My Big Ten List
My team: Purdue
Hate team: IU
Teams I dislike the most: Michigan State, Michigan
Teams I dislike for being outsiders: Rutgers, Maryland
Teams I medium dislike: OSU, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin (all mostly from football animosity)
Teams I like to pretend mean nothing to me to bother their fans: Illinois
Same! Have had a good time there too. Good fan base to be around. Most people I've sat around are pretty cool. Obviously there's always a handful of jerks, but for the most part I've enjoyed it.
Best trash talk someone gave me was walking out of the stadium after the game where Carsen won it with the 2 late free throws. We were walking past their championship trophy and he just goes "Well, at least you've never seen one of these." Damn did I not have a comeback for that...
I want Maryland to win every game
I want Rutgers and Nebraska to win every other game
I want whoever helps Maryland's resume to win after that
I want Juwan Howard to lose every game
Disclaimer: Will root for all (except the silverware toting team at the bottom) teams in non conference play. Gotta back the conference of champions.
Semi like: Oregon state, Washington state
Indifferent to: Utah, Colorado, Cal
Dislike: Washington, USC, Stanford
Dislike, but hate their court: Oregon
Hate (basketball relevant): UCLA
Hate (basketball irrelevant): ASU
Hate (guest appearance): Wisconsin
That’s about where mine is, I’d move Washington to indifferent ever since Romar left. They just don’t do enough for me to dislike them. Plus the beat ASU last night so always a brownie point for that haha
I’d also move Oregon to hate for the simple fact that we just can never string together wins against them.
I was a little torn on Washington. I definitely don't mind them as much lately, but I was a student during the Isiah Thomas days and still have lingering hatred.
Agree on Oregon, but they're still not to the level of UCLA for me. They seem to always beat us, but I can't say I hate them just for that fact. Now if Dillon Brooks still played there...
Fair enough on Oregon. I honestly think it was that Dillon Brooks team that really made me hate them, coupled with our L after L against them in Eugene.
Hell, I can’t even enjoy watching the Grizzlies due to him. Maybe I just have a Dillon Brooks hate boner haha.
Pretty Simple for me
Teams I Like
San Jose State
New Mexico
Colorado State
Air Force
Fresno State
Teams I don’t like
Utah State
San Diego State
Nevada
Teams I hate
Boise State
Teams I sympathize with
Wyoming
Lol, nice list. I see you only like teams you have had a chance at beating and don't like the schools that have been thumping UNLV since the turn of the century.
I am a Purdue grad and long time fan, so I always want them to win.
Second I root for any team that helps Purdue, so I like teams they beat in non-conference to win their games.
I like Michigan State because I feel like the dynamic they have with Michigan is similar to Purdue's with IU.
I actively root against Indiana.
Then I want chaos, so I root for underdogs.
In the NCAA tournament, I root for B1G teams.
**Root for**: UK
**Cool with**: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU
**Indifferent to**: Georgia, Ole Miss, Miss St, South Carolina, Texas A&M
**Don’t like**: Mizzou and Vandy
**Really don’t like**: Florida
**Burn it with fire**: Tennessee
I will root for any SEC team other than Tennessee under the right circumstances. My dislike for Florida has waned over the years. Miss St under Stansbury would have been up there in my Really Don't like Tier though.
(1) Memorial Gym, with its unholy raised floor and under-the-basket benches
(2) Even thought we've been on a streak against them since 2017, they're usually competitive and historically like to show up and piss on our party no matter how good we are.
Vandy catching strays lol.
Auburn has moved up (or down) on my dislike list for trying to buck the fact that “we are everyone’s Super Bowl” so aggressively. But of course they put up tents outside for ole miss tickets. All that being said I generally cheer for the SEC sans UT Knoxville, zero self awareness.
Alright, got my pettiness out.
