1. Where do you live and what do you/your husband do?
2. Which teams do you root for (college, pro, whatever) and why?
3. Which sport is your favorite to watch? Least favorite?
4. Which team(s) is your least favorite?
5. Did you play any sports in high school or college?
6. Do you attend many athletic events? If so, which ones?

Re: Introductions/Poll!
1. Where do you live and what do you/your husband do?
My husband and I live in Auburn, AL. I'm from Minnesota, he's from Iowa and we lived in southeastern North Carolina for a few years for his job before we moved to Auburn in '08. I work in undergraduate recruitment (marketing and comm) at a university and he's a coach at the same university.
2. Which teams do you root for (college, pro, whatever) and why?
We both root for Auburn (obviously!) since we live here, work here and both love it to pieces. I'm also a huge Tarheel fan (went to school in NC) and I have to cheer for my home school University of Minnesota--even though there really isn't much to cheer about there. And I'm also a big UT fan. The only pro team I really follow closely is the Braves. I guess my favorite NFL teams would be the Falcons and the Colts. And now the Panthers, thanks to Cam
3. Which sport is your favorite to watch? Least favorite?
College football, hands down. Next favorite would be college baseball, college basketball. My least favorite to watch is soccer, NBA and NASCAR (if you consider that a sport).
4. Which team(s) is your least favorite?
Alabama, Iowa, Duke and Oklahoma.
5. Did you play any sports in high school or college?
In high school I was a dancer (ballet and jazz mostly). I competed with my school and also with serveral studios. I was also a competitive gymnast for my school and a gym. And I played tennis. DH played college football.
6. Do you attend many athletic events? If so, which ones?
Tons! A perk of living in Auburn and having free tickets through DH's job. We go to all home football games and a few away. We are going to the soccer game Friday but its the first one since being here. I go to all of DH's games that I can and also try to make it to lots of basketball and baseball games. Gymnastics meets, too, if we have time.
7. What is your favorite sports moment that you were a part of/witnessed in person?
I wish I could say watching Auburn win the National Championship out in AZ this year but we were unable to go since we were in the middle of an IVF cycle. I'd probably say either the SEC Championship or rolling Toomer's after the Iron Bowl or the National Championship this year. It was an absolutely unbelievable experience to be downtown during those times!
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs

7. What is your favorite sports moment that you were a part of/witnessed in person?
After the Red Sox won thier last world series, DH and I were at Gillette Stadium the night before Christmas Eve, and there, on the Jumbotron, inside the tunnel, were members of the Winning Red Sox team with the trophy! So freaking cool to hear the Dropkick Murphy's start playing and then see them all come out on the field....
My DH and his friend were at this game too! He said that it is probably one of THE best baseball games he's ever been to in his life. They were up in the corner in the outfield so they couldn't quite tell if it was in or not, but when everyone started jumping up and down and cheering, they knew it was in. I wish I could have gone, but I had to work late that night, so I caught it at a bar with another friend, and the bar went NUTS. It was awesome.
That's so crazy! Yeah, we were in the bleachers and I spent the top of the 10th-12th with my head in my hands. The pressure was so intense. I was so scared that the bullpen was going to give it up. Julian Tavarez I believe pitched the top of the 12th with a broken hand from going apeshiit on a cooler in Houston. The media was so entranced by what the Red Sox were doing in NY that they completely ignored the Cards/Astros series which was itself rather amazing. We have a picture of Jim Edmond's reaction to that home run framed on our mantle. Epic.

It was my senior year at OSU, and we hadn't won a Homecoming game my entire college career. We were playing K-State, and the game was close the entire way...then it came down to a last-second touchdown that closed out the game. The stadium went crazy...it was the most awesome feeling.

5. Did you play any sports in high school or college?
I did, thank you for asking! I've been a ball player my whole life. (Er - I WAS. Until I got old and fat.) Started in-house, moved to travel ball, excelled in high school (can I brag? I was all-state.), scholarship to a semi-reputable university program on the south side of Chicago. I miss it terribly.
6. Do you attend many athletic events? If so, which ones?
Back before I got married and had to spend my money on grown-up things, I was a partial season ticket holder for the Chicago White Sox. Now, the husband and I usually attend a few ballgames a year on both sides of town. What a dutiful wife I am! Bear and Hawk games are usually sprinkled in there, one every year or two. They're much more expensive, and we're pretty cheap. :P
7. What is your favorite sports moment that you were a part of/witnessed in person?
I've got two:
- I was at Game 2 of the ALCS at The Cell in 2005, the year we won the series. You might remember this as the "drop third strike" game. (A.J. Pierzynski, Doug Eddings... ringing any bells?) I don't think I've ever heard anything as loud as when Joe Crede hit one off the left field wall after that call.
-The other was last year. I was at Game 3 of the Western Division Finals in 2010 (the year we took the Cup!) Hawks played the Sharks, and won 3-2 in OT. Again, you've never heard anything louder. Remember the Roar!!

Yep-- Brewer games, Timber Rattler (Brewers single A team in our hometown) games, Gambler Hockey games in the winter, one or two Packer games a year

The Brewers game a few weeks ago. In one game they had 4 double plays and a triple play (only the sixth in franchise history). AMAZING!

I live in Kansas. My H is a computer programmer and I work in insurance. Well, we both do.
2. Which teams do you root for (college, pro, whatever) and why?
We don't watch professional sports much (not sure why he doesn't, I just don't get into them) but we cheer on K-State. We attend random Royals games when we can find the time to make the drive, but we mostly watch on TV.
3. Which sport is your favorite to watch? Least favorite?
Favorite is probably football. Least? Baseball games I'm not invested in (i.e. not the Royals) on TV.
4. Which team(s) is your least favorite?
I don't get this invested in it, I guess.
5. Did you play any sports in high school or college?
I played soccer in high school and in college. I loved it, had to quit because a) I had knee surgery and b) the school I transferred to didn't have a soccer team.
6. Do you attend many athletic events? If so, which ones?
Not really. When we can, we go to games.
7. What is your favorite sports moment that you were a part of/witnessed in person?
Last year, when K-State beat Texas at home when they were ranked #1. (They beat KU as a #1 that year too.)
