There's other teams I like, but those are the only ones that are "must watch."

Anything else is situational and pure short term entertainment only.

I enjoy pro sports and I'm not trying to tell anyone else how to live their lives, but I've never really understood people that put a pro team in the same stratosphere as an alma mater in terms of passion. I guess it's just people that, god forbid, actually enjoy winning

A decade ago, it would've been different. Football over Baseball and Denver, Atlanta at 2 and 3. I just don't watch pro sports as much as I used to.

Interesting:
1) MSU
2) STL Cardinals
3) Dak
4) Grizzlies/Titans

Teams I root against:
1) Mississippi
2) Alabama
3) Yankees
After that, I find myself pulling against teams that have had a long run (Patriots, Tiger, Bulls back in the 90s). After they fall, I tend to pull for a redemption championship for them. I liked Jordan when he came back, I would root for Tiger to win one more - that sort of thing. The only exception are the teams listed above, I would like to see them lose every game.

1. State
2. Celtics
3. Dak
4. Saints, it’s amazing to me how my fandom for the saints faded after the Super Bowl. It almost feels like my fandom is complete and anything that happens now is just gravy.

3… Dak, I suppose…

Im always shocked how little I’m aware of MLB these days. In my youth I could tell you the entire roster of the Chicago Cubs and probably who their best players in the minors were. Today?…. I mean.. I’m not even totally sure they still field a team.

In reality:
1) All MSU teams
2) my daily fantasy team that day/week - Fanduel has been a game changer for me, I love it

1) MSU baseball - it's been the only thing I can truly depend on and be proud of, all my life, and it's now no longer a joke that we haven't won a title;
2a) MSU football
2b) MSU basketball

After that, it's pretty much just watching all things in general, a lot of college sports across the board, NFL, the Braves some here or there. Maybe throw in the women if deep in the dance, maybe some golf, Tour de France, some high school here or there, Saints if I had to choose an NFL team, maybe the Titans or MSU players, etc.

No real interest in the NBA, MLS, NHL, EPL or MLB overall. I'd probably go to the games, though. Never really cared about Olympics and USA type sports either, just never seemed fair to me.

I've pulled way back on my care level recently. I still follow but I simply do not get mad anymore.

I don't know, man, OM worked out pretty well for Eli. And I'm not convinced Arch maybe shouldn't have went there.

I honestly think ole miss would have been a better choice for Arch. Not upset it didn’t happen though

1. State
2. Saints
Pretty sizeable gap
3a. Braves
3b. Texas Rangers
4. Baltimore Orioles

Outside of those, I generally pay attention to teams in NFL or MLB that have State ties. The only sports teams that I would say I'm a "fan" of, being short for "fanatic", is State and the Saints. I only passively keep up with the MLB until playoff time.

2. Spurs... only pro team I've continuously followed since the 90s, although really haven't kept up with them since the big 3 retired and Kawhi left, but Wemby could change that
3. Titans / Cardinals
4. former MSU players
5. local high schools, if I know any of the kids playing
