A world championship doesn't apply to college of course but I definitely cried for all 3 of the Gator titles but I'm more passionate about college sports & I go to the University.

I did not cry when the Braves won but I got emotional, same with the Lightning. It's just not the same for pro sports for me.

Thinking about the Eagles winning the Super Bowl can bring tears to my eyes.

I cried when the Colts won on Sunday.

I knew it was going to happen too. I suggested earlier in the day that a good prop bet would be who cried first, me or my friends 4 year old daughter.

I teared up when the Sox won in 04. If the Islanders won again i prolly would, some of my first TV was the last of the Islanders Cups in the 80s. I also might if the Jets won, but not if the Nets won i dont think.

I voted no, but who knows what would happen if it actually happened. I don't think I would have cried last year is Seattle won the SB. I probably would have jumped around for 20 minutes and pounded 10 beers. Maybe I haven't suffered long enough.

Default Re: Would your favorite team winning a world championship bring tears...

I had tears in my eyes this past October

it was sort of the culmination of a really fantastic era

There are 3 teams I really care about--Cardinals baseball, Illini bball, Illini fball

Illini bball had been on a rampage since 2000.
2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 big10 champs
finished one game off in 2003 & 2006
25+ wins in 6 straight seasons
2005 final four
disappointing that Self couldn't take the 2001 to the final four

Since 2000, Cardinals had been in the playoffs every year but one (Bartman year 2003 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], which was still enjoyable for me)
2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 NLCS
Best regular season record in the NL in about 1/2 of those
2004 World Series
2006 World Champions


I don't root for nobodies, but I definitely don't support the headliners.
In an odd way, it was finally a culmination after coming close so often.

Now, if the teams fade, I can rest happy.
