The Gipper Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 This year has been a good year for getting "Fresh Blood" into the title mix in the various sports leagues. So here are your questions along that line. Give your opinions: 1. The previously moribund New Orleans Saints (who after yesterday may be going back to being moribund) broke through and won a title for the first time since their inception in 1966. Now, this year, several teams who have either never won titles or for whom it has been over 40 years since their last title are leading their NFL divisions. Which of these division leaders would you like to see win the Super Bowl (Browns excluded because they are not on top of division): Atlanta Falcons, no title since inception in 1967 Seattle Seahawks, no title since inception in 1976 NY Jets, no title since SB III in 1968 Kansas City Chiefs, no title since SB IV in 1969 Tennessee Titans, no title since 1961 AFL title in 1961 2. The evil vampire bloodsucking Yankees have had a stake put through their heart and two "deserving franchises" who have gone a long time are vying for the World Series title. Who do you want to see win the World Series: The Texas Rangers who had never so much as won a postseason series since their inception as the Washingtion Senators in 1961, or The San Francisco Giants who have not won the World Series since playing in New York in 1954 when they defeated the Indians? 3. In the NHL this past summer the Chicago Blackhawks won the NHL title for the first time since 1961. They had gone longer than any other NHL team in awaiting a title. Though it is early, there are some division leaders who have gone a long time since winning or who have never won. Which of the following current NHL contenders would you like to see win the Stanley Cup: The Toronto Maple Leafs who have not won since their title in 1967 The Los Angeles Kings who have never won a title since their inception in 1967 The Nashville Predators who have never won a title since their inception since 1998 (they are currently leading their div.) 4. The NBA is the LEAST egalitarian league of all. In the past 30 years ONLY the following 8 teams have won NBA titles: Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Heat, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, 76ers. Choose ANY of the other 22 teams who have either never won a title or gone more than 30 years without one that you would like to see win the NBA title next year. 5. Almost all of the traditional powerhouses in college football have suffered setbacks. The best chances to see the BCS title game are in the hands of the following 7 undefeated teams, none of whom have sniffed a Championship in almost 50 years. Which one would you like to see win the National Championship: Michigan State, who last won a share of a title in 1966 Auburn, who last won a title in 1957 TCU, who last won a title in 1938 Oregon which has never won a title Boise St. which has never won a title Missouri which has never won a title Utah which has never won a title.

I'll pick Chiefs cause it ain't happening. 2. The evil vampire bloodsucking Yankees have had a stake put through their heart and two "deserving franchises" who have gone a long time are vying for the World Series title. Who do you want to see win the World Series: The Texas Rangers who had never so much as won a postseason series since their inception as the Washingtion Senators in 1961, or The San Francisco Giants who have not won the World Series since playing in New York in 1954 when they defeated the Indians? I'm rooting for the Rangers because I picked them to win it in the preseason right here in one of your surveys. Also, I had Vlad Guerrero, Nelson Cruz, C.J Lee and Cliff Lee on my fantasy team. They're my boys. (Even though I usually hate everything that comes out of the state of Texas). 3. In the NHL this past summer the Chicago Blackhawks won the NHL title for the first time since 1961. They had gone longer than any other NHL team in awaiting a title. Though it is early, there are some division leaders who have gone a long time since winning or who have never won.

The Leafs for their long tradition's sake. 4. The NBA is the LEAST egalitarian league of all. In the past 30 years ONLY the following 8 teams have won NBA titles: Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Heat, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, 76ers. Choose ANY of the other 22 teams who have either never won a title or gone more than 30 years without one that you would like to see win the NBA title next year. Cleveland Cavaliers. 5.

