The advantage for fair weather fans of living (or rooting) in a large metropolitan area is that you have several teams from which to choose. In the Bay Area we have the 49ers, the Giants, the A’s, the Stanford Cardinal, the Cal Bears and the San Jose State Spartans (well they don’t really count). One of these has got to have a good season.
In the Atlanta area they have the Georgia Bulldogs (not much of a year so far), the Atlanta Braves who were in contention until the end, the Atlanta Falcons (who are doing well) and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
So this is all about diversifying one’s emotional bets. But if you live in Eugene or Boise it is do or die. One team and one fate!
