Living in Seattle since 1998, the only local team I support is the Mariners.
I'm a Portland native, my NBA team is my Trail Blazers. Between the M's and the Rip City 5, this has been a painful existence (except for the 1977 Bill Walton led NBA Championship)
I grew up rooting for the 49ers in the early '70's when the likes of John Brodie & Gene Washington would lose in heartbreaking fashion to the Roger Staubach/Bob Lilly/Duane Thomas Cowboys in the playoffs. I've been with 'em ever since, although it was hard not to get excited about the Seahawks season. I would've rooted for the Hawks against anybody but the 49ers.
I've always been a Canucks fan ever since they joined the NHL (They were in the WHL along with the Portland Buckaroos when I was a kid, the were so dominant that they just put them in the NHL as-is in 1970). I will always be a Canucks fan until or unless either Portland or Seattle gets an NHL team.
College, all I gotta say is......