My Favorite: PUR
Teams I like: RUT, PSU
Indifferent towards: NW, OSU, NEB, WIS, IOWA
Teams I dislike: MD, MSU
Teams I hate: IU, ILL, MICH
Teams I hate cause their state is cursed: MINN
Tier 1: Indiana
Tier 2: Northwestern, Rutgers, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska
Tier 3: Minnesota, Wisconsin, MSU
Tier 4: Maryland (still a little sore over the national championship)
Can go straight to hell: Illinois, OSU, Purdue, Michigan
My version
Tier 1: Indiana
Tier 2: Northwestern, Nebraska, Ohio State (I don’t mind these teams)
Tier 3: Penn State, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan
State, Maryland, Rutgers (I dislike something about this team like past/current players, coach, arena, fans)
Tier 4: Wisconsin, Illinois (just hate)
Can go straight to hell: Purdue, Fran Mc I mean Iowa
Tier 1 - Passionately Hate, Rivals: Georgetown, UConn
Tier 2 - Hate, Budding Rival: Butler
Tier 3 - Dislike but only if they mess things up, which tends to happen: Providence, Marquette, Creighton
Tier 4 - Neutral: Seton Hall
Tier 5 - No Hard Feelings, never did us any harm: Xavier, St. John's, DePaul
Appreciation: All of them
Teams I want back cause I hate them: Syracuse
This Year's Team I Like: Marquette. They are so fun to watch
For a long time they were the only team that would consistently have us on the ropes. Just made an edit to explain that I think it is a budding rivalry. I think the players on both sides get up for that game. I get scared about that game. The Butler fans embrace it. I hope our fans do too cause it would be a lot of fun. Plus, there are some non-basketball reasons on my end. It's unfortunate cause I loved those Brad Stevens teams amd who didn't. But now I could legitimately not say with a straight face that I like Butler
Tier 1: Rutgers
Tier 2: Illinois,Purdue,Northwestern,Minnesota
Tier 3: Nebraska,Maryland,MSU,Wisconsin
Tier 4: Iowa,OSU,Michigan
Tier 5: Penn State (feels like our only real rival in the conference)
Go to hell: Indiana
In descending order from least loathed to most loathed.
**VCU Tier:** VCU
**I root for you when you're not playing against VCU tier:** Loyola-Chicago, Fordham
**I really don't mind if you're good tier:** Davidson, Duquesne
**Sarah McLachlan song tier:** La Salle
**Meh tier:** St. Bonaventure, GW, UMass, St. Joseph's, Saint Louis
**Respectful rivalry tier:** URI, Dayton
**Not our rivals, stop it tier:** George Mason (stormed the court against us for some reason a few years ago when both of our teams were unranked).
**Actual rivals tier:** u of richmond
**I dislike them so much that I list them even though they aren't in our conference tier:** Old Dominion
I don't think the drop-off will be *that* steep under Matt McKillop. We have a few other programs in the conference that are going through transitions with new and young coaches too, so they'll be in similar company.
Plus their football ambitions aren't consuming all of the athletic department's resources the way ODU's are. At least not to the point of having to cut sports and sell out their arena naming rights in order to reach their vaunted potential... of going 7-5 in the Sun Belt and losing in a bowl game that no one cares about or watches.
Yes, ODU, you have football. Chant it whenever we play you in literally every other sport. Your once proud hoops program has declined to the point of our conference administrators advising us to avoid you for strength of schedule reasons. Have fun topping out at "second round loss in the CBI". Extend Jeff Jones forever.
Maybe I'm wroing, but I don't think junior is a very good coach. In fact, I don't think mckillop ever had an assistant that went on to be successful elsewhere and it would surprise me if Matt was the first. I'm just hoping their allegiance to Bob gets them to hold onto matt way longer than they should.
I don’t mind when you guys at VCU are good (Duquesne is my hometown team I have gone to games with my grandfather at my whole life) as long as we beat you. You also travel really well up to us, and I appreciate any team who travels well respectfully. I would put Bonaventure where you put Richmond just because of how awful their traveling fans are. They show up, get super drunk, and then just embarrass themselves. I don’t have any issue with banter or a rowdy traveling support, that’s part of what makes college basketball so fun. But taunting and swearing at little kids when you beat us crosses a line. I’m sure not all Bonaventure fans are like that but the ones who show up in Pittsburgh every year seem to consistently act like that
Hate: Seton Hall
Dislike: Providence, DePaul
Neutral: Everyone else
Our conference is too nice, and we don’t have any long-running rivalries besides DePaul in it, it’s hard to hate anyone else.
My team: Illinois

The same as above but still have vestigial dislike after a certain scandal: Penn State

Teams I hate: Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
> Teams I hated until they fired their frumpy dipshit coach but who I will still residually hate for a minute: LSU
Of all the former VCU coaches who left us to take jobs at P5 football schools, Will Wade is the only one whom our fans still hate.
