at Iowa State wants to grow the fans base. Here is a hint, beat BIG RED, and the whole COUNTRY will be ISU fans, at least for that day.
Basketball: ROCK, CHALK, JAYHAWK. Yes Kansas. All big 12 fans want to beat Kansas. See the difference is sports, the whole conference wants to beat Nebraska in football, don't care about Husker basketball, do they even have a team?

Big Ten: Football - THEE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES. I am a Hawkeye, I want to beat them, and I want other teams to beat them. We rolled them at Kinnick in '04, great day.
Basketball: Indiana. The Hoosiers are the cream of the crop, not lately, but will be very soon again.

SEC: Football - no other than the Gators of Florida. I wanted Oklahoma to come out and punch them in the mouth for the title last year, didn't happen. By the way, the SEC has alot of teams they dislike, its whoever there team is playing.
Basketball - Kentucky, they feel they should be National Champs every year. Good Luck Calipari.

PAC-10: Football: GEE, I WONDER, maybe a team in Sunny Southern California, their band plays Battle of Troy 200,00 times during the game, yes the USC Trojans. Its true, their band may annoy me more than there football team.
Basketball - UCLA, they have tons of titles, they are like kentucky, Duke, but on the west coast. They think they should win all the time.

Very Soon I will reveal the MLB, NHL,NFL, & NBA teams that everyone dislikes.
