The Victors

I have the exact same story as a young fan, except instead of ND and UM it was Bulls and Pistons. My dad was a Celtics fan, he had no dog in this fight, be he HATED Isaiah. And when they walked off early my dad was disgusted. I still remember the day

• Daytripper, I’ve asked this before but didn’t see your answer (if you answered). What’s the backstory on you being a White Sox fan? - By WestSideBlue August 14, 2026 at 08:14:48 PM
  • I talked to a guy yesterday who grew up in Watertown NY but is a passionate Cleveland Indians fan - By syrfan August 14, 2026 at 10:14:44 PM
    • yup, that shit is cool as hell. the chicago stations on occassion would come in clear as day over the AM late night. As a kid in N. MI getting a Chicago AM station was near magic* - By Daytripper August 14, 2026 at 10:16:40 PM
  • He has a lack of testosterone.* - By MasterBates August 14, 2026 at 08:37:02 PM
  • I answered last time but will do it again: pops. Pops was a big sox fan. I loved Big Frank and sweet swinging Robin. All my fandoms were locked in by age 8 or so. Some I followed his lead, others I struck out my own. ND being the big one. He was a huge ND fan. - By Daytripper August 14, 2026 at 08:22:56 PM
    • Did you ever see a game at the original Comiskey Park?* - By brick August 14, 2026 at 09:54:47 PM
      • Yes, a couple. My limited memories are that it smelled of piss on the steps, ozzie signed for a long time after the games, and my mom (lol) asked my dad if lance Johnson was a statue in CF - By Daytripper August 14, 2026 at 10:15:29 PM
        • Awesome! I never saw a game there but have heard others mention a strong piss odor* - By brick August 14, 2026 at 10:52:46 PM
    • I was also a big ND fan in middle and high school. Mostly the influence of an uncle/cousins, and also just wanting to be a bit different than all my MSU or Michigan fan buddies. - By WestSideBlue August 14, 2026 at 08:33:18 PM

    • You should try the ND boards, I’m sure they would be welcoming based on your dad’s fandom. GR knows what I mean. * - By plug August 14, 2026 at 08:30:55 PM
      • Did GR ever take Bruno up on his suggestion?* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 08:32:02 PM
    • not allowed according to BBA* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 08:27:36 PM
      • lol. You have zero ties to the Knicks. It is really weird, as evidenced by how sensitive you are about it * - By BBA August 14, 2026 at 09:05:43 PM
        • What are you, my biographer?* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 09:13:18 PM
          • Hey, I'm walkin' here!* - By Daytripper August 14, 2026 at 09:29:23 PM
            • I have a reason I like the Knicks but who gives a fuck. BBa is playing the dumb internet game where if you don’t explain it you don’t have a reason and if you do, you’re being sensitive. Classic BBA* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 09:49:52 PM
              • You are starting to go full Lodz here. You brought this all up. I’m watching a movie with my kid and drafting a best ball team * - By BBA August 14, 2026 at 10:36:06 PM
          • I asked you the same question long ago. Your response was something about your cousin having lived in New York. Weird * - By BBA August 14, 2026 at 09:24:43 PM
            • lol no. Shit memory eh? You should see a doc for that* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 09:26:35 PM
      • What's that, have to root for the regional teams you grew up around? Missed that BBAism* - By Daytripper August 14, 2026 at 08:28:40 PM
        • yes* - By Poster P August 14, 2026 at 08:30:22 PM