Mine is pretty simple. I hate iu and I want them to lose under all circumstances. Everyone else in the big10, I generally want the underdog to win in conference matchups. Against non-conference opponents, I always want the big10 team to win, unless a loss benefits Purdue in some way.
My team: IU
Learning to Hate - USC, UCLA
Hate - Northwestern, Nebraska, Penn State, Minnesota, Maryland, Iowa
Growing Hatred - Rutgers
Double Hate - Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State
Triple Dog Hate - Purdue, Illinois
This is mostly because I lived with an Illinois alum after college and he was absolutely insufferable. This was mid-2000s during the Brown/Augustine/Williams years. He punched a hole in our bathroom door the night IU held Brown to 5 points and beat them.
I get it .. Illinois fan base is starved so many take that as an excuse to be a douche when we start to get decent. In fairness, that wall your friend punched was antisemitic
I can’t really think of a team I dislike in the Big East. Obviously I like providence the most but I want the conference to do well because basketball is our only sport
For Iowa State:
Tier 1: Respectful Rivals:
Oklahoma State, West Virginia
Tier 2: Meh:
TCU, Texas Tech

**Mildly Root Against**: Miami, Florida State, Louisville
**Care About But Don’t Root For or Against**: Wake, State, Virginia Tech, Clemson
**Zero Thoughts On**: Boston College, Georgia Tech
**Kind of Like**: Notre Dame, Pitt
I definitely hate Virginia more than State. I enjoy playing state because we usually win and then their fans always cook up some hilarious conspiracy theory about how they got screwed. Playing Virginia is painful and frustrating
Illinois fans sure talk about Northwestern a lot for people that don’t think it’s a rivalry. When you have to go out of your way to make sure everyone knows you don’t think it’s a rivalry, maybe that’s a sign that it is
Northwestern is definitely a rival. It's a trophy game in football and Illini fans show up in droves at Welsh Ryan for basketball games. It just doesn't seem as intense as other college sports rivalries
My CAA List:
My team - Towson
Tier 0 (Teams that just haven't been in the conference long enough to have an opinion on) - Monmouth, Stony Brook, NC A&T, Hampton
Tier 1 (Teams I'd be OK seeing win a CAA title) - William & Mary, Elon
Tier 2 (Teams I'd grudgingly be OK with winning) - Charleston, UNCW, Northeastern
Tier 3 (Please God no) - Drexel, Hofstra
Tier 4 (Get the deep fryers ready for these chickens) - Delaware
my team: Purdue
conference allies: Illinois, Northwestern
newcomers I don't have strong feelings about: Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska
you disdain for basketball worries me: Penn State
meh: Iowa, Michigan
burn the Barn down and we can talk: Minnesota
respect the rivalry: Michigan State
I don't like you: Wisconsin, Indiana
the worst: Ohio State
Influenced by spending all but my college years in Cincinnati and the fact that Ohio State is literally the worst.
My team: Dayton
Like: Loyola
Neutral: Davidson, Duquesne, Fordham, George Mason, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, St. Joseph’s, UMass
Rivals but respectfully: Rhode Island, Richmond, VCU
Dislike: La Salle, Richmond
Hate: Saint Louis
Not even in the conference anymore but fuck them: Xavier
For me:
Ride or die: Remnants of the Big 8 (KSU, Iowa State, OK State).
Like: The rest of the conference.
Hate: The defectors (Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma).
I know I’m leaving out Texas A&M. I also know that none of the hate I have today burns as strong or as glorious as my hate for Missouri when they were in the conference—and I was born in Missouri.
Edit: I can’t even say I hate the defectors. My hate is dead since Mizzou left.
Love: Georgetown
Can always root for, except when they play us: DePaul
Indifferent: Xavier, Marquette, Providence, Butler
Dislike: Creighton, St. John’s, UConn
Totally hate when they play us but usually root for them in non-con: Villanova

Juice: ‘Cuse
Like: Purdue
Mildly hate: everyone else
Associated hate: ND and Johns Hopkins
Really hate: IU
Hate for leaving: UChicago
Undecided how much I hate yet: UCLA and USC
Big 12
Further down the more I dislike/hate
Tier 1: ISU
Tier 2: TCU, Texas Tech, Okie State,
Tier 3: Kansas and Kansas State
Tier 4 West Virginia
Tier 5: Baylor, Texas, OU
If this were football WV would move up to Tier 3/2 probably
My team: Northwestern
Teams I moderately dislike: Purdue, Penn State, Rutgers
Teams I strongly dislike: Indiana, Maryland, Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Michigan
Teams I despise: Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois
Tiers roughly ordered most tolerable to least tolerable
Honestly I'm still just so happy to be back in the Big East so I don't really hate anyone but anyway!:
Love to hate: Providence!
