The Sayer and the Namer

College Football/Basketball: Oklahoma! They are almost always amazing in the regular season. They set National records. They win Heismans. They win BCS votes. They get to the BCS game, and they lose. All. The. Time. After Oklahoma, I root for Ohio State. They are consistently good. They have amazing athletes, and they also get BCS votes. They get to the BCS game, and they lose. All. The. Time. They can get to the basketball NCAA championship, but they lose those as well. *Sigh* Disappointment at the end of the year for college sports. 

NFL: I'll admit, I'm a lot bigger fan of college football than I am of NFL, but I root for the Cowboys and the Texans.. Let's look at them:

Cowboys: I love Tony Romo and Jason Witten. Really, other than those two and the team's close proximity to OKC, that's the only real reason I root for the Cowboys. They are decent in the regular season, then drama, drama, drama. I'm not going to lie, I kind of like the drama of the Cowboys. I know it's ridiculous and annoying, but you have to admit, it adds to the intrigue. It's like a man soap opera! Good TV! Anyway, poor Tony Romo just cannot win the big game at the end of the season. They lose the big game All. The. Time. *Sigh*

Texans: In theory, they should be good, but they're not. That's about all on the Texans front. 

*Sigh* Disappointment at the end of the year for NFL football. 

NBA: Well, I'm a charter fan of the OKC Thunder, and a longtime fan of the Houston Rockets. Sadly, we'll start with the Thunder. They are just...bad. I hate to say it, I really want them to win, but they're just really terrible in the 4th quarter. They play the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters really well, but they seem to forget that there's a 4th. *Sigh* Disappointment all year long for the Thunder. Then there's the Rockets. Much like the Texans, on paper they should be a great team. Injury, sick, injury, sick, and then they make a great run at the end of the season and make the playoffs! Yay Rockets! Then comes the 1st round....and they lose. All. The. Time. *Sigh* Disappointment at the end of the NBA season. 

Baseball: Sports offseason for Erin! If I had to say who I root for, I would say the Astro's, but I couldn't name 5 players on the team. I hate baseball, and could care less who wins. As long as it's not the Yankees or the Redsox. They're both obnoxious. 

My long, frustrating point here is that perhaps I'm a curse on my teams. Maybe I should root for the teams I really hate, and then they'll start losing and my teams will be rid of the unluckiest fan there is! From here on out, I declare myself a fan of the LSU Tigers, The USC Trojans, and the Florida Gators. I will root for the Boston Celtics and the New England Patriots. I'll cheer my heart out for the New York Giants, and for the Yankees and Bosox. Those are my new teams that I hope I can curse. Gag....I can't do it. I'll have to secretly root for my real boys, heartache after heartache. Disappointment after disappointment, because that's what a sports fan does. We have to be long suffering. If we won everything, that would be no fun! The heartaches make the victories better. I'll keep rooting for my teams, I just won't let the sports fates know :)

Let me drown in my sports misery tonight. Tomorrow will be better. I'm going to the Thunder/Rockets game, so either way, one of my teams has to win! Horray for a victory!
