1. College Football - The best rivalries, the most fan loyalty, the tradition, no other sport can really compare to college football.
2. NFL - Mainly the Colts and the Bears, but NFL football is very exciting too.
3. UEFA Champions League - Getting to watch the best players from countries around the world team up on clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona as the best teams from all the best leagues in Europe go at it is wonderful. With Purdue's high international student base, there is always a group to watch with at the Union as well. Oh, and I don't even have to go into the commentary. No retarded John Madden statements here. These games are so good you're both more cultured and more intelligent just for watching. If these games didn't come on during class time on Tuesday and Wednesday, this would have finished much higher.
4. Boxing when I happen to catch a Wednesday or Friday night fight on espn2, or HBO if they pull a big match.
5. Redwings hockey when I get a chance.
I cheer for three things in baseball:
1. That the Yankees win, proving baseball games can be bought.
2. Strikes (the players union, not on the field)
3. Everytime Barry Bonds is intentionally walked or, better, hit.
The NBA has seen better days.
Andre Agassi retired, so I don't really care for tennis.
Golf is fun to play, but not to watch.
I'll start caring about college basketball in February