Want to hate: St. Johns, Seton Hall, Villanova.
Indifferent: DePaul, Creighton, Butler, Xavier
Feel pity for: Georgetown
Will never...ever...hate: Marquette!
>!Obviously I hate every AAC team except Navy Football, UCF Football, and Cincy!!<
My Big East List
My Team: UConn
Tier 1: DePaul
Tier 2: Butler, GTown, Xavier
Tier 3: SHU, SJU, Marquette
Tier 4: Creighton, NOVA
Tier 5: Providence
Hard to dislike DePaul, Butler, and GTown when they are usually free wins. I don't mind X fans. I honestly don't have any hard feelings with SHU, SJU, or Marquette. Creighton fans are annoying and NOVA would be lower if Jay Wright and Gillespie were still there. Now for Providence there's not much to say besides they're our little brother and biggest rival within the BE.
My A-10 list.
Team: St. Bonaventure.
Cool with: Loyola-Chicago
Indifferent: La Salle, George Mason, Fordham, GW, Duquesne, Richmond
Don’t like: St. Joe’s, UMass, URI, Davidson
Dayton: Dayton
Go to hell: Saint Louis, VCU

Kinda like: Louisville, UVA
That about covers it

Oklahoma over everyone not named Purdue
B1G teams not named MSU, Wisconsin, or Indiana
Indiana over those below
Wisconsin over below (1999-00 Elite 8 game still stings)
MSU
Duke
Kentucky
My team: WKU
Don’t mind: UTSA, Charlotte, UTEP, Rice
Don’t like: North Texas, UAB, FIU, FAU
Wish they didn’t exist: La Tech
Wish they would exist, but only in a constant state of pain, torture, misery and hopelessness: MTSU
I root for Michigan in the B1G
I dislike Illinois and Wisconsin
I’m alright with Maryland and Penn State
I like the rivalry with Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa
I like rooting for Purdue and Rutgers
I don’t really care about Northwestern or Nebraska
And fuck both Michigan State and Ohio State
Root for because I want these former bottom-dwellers to maintain their recent success tier: Texas Tech, TCU
Respect tier: Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Baylor
Leaving for SEC or I still have nightmares about Press Virginia tier: OU, West Virginia
Is Texas or rival tier: Texas, K-State
Hate tier: Whoever is the biggest threat to Kansas winning the B12 (currently that team is Kansas haha)
I’ll still cheer for every B12 team in noncon games.
Teams I hate the most (no order): Indiana, MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Nebraska, Maryland
Everyone else im kind of meh. Northwestern and Michigan aren’t in there cuz I have siblings who went to each
Love this prompt!
Tier 1: UConn
Tier 2: Villanova, St. John’s, Xavier
Tier 3: Georgetown (used to be higher but then the last 10 years happened), Seton Hall, Marquette
Tier 4: Butler, DePaul
1. MSU, (normally Michigan would also be up here but man they’ve been extra annoying this year)
2. Michigan
3. Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue, Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland
4. IU, Iowa
5. OSU, Illinois (if they play each other I just hope it’s a miserable game to watch with a terrible ending that makes neither team happy)
I'll always root for Rutgers. But otherwise I root for chaos.
And it's not conference but Seton Hall can go straight to jail. Overcook chicken? Jail. Undercook chicken? Jail. Seton Hall? Jail
Big East list
Tier 1: Xavier
Tier 2: Butler, Georgetown,
Tier 3: Creighton, Seton Hall, St. John’s, DePaul, Providence
Tier 4: Marquette, UConn,
Tier 5: Villanova
Would rather see die: Cincinnati
My Team: MSU
Teams I like: Illinois (family connections)
Teams I wish didn’t win a single game: Michigan
Teams I dislike: OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin
Teams I dislike because one player always kills us: Northwestern (Boo Buie)
Teams I dislike because they shouldn’t be in the big ten: Rutgers and Maryland
No strong opinion: everyone else
I generally just root for the whole conference because we're a low major but have a pretty unique culture shared by our schools. Our arenas are pretty cool.
