Wake basketball
 
Wake football (first because I generally care more about college football than college basketball nowadays)
Wake basketball (assuming it's not a complete garbage fire like it is now)
Carolina Panthers
San Antonio Spurs


Atlanta Hawks (adopted because of Collins)


That's about it. 15+ years ago, the Braves would have gone up there with Panthers but I don't really care about baseball anymore.

Agreed that a Wake BB title would be the top prize out of all my interests. Just shows that deep down there’s still a yearning. Which makes the fall from grace so much more infuriating.

Agreed. And it’s not even close for me - maybe because Wake winning a football title wasn’t (isnt) realistic. Basketball title and wake in final four is my top prize from sports
 
1. Wake Football - This is top spot even when the bball team is good.
2. Atlanta Braves

Huge gap

3. Wake Basketball - used to be a smaller gap for obvious reasons.



General tv viewership interest:

1. College Football - I will watch East Central Tech vs West Middle State and love every minute of it.
2. NFL - I'm guilty of being a bandwagon fan. I keep a closer eye on the Dolphins and Panthers than the rest.
3. MLB - I pretty much only watch the Braves
4. College Basketball - If Wake isn't playing, then I don't watch.
5. NBA - Only the playoffs

A National Championship by Wake Bball would make me happier than any of the others winning a chip tho. :panda::panda::panda:

This is how I see this question - which team would I most like to see win its respective championship. And then ranking them I tend to put higher the ones that are most unlikely.

Wake Forest Basketball NCAA title - the ultimate
Charlotte Hornets NBA championship - just because the team has never been great, having a two month run like the Raptors did this year would be amazing
Wake Forest Football National Title - weirdly somehow is less unlikely than Wake BBall
Carolina Panthers Super Bowl win - close twice, and I still believe this one I'll actually live to see one day
 
A wake football national championship would be the biggest story in nc sports history.


College football is the biggest college sport nationally.
 
In terms of pure emotional attachment

Wake Football (emotionally, watch all games)
Tottenham Hotspur (though I spend the most time reading about them, watch all games)
Carolina Hurricanes (watch some games, follow blogs and scores)
Seattle Hockey Team
...

Importance of fandom:

NY Mets
Panthers

Emotional attachment (can make or break day):
Wake football (since Grobe’s first year)
Mets playoffs



Wake soccer
Wake basketball (pre Manning and latter box years)



Panthers

Mets regular season (# of games plus often early exist from playoff picture helps not getting too high/low aster a single game)

Wake baseball

Current wake basketball
 
Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia 76ers
Wake Football
Wake Basketball
Philadelphia Eagles

Wake basketball used to be first, but stopped caring years ago. Don’t really watch much NFL football
 
Wake basketball
Wake Football(tie)
Clemson football (daughters attended)
All other Wake sports


I'll watch all kinds of other sports - NFL (I casually pull for the Panthers), NBA (pulled for the Spurs/Duncan but now don't really care), PGA, random college basketball and football, etc. - but don't have strong rooting interests.
edit - I left off the Hurricanes. We go to a few games a year and generally will watch when they are on TV. I have learned to care much more about them over the past few years - they are probably behind Clemson football but ahead of everything else...

The fact that Wake basketball has been so bad for so long is terribly frustrating and makes me angry - but it doesn't make me care less. I am just resigned to the fact that we suck - and remain forever hopeful that we won't always suck. My wife (the Duke fan) often asks me why I keep watching - as we lose yet again - and I tell her I am a Deacon, not a Deacon fan. They are my team, good or bad. I feel certain that if Duke ever becomes bad at basketball and stays that way for a while, she will eventually lose interest (she didn't go there). But that can't happen for me.
