Not really sure why we dislike certain teams -- do we root against uniform, players or both? Probably both. While every college football fan hates their rival, most fans can come together for some community hate.
The top five teams that we all can root against every Saturday:
5. Ohio State
Whether it's Jim Tressel's ridiculous sweater vest, Brutus Buckeye's nonsense or Ohio State just giving us lousy championship games far too often, the Buckeyes are worth rooting against just so we don't have to see them an SEC team after the new year.
4. Alabama
Between Nick Saban being an asshole and a Golden Retriever being able to successfully play QB for the Tide, there's nothing likable about this team. Except the numbers on the helmet. That's pretty cool.
3. Florida
Urban Meyer + Tim Tebow + two National Championships in three years (and maybe more) = a lot of hostility from everyone else.
2. USC
It's always been a running joke that LA still has a professional football team and they wear red and gold. We've actually sorta liked a lot of the players that have come through SC and we don't really have any problems with Pete Carroll. Yet when you win seven straight Pac-10 titles, go to seven BCS bowl games in a row and finish in the top five seven straight years, you're going to have a very big X on your back. And what's up with Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg? Go make Old School 2 already and stay away from the football field.
1. Notre Dame
We really think our biggest problem with the Irish is that the BCS will do anything to get them into a major bowl game. They could be 10-2, with wins over the regular of Michigan State, Stanford, Navy, etc. and go to a premiere game when you leave the likes of Boise State, TCU and Utah out.
And when Brady Quinn is succeeded by Jimmy Clausen, you really just wanna sock Charlie Weis in the gut for recruiting such pompous pricks.
What teams do you root against? Share your hate in the comments...
Ohio State should be #1. Ohio State should definitely be #1.
ReplyDeleteI'd say USC #1. Rooting against Notre Dame is like rooting against the Knicks in basketball because you hated how dominant they were in the 1970s. It seems like a really outdated thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSC though? Hey, what ever happened to the Reggie Bush case? I mean, an agent basically admitted that he gave improper payments -- any action NCAA?? Anything?? Nope, didn't think so.
And how is USC STILL a top 10 BCS team!?!? They suffered both an embarassing upset loss and Oregon beat them by like 1,000, but when Iowa loses by 7 on the road without their QB they drop WAY below USC!?!?!
HM that's a good point about notre dame, but on the other hand, the media still slobs their knob like they're a perennial power, so it makes them easy to hate. Plus, fatso Weis is so annoying.
ReplyDeleteIowa lost at home, crazy person.
ReplyDeleteUSC is despised because it tries to represent itself as more than a sports (in this case, football) college. It's a second tier academic institution in California, but don't ever tell anyone who went there that. Plus, OJ played at SC...Bush was paid to play, and they always squirt the rules .... enough said.
ReplyDeleteSo if lousy bowl games is the criteria for Ohio State, why isn't Oklahoma on this list?
ReplyDeleteAs far as the on-the-field product goes, the Sooners are far worse offenders of all the reasons people blast the Buckeyes for.
ND absolutely number 1, then Michigan, Nebraska. I realize these aren't exactly the most relevant, but the hate goes back a while for me.
ReplyDeleteThe Sooners would like to remind you that they have lost 4 games by a total of 12 points, and would like you to consider including them on your ballot.
ReplyDeleteI've been to games and met fans from all of the schools on the list, and without a doubt the biggest douches are Ohio State fans. Ohio State is a clear #1.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Weis didn't recruit Brady Quinn. Try doing your homework before you publish.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake -- Iowa lost at home, by 7, to a winning team. I see now how that is far worse than USC getting destroyed by 20+ and also losing to a 3-6 team.
ReplyDeleteOregon.
ReplyDeleteNike run propaganda machine.
I really don't understand the OSU hate...
ReplyDelete"Whether it's Jim Tressel's ridiculous sweater vest, "
Um, ok. You hate Ohio St. because their coach dresses like a high school gym teacher? Uh, I guess I have no argument against that.
"...Brutus Buckeye's nonsense..."
Every school has a stupid mascot. Do you hate Miami because that stupid bird pulls its beak apart?
"...or Ohio State just giving us lousy championship games far too often..."
I guess "once" constitutes "far too often." Shouldn't Oklahoma ('04) be on this list by that definition? And Nebraska ('01)?
Your list is okay... but you left off Michigan and Miami. I would remove OSU and USC essentially because OSU and USC are cool. The other five teams have no redeeming qualities. (okay maybe Miami is cool... but just too cool).
ReplyDeletethese football teams are very good, despite being handled in a non-professional category, the level is pretty good
ReplyDeleteOkay OSU should not even come close to the top 50. I'm from Ohio and I say Michigan should be in OSU's place. Also I am not some dumb f**k, who interbreeds and Jim Tressel's sweater vest, seriously your going to complain about what he wears. I think you OSU haters should not base your opinion of a whole group of people on one or a small group of people's actions.
ReplyDeleteI dont understand how people can hate a school that they have no part of. I am a big Ohio State fan and i could care less what you think of my school. Take your SEC warm climate i cant travel farther north than Nebraska ass some place else. SEC cant win any place but in the south. So stop hating on all the Ohio State fans and take it how it is. We are just better.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Michigan and Michigan Wolverines should be number one. I hate the wolverines and the spartans. ive been a die hard osu fan my whole life and for the sec. they play no body teams. put them up against a big ten school and see how fst they get destroyed.