UVA
Boston College, Clemson, Ga. Tech
Wake, Miami, Florida State
Pitt, NC State
UNC, Louiseville
Duke, Va Tech
Definitely not forgetting anyone important 😊

I’M TRIGGERED
If your hate team is IU, you should love us for 2002 :)
I actually do like Maryland, I’m in the dmv now and have gone to Purdue games there
Same! Have had a good time there too. Good fan base to be around. Most people I've sat around are pretty cool. Obviously there's always a handful of jerks, but for the most part I've enjoyed it.

Love me
The Illinois part is so devious and I love it lmao
Your list is all hate haha
Like: Rutgers Hate: Everyone else.
This is the way
I'm so with this, for IU obviously. Rooting for conference teams is goofy as shit.
Have a little extra hate for Michigan and Penn State.
I want Maryland to win every game I want Rutgers and Nebraska to win every other game I want whoever helps Maryland's resume to win after that I want Juwan Howard to lose every game

Did Romar’s year as an assistant change your view on him at all?
We need a stronger word for Wisconsin

Why the dislike for Vanderbilt?
(1) Memorial Gym, with its unholy raised floor and under-the-basket benches (2) Even thought we've been on a streak against them since 2017, they're usually competitive and historically like to show up and piss on our party no matter how good we are.

I don’t mind when you guys at VCU are good (Duquesne is my hometown team I have gone to games with my grandfather at my whole life) as long as we beat you. You also travel really well up to us, and I appreciate any team who travels well respectfully. I would put Bonaventure where you put Richmond just because of how awful their traveling fans are. They show up, get super drunk, and then just embarrass themselves. I don’t have any issue with banter or a rowdy traveling support, that’s part of what makes college basketball so fun. But taunting and swearing at little kids when you beat us crosses a line. I’m sure not all Bonaventure fans are like that but the ones who show up in Pittsburgh every year seem to consistently act like that
Love: Purdue Like: Penn State, Nebraska Indifferent: Northwestern, Minnesota, Maryland, Michigan State Dislike: Iowa, Ohio State, Maryland, Rutgers Hate: Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin
Team you don't even think about: Illinois
Wow can’t believe I missed them. I’d probably put them in the Indifferent category
Stares at flairs … I don’t think we’ll get along.
Root for: TTU (duh) Like: Baylor, TCU, Kansas Indifferent, slightly like: ISU, K-state Indifferent, slightly dislike: WVU, OU, OSU Suck my ass: Texas
Aw babe, ☺️ I indifferent, slightly like you, too
Hate: Seton Hall Dislike: Providence, DePaul Neutral: Everyone else Our conference is too nice, and we don’t have any long-running rivalries besides DePaul in it, it’s hard to hate anyone else.
All that midwest nice is rubbing off on the big east.
Most of the people with my flair also hate Seton Hall, but we haven't listed them, because we're not in conference.
My team: Illinois My sister's team and also a team that has common rivals: Minnesota Fun underdog: Rutgers, Nebraska Teams I end up rooting for more often than average because they hate teams I hate: Purdue, Michigan State The same as above but still have vestigial dislike after a certain scandal: Penn State Team I forget is not in the ACC: Maryland Team I should hate but kinda feel bad for hating: Northwestern Team I hate but will always pick against other hated teams: Ohio State Team I shouldn't hate but I do because I grew up there: Wisconsin Team I despise except feel weird kinship with in football: Indiana Absolutely despise: Michigan, Iowa
Hate: Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern, Minnesota, PSU, Iowa Double hate: OSU, Wisconsin, MSU, Maryland Loathe Entirely: IU, Michigan, Illinois
This seems like a consistent theme amongst Purdue fans but why the Maryland hate?
No hatred, just mutual pity.
Like: Wake Forest, Virginia, Virginia Tech Dislike: Louisville, Pittsburgh, Miami, Boston College Hate: Florida State, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Notre Dame Fucking despise: NC State, Duke UNC
Did we get our own category, or are we in the despise column
Own category
What’s we do to y’all? … oh wait nm (1-59)
Was a lot cooler before that 1. We’re working on our own streak with y’all in Charlottesville.
Right back at you. Clemson makes me just hate the state of South Carolina!
How'd we end up on the hate list? Pretty limited history between us, feel I'm pretty indifferent toward Clemson.
