Memphis is a basketball town and a football/basketball recruiting hot-bed.

Memphis football is supported WHEN IT WINS...basketball will always have support here in Mempo.

just my view...

Go Tigers!!!

I would say Cleveland is a football town. They just have an awful team.

Also, I might argue Detroit is a HOCKEY TOWN, but basketball is a good guess.

Boston is tough to decide, they viciously support all three major clubs. I'd say Larry Bird is the most loved athlete is Boston, though, so I'd pick bball.

For the most part I agree, but it looks like you just picked which team is the most successful.

Memphis is a TIGER Basketball town

What about Los Angeles?

Detroit is definitely a hockey town and I disagree with several others.

Detroit is definitely a hockey town, not a basketball town. I'd also think Indianapolis would be a basketball town when you take into consideration all the amateur basketball in the state of Indiana.

Miami has got to be a football city and Chicago loves their baseball (maybe make baseball and football even there at best)

I live in Atlanta and IMO it's not a baseball town. It's more of a football town (especially when you throw in SEC football)

i would say Memphis is a college town...

NOW, Memphis fans, by far, control the city...

but you have LOTS of Tennessee and Mississippi fans.

actually, Memphis is the largest concentration of Mississippi alums...

you also see a TON of "I was raised a UT/Miss/Miss State fan but support Memphis when we're not playing"

the one i HATE are the "WOOOO i'm the biggest Vol/Rebel/Bull Dog fan EVER"

you ask em "when did you graduate?"

they say "oh, i didn't go to school there."

you ask em "when were you last on campus?"

they say "oh, i've never been"

then they say "oh, but my daddy was a big fan but i went to Memphis"

don't like those folks much.

Go Tigers!!!

Miami is definately not basketball town. A football town definately.

Hoops. Football for the $EC carpetbaggers who can't find employment in their school's city. After all, there is only one Walmart in Oxford.

I don't know what the town is. All I know is I'm a University Of Memphis Tiger fan in all sports....But I'll admit, football is my favorite sport.

Detroit is for sure a hockey town. Chicago is a baseball town. Miami is a football town.

Atlanta is ALWAYS Braves!!! (over 2MM attendance per year, every year for many, many years).

We tend to drop off the Falcons if they are not winning, or we have to deal with Michael Vick.

Hawks are so-so & the Thrashers (NHL) not much.

Yes.

And in terms of the emotional measure of the town, there is nothing close.

If Tiger football had a national title contending season it would be way up there.

Anyone that hints that this town is anything else is fooling themselves. Some utk coverage, some missippi coverage, some grizzle nonsense and there are a lot of football fans here...

But...

The Memphis Tiger basketball program is the king.

I don't see Memphis on the list... why post this on a Memphis board?

Go post it on a Houston board.
