Favorite Sports Month of the Year

[CubColtPacer]

Here is your chance-tell which month it is and why you are drawn to it.

Golf majors but no tennis? Tsk tsk. :D

 

I picked March because of March Madness.

After bouncing between a few months, I finally settled on September.

 

Baseball stretch run (especially the once a blue moon the Cubs are in it), NFL and college football starting is just a great period of time. January and March are probably second and third on my list.

I picked March because of March Madness.

 

The problem is, there's just not much else in March. The Madness is great, but the next best thing is Spring Training (which is trumped by the stretch run) - sorry NBA and NHL fans. :)

Oops-that's probably not the only thing I missed.

 

I'm going to have to pick March-there's simply too much good basketball between the conference tournaments and March Madness. October, February, and January are probably my next 3.

[Flames24Rulz]

I'll also go with March. It's hard to top March Madness. October, May, and January (especially the first week of January) are my next 3.

March Madness is my favorite yearly event to watch by far so that trumps it. Although every four years, June is my favorite month.

Yeah, March Madness is the only reason I put March over April on my list. It basically comes down to March Madness over the NFL draft for me. And March Madness beats out the draft by a longshot.

I went with September because any month were pro baseball and football overlap or are the major focus is good with me. I also enjoy those times when other major sporting events, namely golf, horse racing, Indy/F1 and CWS (particularly when LSU or Baylor are involved) are on the horizon. I see, no love in the poll for the CWS :cry: . Beyond that, no particular month stands out, unless you include the Olympics or World Cup.

October, far and away. I'm addicted to the baseball playoffs every year, plus the two footballs equals an easy choice. March, April and September are good ones too.

The start of college football always gets me wet in the britches

[Ding Dong Johnson]

march -- the weather's turning, college basketball's finally winding down, and foolish optimism has me looking forward to the cubs

[NCCubFan]

March, because of March Madness and the optimism of Spring Training has not yet given way to the realities of the regular season.

[Prior4CyYoung]

went with March it has march madness which I always look forward to more so then anything.

[Tracer Bullet]

Went with September. But there's something about July, when the only major sport being played is baseball, that always makes me happy.

[Derwood]

September. My anger over another failed Cubs team is relieved by the start of Penn State/Bears football

[CubmanPi]

I picked April because of the fact that it's the only month of the year (not counting the off-season) that we get to be optimistic about the Cubs. The start of a new baseball season is always exciting to me for some reason.

 

Plus, I lived in Augusta for 5.5 years and was there for 6 Masters tournaments, and even though the town turned into a gigantic freaking zoo the entire week, it was a unique environment that was really cool to be around.

 

I also think the month stretching from 15 Sep 03 to 15 Oct 03 should get its own category.

October, for baseball

I would love to go to the Masters one year. While I'm not a huge golf fan, I do enjoy watching it some, but the Masters is something you have to experience at some point.

November.

 

FA Cup First Round day conquers all.

[killthegoat06]

January. NFL Playoffs are the best.

[killthegoat06]

March comes in close 2nd.

[Outshined_One]

I said January.

 

I absolutely love the NFL playoffs. Even when it's a matchup of two teams I detest (see: Green Bay/Minnesota), I'll watch it and have a blast doing so. There's something about professional football that is so intense and exciting. What's more, I love watching football played in crazy conditions such as driving snowstorms. My all-time favorite games include The Snow Game and The Fog Bowl thanks in large part to the weather conditions.

 

Moreover, the BCS Bowls are always a blast. There always seems to be one especially memorable and enjoyable game every year (OU vs. Boise State this year, Southern Cal vs. Texas last year). Moreover, the bowls have all of the perks that come along with college football, such as crazed fanbases, bands upstaging one another, and watching potential draft picks either cause their stock to skyrocket (Jamarcus Russell) or plummet (Troy Smith) through their performances.

 

In terms of other months...

 

March is my hands down #2. College basketball during the regular season doesn't catch my interest nearly as much as during NFL and MLB regular seasons, but there's something so inherently enjoyable and exciting about watching the NCAA Tournament, even if the matchup is something like Weber State versus Southern Illinois. Spring Training also keeps me entertained, as does the NBA, since the playoffs are starting to take shape and certain teams begin to make a run.

 

April's enjoyable thanks to the start of the baseball season and the NFL Draft. Plus, the Masters is the only golfing event I'm ever interested in. Can't explain why, though.

 

September is interesting with the start of the football seasons and the stretch run in MLB.

 

October pisses me off due to the MLB playoff's horrible quality of sports commentating (Joe Buck and Tim McCarver? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!) and the fact that teams and fabases I hate always seem to be in it (Cardinals, Astros, Yankees, White Sox, etc.) while the Cubs...well, yeah.

[Careless]

September: football, maybe baseball, and the start of the best weather of the year

Followed by october and january.

[Drew Doughty]

April by far. the nhl playoffs are pretty much my favorite time of the year.