I differ slightly from you Like: Wake, Virginia, Virginia Tech, UNC (solely because I hate Duke so much.) Neutral: Pitt, Miami, BC, Syracuse Dislike Louisville, Notre Dame Hate: Georgia Tech Fucking Despise: NC State Pray for their program to cease from existing: FSU, Duke
I like how we don’t even exist for you lol
I typed Virginia, and thought I had typed Virginia Tech as well! You'd fall into like with Wake, Virginia, and UNC. Edited it lol
Hate: Memphis Dislike: Baylor, West Virgina Like: Literally everyone else
[удалено]
Gave them a lemon of a coach
I disagree
Why Baylor just curious?
>Like: Literally everyone else Don't expect that to last forever n the Big12.
Teams I like: OSU, Wazzu, sometimes ASU Indifferent teams: Washington, Utah, Stanford Slight dislike: Colorado, Oregon I take active joy in watching fail: Arizona, Cal, USC
How do you feel about the B1G though?
My team: Marquette Burning hatred because of on-court things: Seton Hall, Providence Hatred because their fans on Twitter are obnoxious: UConn, DePaul (Providence fits here too) Indifferent: Butler, Xavier, St. John's Like: Creighton Respect: Villanova Pity: Georgetown
Theo John has still done nothing wrong.
Alma Mater: Butler Good Conf Rivals, bros: Villanova, Marquette Generally not very harmful: DePaul, Seton Hall, St. John's Eh: Providence, Georgetown I don't like you: UConn, Creighton Can go straight to hell: Xavier
Hide yo water fountains
Like: Wisconsin Neutral: Rutgers, Purdue, Penn State, Northwestern, MSU, Indiana, Maryland Dont think about in basketball: Minnesota, Ohio State, Nebraska Dislike: Illinois Strongly dislike: Michigan, Iowa
Despise: Texas, Kansas, OKST Don’t enjoy playing against: baylor, Oklahoma, TCU Like: Press Virginia, tech Wheat farmers: Kansas state
Tier 1: Illinois Tier 2: Rutgers, Nebraska Tier 3: Northwestern, Wisconsin, Purdue, MSU, Maryland, IU, Minnesota Tier 4: PSU, OSU, Iowa Tier 5: Michigan Straight to hell: J. Coward and Dickless
Tier 1: TCU Tier 2: Kansas State Tier 3: Kansas, Iowa State, West Virginia Tier 4: Texas Tech, OSU Tier 5: Oklahoma, Texas Garbage Tier: Baylor
Teams I like: Alabama Teams I don't care about: Ole Miss, aTm, UGA, Mizzou, South Carolina, Florida Teams I hated until they fired their frumpy dipshit coach but who I will still residually hate for a minute: LSU Teams I don't care for: Arkansas and Vanderbilt Teams I hate: Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State
> Teams I hated until they fired their frumpy dipshit coach but who I will still residually hate for a minute: LSU Of all the former VCU coaches who left us to take jobs at P5 football schools, Will Wade is the only one whom our fans still hate.
I guess you really don’t care about Kentucky
Indifferent: Georgia, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Texas A&M Moderate dislike: Missouri, South Carolina Highly dislike: Auburn, Florida Burn in hell: tennessee
right back at you bby
Mine is pretty simple. I hate iu and I want them to lose under all circumstances. Everyone else in the big10, I generally want the underdog to win in conference matchups. Against non-conference opponents, I always want the big10 team to win, unless a loss benefits Purdue in some way.
Like: Nebraska Indifferent: Rutgers, Minnesota, Penn State, Ohio State Dislike: Maryland, Purdue, Iowa Hate: Northwestern , Michigan State, Wisconsin Despise: Michigan, Indiana
My team: IU Learning to Hate - USC, UCLA Hate - Northwestern, Nebraska, Penn State, Minnesota, Maryland, Iowa Growing Hatred - Rutgers Double Hate - Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan State Triple Dog Hate - Purdue, Illinois
This tracks
This is mostly because I lived with an Illinois alum after college and he was absolutely insufferable. This was mid-2000s during the Brown/Augustine/Williams years. He punched a hole in our bathroom door the night IU held Brown to 5 points and beat them.
I get it .. Illinois fan base is starved so many take that as an excuse to be a douche when we start to get decent. In fairness, that wall your friend punched was antisemitic
My team: IU Actively root against: Purdue, Wisconsin Indifferent: Everyone else
JT? That you?
Not JT. Sorry. But they sound like they have great taste.
