Nor Cal vs. So Cal

We all know of the never ending rivalry between Nor Cal and So Cal

[REDWOODS vs. PALM TREES, THE BAY vs. THE BEACHES, MAC DRE vs. SNOOP DOGG, FOG vs. SMOG, BIRKENSTOCKS vs. FLIP FLOPS, JOURNEY vs. THE EAGLES, HELLA vs. GNARLY, etc. etc...]

Throw in the sports rivalries between the two sides and you've got yourself a full on cat fight. Let's look at the number of championships for each side to decide the winner...

-Baseball-

So Cal: 
San Diego Padres (0 championships)
 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (1 championship)
Los Angeles Dodgers (5 championships)

Nor Cal: 
San Francisco Giants (1 championship)
 Oakland Athletics (4 championships)

-Football-

So Cal:
 San Diego Chargers (0 championships)

Nor Cal: 
San Francisco 49ers (5 championships)
Oakland Raiders (3 championships)

-Basketball-

So Cal:
Los Angeles Lakers (11 championships)
Los Angeles Clippers (0 championships)

Nor Cal:
Golden State Warriors (1 championship)
Sacramento Kings (0 championships)

-Hockey-
So Cal:
Anaheim Ducks (1 championship)
Los Angeles Kings (0 championships)

Nor Cal:
San Jose Sharks (0 championships)

*Note that So Cal has one more team playing for them than Nor Cal

So Cal - 18
Nor Cal - 14

Looks like So Cal comes out on top with the amount of Championships, with a big thanks to the Lakers. But if Nor Cal had one more team, would they pass So Cal up? 

Now before fists start swinging and the hair pulling begins, let's settle things. I'd say So Cal takes the cake on the court & ice, while Nor Cal clearly takes it with a football. When it comes to baseball, it's pretty much a tie, so let's call it even. 

I'm a So Cal native and a Nor Cal transplant, so I get the draw of each side. I'd take a burrito from So Cal over a Nor Cal one any day. But I'd take a Fall in Nor Cal over any So Cal season. I think we can all shake hands and come to the conclusion that living anywhere in CA is pretty damn nice. So the next time you're breaking up a bar brawl over this matter, remind the boys how both sides have their Championship Rings. (Yes, male athletes receive JEWELRY of all things when they win a championship). 
Nor Cal + So Cal = BFF!
