Title: Championship Rooting Interest Record Post by: Illiniwek on January 24, 2017, 07:26:41 PM ExtremeRepublican gave me an idea. What is your history for rooting interest in championship games (or series), going back as far as you have followed the sport? I will do mine in other sports, but will start with Super Bowls.

I don't care who wins the other games.
