Prioritize Your Hate List

[cincibuck]

Nonsense.

I suppose now you are going to tell us those NC's in the mid 90's were nice but the success wasn't the same because Oklahoma sucked at that time?

As Nebraska and OSU have both proven, if your school is legitimately big time you don't need your chief rival to be good to have great national success. If you don't need them to be good, why wish them to be good? Other "big game" opponents will arise, the hated rivals fans will find new levels of suffering and your team gets to add to it every year. That is just pure win to me.

Pretend for a second that you're a sports writer/fan in Chicago/New York/Philly/Boston/Baltimore and you're asked to list the biggest rivalry games in college football -- being from those areas you begin with Notre Dame - USC and then to Notre Dame and whoever they're playing, then where do you go?

You go to Ohio State and Michigan - you go there because unlike Purdue - Indiana, Texas - Texas A&M, Alabama - Auburn, USC - UCLA, Cal - Stanford, it matters. You go there because unlike Texas - Texas A&M, or Alabama - Auburn, it's an amazingly even series, because BOTH schools have impressive histories - not just once every four years - because so much rests on the outcome.

Name another rivalry where so many awards, bids, championships ride on the outcome -- that's why you count down to Michigan week, that's why you laugh when they stumble bum to Appy State, just as the folks in Ann Arbor were hoping Navy or Marshall could pull the upset in the 'shoe.

1) Michigan
2) Wisconsin
3) Penn State
4) Miami (FL)
5) USC
6) LSU
7) Florida State
8) Illinois
9) Cincinnati
10) Notre Dame/Boise State/Oregon - their fans all think they're more important than they actually are. Can't choose one.

Some people on this thread have gotten really soft

#1 is Michigan..period..no one else is close.

I want Michigan to fail and fail hard...Appalachian State=Epic, Toledo=Glorious. I don't want to see them win another game in the series for the rest of my lifetime. Fuck that whole "most competitive rivalry in sports" nonsense. I don't want to lose to Michigan just so some dork sports analyst can talk up how great the rivalry is. I want them to be like "Yeah this was once the closest rivalry in sports and then Ohio State beat those dick wads year after year until they finally decided to just quit football because it was too hard to take." I want to sit and watch the game with my grandchildren and if Jim Tressel's name comes up I want them to curiously ask me how he was able to keep his job for as long as he did with such a poor record against that shithole up north

Your whole premise rests on caring what outsiders think of The Game. It also requires these outsiders tacit approval for our rivalry to be "great" in order to enjoy it more. Therefore by your way of thinking, when one team is down our game is diminished and your enjoyment is lessened.

My approach makes every Game just as important because my hate for tsun doesn't rest on the whim of outsiders opinions. It is constant, it doesn't waver, it doesn't care if both teams are #1 and #2 or if they are both unranked and its been reduced to a regional game.

I want to see scUM teams beaten, I want to see their fans humiliated and in pain. You want people like Herbstriet, Mark May and Craig James to say its the best rivalry in college football.

Two different objectives lead to two different ideas of what The Game is all about.

I was at the Ohio State/Youngstown St game when Michigan lost to Appalachian State.

The OSUMB played Fail to the Victors on the concourse. It was a beautiful thing. I have it ranked right up there with my children being born, my second marriage, and my first divorce.

[SmoovP]

LOL - I figured you'd say that, SmoovP. You'll have to enlighten us on their fans. Most of my interactions with their fans have been positive, pretty classy. The folks that run their organization remind me of a bunch of slick oil salesmen that kiss babies, but take their milk with the other hand.

I just know how utterly obnoxious Kitty fans are.

It's their sense of entitlement.

They honestly believe deep down in their blackened, shrunken little hearts that they are superior to everyone, and cannot fathom how everyone can't see that.

They are polite and respectful to your face, will say all the right things and do their best make you believe that, 'aw shucks, we're just regular folks and we're all in this together'.

Hell, Alabama fans are obnoxious assholes, but at least they are up front about it.

But when it comes right down to it, like you noted, they (Texas) are entirely without scruples or a moral center of any kind.

Watching them implode last year was a joyful thing.

Deep down, every single self-respecting Arkansas fan above the age of 30 hates them in exactly the same what that Ohio State hates SCUM - and for many of the same reasons - although it's not as... on the surface as it once was.

Honestly, I wish they would succeed from the Union, get annexed by Mexico and switch to playing soccer.

And then DIAF.

It was a great day indeed. I sat in the south stands right next to the band, stood face-to-face With Coach Tressel and the team to sing Carmen Ohio, then watched from the concourse as the skunkbears finished pinching off that steaming turd of a performance. I'll never forget it.

 

[alexhortdog95]

Oh yeah.

Either there or in a desert.

Funny story, they owed me over 2 months leave when I was getting out and instead of taking the money I took the time and spent almost a full 3 months in Hawaii, came back and out processed. Only thing I ever got over on the Army.

LOL - btw...I wrote my comments from before...and when I got home and was looking on the news I saw this:

My hopes and dreams were almost revealed. Then I had to snap myself back to reality.

Let me put it to you this way about K-State 'fans'. In 98, when we 'lost' to them after Eric Crouch got his head unscrewed (with no call):

Those bastards were all up and down 77, with signs saying how they 'whipped our asses,' and 'go home fuskers' and all kinds of shiat like that.

That should tell how how classless those motherf***ers are.

 

[Gatorubet]

I ought to ding your ass for posting that whiny ass video.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!! If that play "cost you the game in the final minute", you should have been playing better the first 59.

I didn't make the vid - I just found it to illustrate the fact that those bastages hung their hats on a 'tainted' win. Think A&M from last year. Nobody in the country that watched that game thought the officiating was.....servicable. We lost, we should have played better. But this was a BS call and they only won by a couple of points. Is there a conspiracy against Nebraska? Nope. Should have dominated that game.

Anyways, I KNOW you ain't talkin bout cryin....somebody get this mofo some TISSUE!!!

If someone is stupid enough to start with Notre Dame V. Anyfuckingbody...why do I give a fuck what the next game out of their cockholster is?

I'm not some supposedly unbiased sports writer. I'm an OSU fan. And I want UM to lose every single time they take the field.

That has got to be the biggest whiner video I've ever seen. And the misspellings are a nice touch. Bravo, Nebraska.