The best chances to see the BCS title game are in the hands of the following 7 undefeated teams, none of whom have sniffed a Championship in almost 50 years. Which one would you like to see win the National Championship: Michigan State, who last won a share of a title in 1966 Auburn, who last won a title in 1957 TCU, who last won a title in 1938 Oregon which has never won a title Boise St. which has never won a title Missouri which has never won a title Utah which has never won a title. Oregon, they always have cool uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 This year has been a good year for getting "Fresh Blood" into the title mix in the various sports leagues. So here are your questions along that line. Give your opinions: My own opinions 1. The previously moribund New Orleans Saints (who after yesterday may be going back to being moribund) broke through and won a title for the first time since their inception in 1966. Now, this year, several teams who have either never won titles or for whom it has been over 40 years since their last title are leading their NFL divisions. Which of these division leaders would you like to see win the Super Bowl (Browns excluded because they are not on top of division): Atlanta Falcons, no title since inception in 1967 Seattle Seahawks, no title since inception in 1976 NY Jets, no title since SB III in 1968 Kansas City Chiefs, no title since SB IV in 1969 Tennessee Titans, no title since 1961 AFL title in 1961 The Tennesse Titans, though I would like them better if they were still the Houston Oilers. Even so, they have gone the longest and I think that Jeff Fisher is a deserving coach who should get a SB title. Next, probably the Chiefs. 2. The evil vampire bloodsucking Yankees have had a stake put through their heart and two "deserving franchises" who have gone a long time are vying for the World Series title. Who do you want to see win the World Series: The Texas Rangers who had never so much as won a postseason series since their inception as the Washingtion Senators in 1961, or The San Francisco Giants who have not won the World Series since playing in New York in 1954 when they defeated the Indians? I think I will pull the Rangers, though either is really fine with me. I like Cliff Lee and I hope he stays there instead of grubbing for the Yankees cash. Besides, the Giants beat the Indians when they last won, and hell, I was only 2 years old but that doesn't mean I can't still hold a grudge. Right? 3. In the NHL this past summer the Chicago Blackhawks won the NHL title for the first time since 1961. They had gone longer than any other NHL team in awaiting a title. Though it is early, there are some division leaders who have gone a long time since winning or who have never won. Which of the following current NHL contenders would you like to see win the Stanley Cup: The Toronto Maple Leafs who have not won since their title in 1967 The Los Angeles Kings who have never won a title since their inception in 1967 The Nashville Predators who have never won a title since their inception since 1998 (they are currently leading their div.) The Maple Leafs. They have gone the longest, and nowhere would a Stanley Cup title be more appreciated than in Toronto. It would be like Cleveland winning a Super Bowl. Each city being the heart of their respective sport. 4. The NBA is the LEAST egalitarian league of all. In the past 30 years ONLY the following 8 teams have won NBA titles: Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Heat, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, 76ers. Choose ANY of the other 22 teams who have either never won a title or gone more than 30 years without one that you would like to see win the NBA title next year. The Cavs are the obvious answer, but let's be honest, they are winning the Title. Of potential contenders I would prefer The Hawks, the Suns, or even the Magic who with Dwight Howard have the best chance. 5. Almost all of the traditional powerhouses in college football have suffered setbacks. The best chances to see the BCS title game are in the hands of the following 7 undefeated teams, none of whom have sniffed a Championship in almost 50 years. Which one would you like to see win the National Championship: Michigan State, who last won a share of a title in 1966 Auburn, who last won a title in 1957 TCU, who last won a title in 1938 Oregon which has never won a title Boise St. which has never won a title Missouri which has never won a title Utah which has never won a title. I agree on Missouri. Their coach attended Akron Kenmore. Nearly ALL coaches of National title winners come from NEOhio: Urban Meyer, Tressel, Bob Stoops, Les Miles..even Nick Saban attended Kent State. And D'antonio, HC of Mich. State grew up in Zanesville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow baseball so I'll just say the Rangers since they haven't won a World Series. 3. In the NHL this past summer the Chicago Blackhawks won the NHL title for the first time since 1961.

Michigan State. If I wasn't an tOSU fan I'd be an MSU fan for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Texas Rangers. Nolan Ryan has done wonders with that club. Also the Cowboys suck so badly this year the fans in Texas need a winner. I don't know about that. If you are talking the whole state of Texas the Spurs just won a title a couple of years ago. And UT won a title about 5 years ago. The Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup about 10 years ago, and the Houston Rockets won a couple of titles in the mid-90s, as of course did the Cowboys. I can think of a lot of other states that are more in need of a winner. And if it was basketball or baseball I could see your point about the Canadiens, but this is hockey. Its their sport. On the other hand, they did pull out that OT winner against US(A) in that Gold Medal Game earlier this year. Perhaps they should just be satisfied with that.

I can think of a lot of other states that are more in need of a winner. I should have been clearer...football fans need a winner. Us Texans have high expectations for football and expect football championships every 2-3 years. And if it was basketball or baseball I could see your point about the Canadiens, but this is hockey. Its their sport. On the other hand, they did pull out that OT winner against US(A) in that Gold Medal Game earlier this year. Perhaps they should just be satisfied with that. Actually, most people believe the British invented hockey but the Stanley Cup is named after a Canadien. And don't forget, Texas is a really big state so, from a state perspective, we have to win things more often... PS, don't take me too seriously, I tend to joke a lot.

Us Texans have high expectations for football and expect football championships every 2-3 years That's a load of Blarney, ain't it? Ohio has every bit as great expectations for football and we also expect a championship every 2-3 years. That doesn't mean we get it. It looks like your hope for any decent football team from Texas lies with the DATs, as certainly the Cowgirls and the Longhorns are going nowhere.....though, maybe TCU?
