My top 3, are: Minnesota, Minnesota, and Minnesota.
But, I live in the Twin Cities area, so that influences it greatly.

What Big 10 team do you root the most against?
- Thread starter gryzz14
- Start date
Nebraska and Maryland: Nebraska because their fans are some of the most obnoxious fans on the planet, I was at the Iowa-Nebraska game this year I thought I was gonna tear the head off of some Nebby fans sitting a few seats behind me. Maryland because their coach is a crybaby and their fans are obnoxious as well, Edsall was crying that Iowa cheap shot one of his players when the play was completely legal.
Again, the correct answer is Ohio State. Root against them as much as you can and if you're not doing that then you're not trying hard enough. There isn't any avenue where you should want to see Ohio State succeed.
Root for Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Michigan, Northwestern, all those other teams that are our rivals, to beat Ohio State even if they don't. The worse Ohio State, the better off the rest of the conference will be. We live in a day and age where monopolies cannot be tolerated. Therefore.............f*** Ohio State and their football program.
Just sayin.

Nebraska, AINEC.
But then I grew up in SW Iowa. And I still don't really think of them as a B1G school yet.
Of the "Old Guard," there's the usual suspects (Minnesota, O$U, Michigan, etc.), but I'm gonna go with jNW. It was kinda cool to see them have some success, being the perennial doormat, but it's gotten real old for me. I'm ready for them to be awful at everything meaningful again.

1) Nebraska - Grew up in SWI and their arrogance / ignorance fills every crevice of that state spills over into ours. Osborne was a scumbag that would make Urban Meyer seem like a saint.
2) OSU- They are morally an SEC team in the B1G.
3) Wisconsin- Respect them but I still don't like them
4) Illinois- Cheaters on level with OSU but still cant win.
I personally think the Neb hate will build up over the decade but a lot of it depends on where you grew up / live.

It has always been Minnesota for me when thinking about biggest rival. But I dont necessarily root against them. I would say I root against Nebraska the most and that rivalry is heating up for me personally.
This is mine as well. Any fan base whose favorite chant is "Who hates Iowa" moves them to the top of my list.
You have outed yourself nebby troll. That loss still drives you crazy doesn't it? No Iowa fan would feel the need to make excuses for an Iowa win. Should have beat you last year too. Too bad we crapped the bed in the 2nd half.
Only uncultered, hollow, imbeciles would root AGAINST anything. One of the biggest wastes of time, energy and emotion.
I root against the clowns and Notre Dame. Really don't root against any B!G teams unless they are playing the Hawks.
Every fan base is delusional in their own way. Nebraska fans want to win a national championship, and Iowa wants to win 9 games even though they are recruiting MAC players. Both are probably unrealistic, but sports sure are fun.
What the hell is a Hero Game?
And why are all the plaques on it empty?
Just another block of wood with a metal football replica, I guess.

The Ohio State University.
We've only beaten them once in the last 15+ years. Oh, and always Minnesota.

It's a sign of insecurity and lack of self esteem when your happiness is dependent upon the misery of others.
there are a few exceptions in the sports sense when I think it is appropriate to root against a team. If it affects your team's standing. So if your team is in second place it is appropriate to root against the team in first. Against your rival as long as it is done in fun and not some fictional moral bias that permeates message boards and radio call in shows.
That is an excellent point, but you still don't have to root against anyone. Just root FOR whatever team is playing the team in first!