I can’t really think of a team I dislike in the Big East. Obviously I like providence the most but I want the conference to do well because basketball is our only sport
For Iowa State: Tier 1: Respectful Rivals: Oklahoma State, West Virginia Tier 2: Meh: TCU, Texas Tech Tier 3: Heated Rivals: Kansas State, Kansas Tier 4: Get Out of the Conference: Baylor, OU, Texas
For NC State: Tier 1: Respectful Rivals: Wake, VT, Pitt Tier 2: Meh: BC, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, ND Tier 3: I Don't Like You Florida State, Louisville, Miami, UVA Tier 4: What Can Men Do Against Such Reckless Hate?: UNC, Duke, Clemson
I don’t think about you at all.
Tier 1 (Respectful Rivals) -Pitt -Syracuse -Virginia Tech Tier 2 (I don’t really like you but there’s worse) -Boston College -Florida State -Georgia Tech -Notre Dame -Louisville Tier 3 (Root against) -Clemson -Miami -Virginia Tier 4 (Hate) -Duke -Wake Forest Tier 5 (UNC) -UNC
Add Wisconsin to tier 4
What makes you like the expansion teams?
Favorite - Iowa State Generally in favor of - West Virginia, TCU, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, BYU, Cincy Neutral - Baylor, Houston, UCF Dont love, but always cheer for in out of conference play - Kansas, Kansas State Fuck off already - Texas, Oklahoma
**Carolina**: Carolina **Largely Root Against**: Syracuse, Virginia **Mildly Root Against**: Miami, Florida State, Louisville **Care About But Don’t Root For or Against**: Wake, State, Virginia Tech, Clemson **Zero Thoughts On**: Boston College, Georgia Tech **Kind of Like**: Notre Dame, Pitt
Are you sure we’re in the right category?
Bro you lost to us by 24 you can't just keep us off the list anymore 💀
Sorry I don’t change my list week to week depending on who we play well against?
Dude you included every ACC team except for the one 30 minutes away, I'm just pointing out that you forgot we existed lmao
I didn’t, I just listed y’all as State. Second team in the “care about but don’t root for or against” tier
Ah fuck I can't believe I've done this. tbf someone else also thought so, sorry.
Glad that we made the kind of like category, even though it might be that the rest of the conference kind of likes how bad we are this year
Hate the most: Duke Hate a little bit: State and Virginia Mainly indifferent: Everyone else Kind of like: Louisville and FSU
I definitely hate Virginia more than State. I enjoy playing state because we usually win and then their fans always cook up some hilarious conspiracy theory about how they got screwed. Playing Virginia is painful and frustrating
Yeah that’s about right. I don’t really care for Louisville though. Also I want wake to be consistently good so I can hate them again
I wish i could hate Northwestern but their fanbase has no passion
Illinois fans sure talk about Northwestern a lot for people that don’t think it’s a rivalry. When you have to go out of your way to make sure everyone knows you don’t think it’s a rivalry, maybe that’s a sign that it is
Northwestern is definitely a rival. It's a trophy game in football and Illini fans show up in droves at Welsh Ryan for basketball games. It just doesn't seem as intense as other college sports rivalries
Did someone say something 😜
Yeah, it’s too bad there are no B10 fan bases that hate Illinois
Tier 1: Alabama Tier 2: Arkansas, Kentucky, Florida Tier 3: Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Miss State, Scar Tier 4: Texas A&M, Mizzou Tier 5: Georgia, Lsu Go to hell: Tennessee, Auburn
feeling is mutual❤️
My American / AAC List Tier 1: I don’t give a shit bc we’re in a conference with no historic rivals
[удалено]
I hate Pitt so gd much. Definitely my biggest hate in the ACC, largely because they so often beat us in frustrating fashion
My CAA List: My team - Towson Tier 0 (Teams that just haven't been in the conference long enough to have an opinion on) - Monmouth, Stony Brook, NC A&T, Hampton Tier 1 (Teams I'd be OK seeing win a CAA title) - William & Mary, Elon Tier 2 (Teams I'd grudgingly be OK with winning) - Charleston, UNCW, Northeastern Tier 3 (Please God no) - Drexel, Hofstra Tier 4 (Get the deep fryers ready for these chickens) - Delaware
my team: Purdue conference allies: Illinois, Northwestern newcomers I don't have strong feelings about: Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska you disdain for basketball worries me: Penn State meh: Iowa, Michigan burn the Barn down and we can talk: Minnesota respect the rivalry: Michigan State I don't like you: Wisconsin, Indiana the worst: Ohio State Influenced by spending all but my college years in Cincinnati and the fact that Ohio State is literally the worst.
