    I grew up in Cubs/Sox/Cards country, but raised right as a STL fan. ;) Everything else I just root for the home team here in TX. :)

    BTW, congrats to your Blackhawks!

    I thought maybe this would be a good idea. A lot of my weight has been put on by tailgating, or kicking back a ton of beer while stuffing myself with all the things you can imagine being unhealthy! I'd like to find more people that will find themselves also having my struggles when NFL season kicks off. I'm a diehard fan that just loves to talk smack and enjoys a good sports conversation!

    Once more people post on here, or send me a friend request, I'll plan on starting up a group. B)

    Die hard Packer fan here, but loved seeing the Blackhawks win last night. Bleed Cubby blue until I die, and sadly cheer for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

    Bring on the NFL!

    The group is growing for only being one day old. Should be one of the more active groups when it's all said and done. Can't wait to see how fun this will be during college and NFL football season!

    Add me!!! Add me!!! I am a huge Cowboys fan - since the days of Aikman and Smith - and in the last two years I cringe at the the NFL pre-season. It is the pre-cursor to months of beer, wings, and chips. Any help this year would be appreciated and I promise to return the favor! :)

    The group is public...it just gets buried in the group listings. Wish this app had a better group search.

    Hi all,

    I figure this group needs a "token" Canadian doesn't it? (sorry if one already exists). I am a crazy sports fan and an even bigger music fan (reliving my youth playing in a rock and roll band. I won't shamelessly plug the band unless you ask :) ). Need to drop 100 pounds (that's the goal anyway). So I saw the mention of a sports group and thought, oh yeah!

    So to the important stuff:

    NFL - Packers
    NCAA: Michigan
    NHL - Sabres (yes I know, but I remember the French Connection days)
    MLB - you know I have to love the Blue Jays
    NBA: meh, but I guess the Raptors if I have to choose

    Music:

    Pink Floyd, Ozzy, Foo Fighters and basically whatever rock is on my radio right now :)

    Please add me!!!!!!!

    Also, not really into the whole holding hands and singing Kumbaya (sp?), but I would enjoy the odd friend request on here.

    Edit: Forgot to mention, the past 4 years we have done some epic NFL trips. Will discuss later.....
