Outside of the Hawks I don’t even know enough about other programs to not like them. Kentucky (NBA farm team) and ISU are probably at the top. For me, gone are the days of knowing all the starters for other Big 10 teams. I don’t even know who starts for the Clowns.I was reading some posts on here and thought everyone seems to be agitated by a few teams. So I ask, which 3 teams do you dislike the most and why?
Mine:
1. Kentucky- hate the 1 and dones, feel slimy being in the SEC and the have Coach Cal which means I know they are cheating.
2- Iowa St.- I believe in 2nd chances but for a good stretch it seemed like a guy had to be kicked out of a program to play for ISU. Then they beat us with said talent. Rivalry game.
3- Arizona- how in the world do they continue to get out if their sanctions? They were caught cheating and nothing serious has happened. They are always on TV because they are a blue blood but they haven't been elite in awhile.
HM- Duke, Kansas, Illinois, and Florida.
1. Colgate
2. Dartmouth
3. Harvard
1A ISU
1B nebby
2 Wiscy
3 Notre Dame.
3B wherever Saban coaches.
Yeah, I would like to see Smurf Izzo retire soon.WestConsin, tops the list of everything I hate nobody is even close... if Football, you can add Nebraska right in there! I don’t even like red and white and Adidas anymore because of them.. so throw Indiana basketball in there too although they’ve been less irritating in my adulthood. But growing up in the 90’s couldn’t stand them or their coach Bob.
I would be remiss if I was to act like I can stand watching Tom Izzo’s face and actions on the side lines while Iowa is playing MSU as well.. to many times I’ve seen his players have to restrain him from going after his own players and refs.. so yeah add MSU in there too..
“Stanford”
lol
wut
Those pricks at Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon and Swarthmore really grind my gears.
I’m proud to see that my team didn’t make any of your lists! We usually have some pretty competitive battles in Athletics although I hope we can start playing you guys a little more competitively in football.
B1G Teams
1. ILL
2. MSU
3. WI
4. Maryland rising fast with bullet!
Blue Blood
1. Duke
2. KY
3. KS
Just Because
1. Any team Alfraud is coaching at the time
2. Any team Lickliter is coaching at the time
3. Any team known cheaters coach
I hate cheaters first. Then I hate teams that have turned the Big Ten into football on a court.
- MSU meets both criteria (accusations have come out in the Nike trial against them)
- Wisconsin meets the 2nd one (and if you go back to the free shoes 20 years ago, the first too)
- NC meets the first one and got away with it completely because the school effectively said that their academics don’t matter. That to me is the most egregious display against the NCAA since the SMU death penalty. I don’t know how the university wasn’t permanently discredited after that. Such blatant disregard for academic integrity.
So I’d say that is my top three.
Otherwise, throw in Arizona as a known cheater, Kansas as an accused one, Louisville is a known cheater and their former cheating coach is now at Kentucky, so throw them in too. And finally, Duke because they are annoying as hell and you just know stuff is going on under the table there too. There’s probably a few others that should be on the list, but whatever.
It has been over 20 years since Minny’s and Illinois’s cheating scandals, so I’m willing to move on. I hate the Minny fan base more than the team itself. And ISU is annoying because they beat us with some regularity, but they seem to be following the rules when they do that. So they get a pass too, but once again the fan base is more annoying than the team.
there’s been no accusations against MSU wtf are you talking about? Izzo is notorious for being clean. Which is why he doesnt recruit at an elite level despite being an elite program.
In fact someone testified saying MSU would never play ball.

Iowa State- their fans have the most over inflated view of the athletic dept than any fans out there.
Why Maryland? I actually liked their addition to our conference for basketball, lacrosse, and soccer.

B1G Basketball
1. Rutgers - bunch of thugs ballin up
2. Illinois - Thugs 2.0
3. Penn St. - Because they always over achieve against us
Non-B1G
1. Iowa St. - Because they suck
2. Gonzaga - Play in a real conference
3. KU - Because Bill Self is scum
Gonzaga; for always being a top 1-2 seed, despite playing in arguably one of the worst conferences in D1 (SOCON is deeper & more competitive). The BYU team they lost to last night is pretty meh.
1. Colgate
2. Dartmouth
3. Harvard
Don’t forget those Lehigh a-holes.
Nobody told me this was a wrestling hate thread. In that case, what about those Cornell, Lock Haven and Cal-Bakersfield m-fers?
