I'll tell you an obvious reason why this isn't so - if all I was interested in was doing was padding title counts, I'd count all the non-major sports UCLA & USC have won (1st and 3rd in amount of NCAA Championships)

I assume that most people recognize NCAAF & NCAAB titles are different than others, right?

You're right, let's get back to discussing Los Angeles being titletown.

Not what I was saying.

If you're a fan of a team, you can celebrate wherever you live. I'm a Red Sox fan, and I'll celebrate the team's success but will never use a Red Sox WS to call my hometown in CT titletown, cause the Red Sox don't represent CT. Just like the Trojans don't represent LA, they represent USC.

Again congrats on passing Detroit for sole possession of 4th place titles count wise.

Manchester England is Titletown fool.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

This thread should be about Buffalo

[Beebz]

Any city that does not have a football team cannot be eligible for Titletown designations. Dems da rules.

[thebridge15]

This thread is now about Cleveland.

The Trojans and the Bruins do represent Los Angeles though (L.A. is even in ucla). It's different than pro's, but everything about the city - the media, the people, the government celebrate it similar to a pro championship!

No, they don't. They're in LA, but they represent the university, not the city.

Boston University sports teams don't represent Boston. They represent Boston University.

It's such a silly argument you are making, and not relevant to the titletown discussion. It's like saying the Kings championship shouldn't count because it only represents the hockey fans of L.A. who are a lot different than the NBA fans. A title in one of the 4 major pro sports / 2 major college sports is a championship, and the cities these teams play in should rightfully celebrate when a championship is one.

I guess when UNC wins their next basketball championship, it'll be silly for the Chapel Hill fans to take pride in the championship, and thinking that UNC represents their city.

It's the LA Kings. They represent LA. If you live in LA, celebrate it if you want.

What if you live in the suburbs?
What if you live in New York, are you allowed to celebrate?

See how absurd it gets. UCLA & USC represent Los Angeles, and if the city and their fans want to claim their championships as part of the history of the city, message boards arguments really don't matter.

BEAT LA BEAT LA BEAT LA

If you live in New York and are a Kings fan, by all means celebrate. But don't call NYC Titletown.

I guess all of the pre-Shaq Lakers titles don't count either, since they were technically in inglewood.

[thebridge15]

When were they referred to as the Inglewood Lakers?

[Lee3691]

Your rules are confusing

So fans of a pro team can root for a team and claim a title for their hometown even if that team plays technically in another city but is in the area (or even out of area)
but
fans of a college team can root for a team but can not claim a title for their hometown even if that team plays in their particular city

[thebridge15]

I don't know anymore.

[Lee3691]

Me either

All these titles are confusing me

Hope your NBA team gets its first title

[thebridge15]

Would Seattle be allowed to celebrate?

[Lee3691]

I think Seattle basketball fans are with the Miami fans this series

[aeroshady]

Congrats to LA, don't agree that they are Titletown, but then again I don't agree that any city can or should claim that title. At the very least, LA are on the radar as one of the best sports towns with Boston, NY and others.

As a Rangers fan I am just happy the Kings stopped another Devils cup win...don't think I could have taken the bragging here in Jersey.

[treytreyw222]

Are you talking about Tuscaloosa, Alabama?

[rickyh24]

What a train wreck. All I have learned is Hollywood fan's can't add. At least when I made this similar thread about Boston I sample sized it over the past 10 years to make it accurate.

Hooooooowwwwwlllllll!!

[Doors Allan Coe]

Does this mean the Giants Super Bowls don't count for New York because they play in Jersey?
