Actually, I agree. Nobody really liked Moggi, even if he worked for us. He was slimy, arrogant and generally evil-looking. Not the best spokesperson for the team.Maybe, but very deserving scapegoats. That little humbling will be good for Juventus.
How many years since your team won it's last major championship?
- Thread starter PlainSimpleJoel
- Start date
Rutgers is considered to have won a national championship in college football in 1869, the year they defeated Princeton in the first game ever played. It's ridiculous, but we'll take it. 
My Cardinals haven't won an NFL championship since 1947, when they, led by Charlie Trippi, defeated the Eagles 28-21.

I'm a Maple Leafs fan. That says it all.
Seconded.
Thirded.
I'm also a Blue Jays fan (duh), for which our last title was 1993—immortalized by Tom Cheek in my signature. Doesn't look like we'll be winning another any time soon, though.
55 years and a whole another city since the Giants have won the World Series. Only thing worse is being a Cubs or an Indians fan.
North Melbourne won it's 4th AFL Premiership in 1999.
Liverpool have not been English Champions since 1989/1990.
Melbourne Storm Hopefully will walk away with it's third NRL Premiership this year.
Melbourne Victory are the Current A-League Champions.

The Denver Broncos haven't won the Super Bowl (or even been back) since the 1998 season. The LCCC volleyball team has never won anything, though hopefully that'll change this year...
The last time the Braves or Cowboys won it all was back in 1995.
Auburn hasn't won a national championship since 1957, but did go undefeated in 2004, only to get screwed over in the BCS.

Mets- 9 years since they won the National League title, 23 since they won the World Series.
Rockies- 2 years since they won the NL title.
Nats- don't make me laugh.
(I'm not counting their former life as the Montreal Expos.)
Been a while since the Broncos won the Super Bowl. Was the last one 2000?
It's been seven years since Colorado State won the conference title in football. They went to a bowl game and won it last year, though.

^You consider 9 years between Super Bowls awhile?

The Nationals have never had a winning season, let alone earned a wild card berth.
Never.
In 40 years of existence, my beloved Phoenix Suns have never won the NBA Finals. The last time they came close was in 1993, when they lost to the Chicago Bulls in 6 games.
My 2nd favorite team, the Arizona State Sun Devils have never won a national football title as far as I know. They came very close in the 1996-97 season. If we'd been able to hold out just 2 minutes longer against Ohio St. in the Rose Bowl, we probably would have gotten the national title. (No team went undefeated that year. Like I said, ASU lost the Rose Bowl to Ohio St. but would have been undefeated had we won it. The other undefeated team in the regular season, the Florida State Seminoles, lost the Sugar Bowl(?) to the Florida Gators.)
The closest championship I can call my own is when the Arizona Diamondbacks won the 2001 World Series against the New York Yankees. (And screwing over the Yankees is always fun!)

Whoops. For some reason I thought they did well their second season. Excuse me. Wishful thinking.

^ The Expos were way out in front in 1994. They had the best record in baseball at the time - 74-40 - and were considered major World Series contenders. They would have at least made the playoffs if not for the strike.
So since the Nats *are*, in a very real sense, the Expos, I think that counts, KM.

Not to mention coming within 1 game of winning the NLCS and making the World Series in 1981, oddly enough, another strike shortened season. In the fifth and final game (only played best-of-5s then), the Expos were completely dominated by Fernando Valenzuela (as was the rest of the league in Valenzuela's Cy Young and Rookie of the Year season) and took a 1-1 tie into the 9th inning before a home run by Rick Monday sent the Dodgers into the World Series, which they won.

*sigh* I guess so.
But remember how rotten the Mets were in their early years...then they went on to win the World Series in '69. Who knows, maybe the Nats will have a similar turnaround?
We shall know this time in eight days with the Storm being the second team through to the Grand Final. May the best team win.
I think the last time a Bay Area team won a championship was the Niners in Super Bowl XXIX. Unless you count stuff like Arena Football in which case the Sabercats have won a few championships in the last few years. Pity they are no more, unless this new Arena league takes off.
