The Toros are great for the Spurs.
I, however, Bleed Orange.
May I point out that it says BEST Local Sports Team:
In 2008, the Toros advanced to the championship.
In 2008, the Texas Longhorns football program will not play for the championship.
It doesn't ask who your favorite is...it asks who the best is!
Amazing that the Toros are (currently) a solid #2 only 25 votes behind ut football.
SpursTalk power, bay-bee !!

Try to take in a game some time while you're at it.
I think I made a fair argument. I would've thought you guys Bleed Silver and Black before Burnt Orange. See you at the Toros game tonight at 7:30 where they will be wearing SPURS Jerseys and the Silver Dancers and the Coyote will be in attendance..
I bleed both, but the Silver and Black is for the Spurs.
When the Spurs start playing in Austin, I will vote for them. Until then, I vote for UT.
The Question Was -- Best Local Sports Team Based on 2008...
Toros made it further than UT in their respective sport and league...just saying
You are displaying a valiant effort.
UT Football. Hands down.
Since both are in the same building, you can do your quirky gift buying at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar in the afternoon, then stay for a Toros game in the evening
The only thing in Austin that matters is the Longhorns. And of course any league with the kiddos in it. Austin=the land of the lost.
Does it hurt much?
Look, another dropping from Mrs Purs!
The Toros are still ahead with one day to go.
C'mon -- it's not like the UT football program needs the visibility.
voted,
but the real question, who has the best fries???
I put Phil's, though I've only been to a couple of places listed.
I dunno about Phil's, but Hyde Park's are to die for.
Last chance to vote for the Toros ... polls close tonight! You can vote every hour, so even if you've voted before, vote today!

Your A-List, Best Sports Team
By Michael Barnes | Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 02:31 PM
At a time when the University of Texas’ football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams are all ranked in the Top 5 in national polls, it’s a jolt to see the Austin Toros, the city’s NBA development league team ranked No. 1 in the A-List poll. By a lot. As in 52 percent of the vote from our readers for Best Sports Team.
Minor-league sports have not gained much big-league cultural or social traction in Central Texas, with the exception of the Round Rock Express, which came in third with 3 percent of the vote, well behind UT football, which scored second with 37 percent. Yet the Toros have earned their fleet-fingered fans, playing at the Austin Convention Center and standing second in the Southwestern Division with a 5-3 record.
Resurgent Texas State football — the Bobcats made the playoffs this year — took third, edging UT men’s basketball with just over 2 percent of the tally. UT baseball, always a winner under Augie Garrido, UT women’s basketball, back in booming business with Coach G, and UT softball all garnered 2 percent of the vote or less.
The defunct Austin Wranglers almost beat UT softball.
