Packers lose to the Giants in the NFC championship game in overtime. Then go 5-9 as of this post.
Spurs lose to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals
Texas gets leap frogged by OU and loses their spot for the National Championship even through we beat them 45-35... hey shit happens.
Sam Bradford win the Heisman (OK he deserved it)
Is anyone else having bad luck like me this year? |

Brewers don't make the postseason.
Badgers lay an egg.
Bucks going nowhere fast.
Yeah, it's been that kind of year. |

Well.........the Milwaukee Bucks won it all i believe in 1969 or 70.
The Brewers have NEVER won it all.
The Packers, once in the last 40 years.
We all have some rough times with "our" teams.
Just remember......you don't love them because they are good, you love them because they are YOURS. |

Obviously, the Packers playing as bad as they're doing now.
PSV Eindhoven for being at spot 4 (Trailing 9 points), while winning the league 4 years in a row and sucking so bad internationally.
Lets hope Sven Kramer can win another medal or so :p.
I would put in a baseball team here, I really like the sport, but I have no idea who to support. I don't live anywhere close to America, so I don't really have anything in this region. It isn't televised here either, except for the national games... Brewers are the only Wisconsin team though...
And indeed Cheesy, there's a big difference between fans and bandwagoners. I guess the Packers bandwagon got a whole lot lighter this year. |

Just look at how many "band wagon" jumpers we had this year. And thats fine with me.....screw em! There's more room for US now! Truth is......there is only ONE team and fans that are truely happy at the end of the season, and thats the SB winners. |

You guys are set to do pretty well next year to be honest. The team has youth,draft picks and cap room so if your front office does a good job of talent evaluation and development you will have good years ahead.
Of course I am hoping your front office screws up and hoses the franchise for a generation but I am biased.
Really you have had a darn good run since the early 90's so if it takes a few years to get built back up you really can't complain too much. |

You have it bad? Think about Seattle Fans...
Mariners- Worst record in baseball(bad team for about 3 years now)
Sonics- No longer in town :(
Seahawks- Mike Holmgren is leaving, and 3-11 currently
Huskies Football- 0-12 season
Cougars Football- 1-11 season
Now I'm only really a fan of the Mariners, but man think how tough its been for Seatown folk. The WNBA team is really the only Pro sport having any kind of success. We have a few great High School football teams though. Bellevue and Skyline.

Things are rough in WA. for sports fans these days.If you need a place to drown your sorrows,stop by a bar downtown by Qwest called the Hawks Nest.They have great food and a great selection of beers.Say hi to Rachel the owner for me.She's a good friend. |

Obviously the Packers.
&
My favourite Aussie Rules team did similar to what the Packers did last season.
Finished with 15 wins, 6 losses and 1 tie and then in the finals they lost the game which would have put them in Grand Final.
Wasn't too dissapointing though, was a good year considering the year before they only won 9 games.
They are the only 2 teams that I really follow passionately. |

Packers- obvious
Yankees- continue to spend millions upon millions on free agents, when that spending hasn't worked for the last 8 years. Look at the guys who produced for that team this last season. All but one were brought up through the farm system. Get the hint, Steinbrenners?
(I'm probably the most reluctant Yankees fan you'll ever meet. I pretty much hate everything about how my team is run.)
Knicks- well, pretty much every Knicks fan is going to be complacent until we get LeBron in 2010.
Hawkeyes- four losses by a COMBINED total of 12 points (give us two of those wins and we're talking about a completely different season), and being given the Outback Bowl instead of outright earning it. |