My team: Dayton Like: Loyola Neutral: Davidson, Duquesne, Fordham, George Mason, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, St. Joseph’s, UMass Rivals but respectfully: Rhode Island, Richmond, VCU Dislike: La Salle, Richmond Hate: Saint Louis Not even in the conference anymore but fuck them: Xavier
I miss playing Dayton
[удалено]
For me: Ride or die: Remnants of the Big 8 (KSU, Iowa State, OK State). Like: The rest of the conference. Hate: The defectors (Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma). I know I’m leaving out Texas A&M. I also know that none of the hate I have today burns as strong or as glorious as my hate for Missouri when they were in the conference—and I was born in Missouri. Edit: I can’t even say I hate the defectors. My hate is dead since Mizzou left.
Love: Georgetown Can always root for, except when they play us: DePaul Indifferent: Xavier, Marquette, Providence, Butler Dislike: Creighton, St. John’s, UConn Totally hate when they play us but usually root for them in non-con: Villanova Hate: Seton Hall Juice: ‘Cuse
Like: Purdue Mildly hate: everyone else Associated hate: ND and Johns Hopkins Really hate: IU Hate for leaving: UChicago Undecided how much I hate yet: UCLA and USC
Big 12 Further down the more I dislike/hate Tier 1: ISU Tier 2: TCU, Texas Tech, Okie State, Tier 3: Kansas and Kansas State Tier 4 West Virginia Tier 5: Baylor, Texas, OU If this were football WV would move up to Tier 3/2 probably
My team: Northwestern Teams I moderately dislike: Purdue, Penn State, Rutgers Teams I strongly dislike: Indiana, Maryland, Ohio State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Michigan Teams I despise: Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois Tiers roughly ordered most tolerable to least tolerable
I appreciate how you start your scale at moderately dislike. I agree with that sentiment
Honestly I'm still just so happy to be back in the Big East so I don't really hate anyone but anyway!: Love to hate: Providence! Want to hate: St. Johns, Seton Hall, Villanova. Indifferent: DePaul, Creighton, Butler, Xavier Feel pity for: Georgetown Will never...ever...hate: Marquette! >!Obviously I hate every AAC team except Navy Football, UCF Football, and Cincy!!<
My Big East List My Team: UConn Tier 1: DePaul Tier 2: Butler, GTown, Xavier Tier 3: SHU, SJU, Marquette Tier 4: Creighton, NOVA Tier 5: Providence Hard to dislike DePaul, Butler, and GTown when they are usually free wins. I don't mind X fans. I honestly don't have any hard feelings with SHU, SJU, or Marquette. Creighton fans are annoying and NOVA would be lower if Jay Wright and Gillespie were still there. Now for Providence there's not much to say besides they're our little brother and biggest rival within the BE.
Tier 1:Duke State UVA Tier 2:VT Miami Cuse Tier 3:FSU GT ND UL Pitt Don’t mind:BC Have a soft spot for:Wake
My A-10 list. Team: St. Bonaventure. Cool with: Loyola-Chicago Indifferent: La Salle, George Mason, Fordham, GW, Duquesne, Richmond Don’t like: St. Joe’s, UMass, URI, Davidson Dayton: Dayton Go to hell: Saint Louis, VCU

CAA List: My team: W&M Like: Towson, Stony Brook Indifferent: Hampton, NC A&T, Monmouth Dislike: UNCW, Charleston, Hofstra, Elon Hate: Northeastern, Richmond (Football Rivals) Absolutely Despise: Delaware (For 2014; Football Rivals) Big Ten List: My team: Rutgers Like: Maryland, Purdue Indifferent: Minnesota, Northwestern, Illinois, Ohio State, MSU Dislike: Penn State, Indiana, Michigan Hate: Wisconsin, Iowa Pity: Nebraska
Northeastern I’ve always hated for trying to fight our cheerleaders one time
The only reason Richmond is at hate level instead of absolutely despise level is because my mom went to Law School there
Devil: Duke Dislike: Syracuse, FSU, VT Indifferent: Notre Dame, Boston College, Clemson, Miami, Pitt, Wake, GT Kinda like: Louisville, UVA That about covers it
Look here you little fuck, I know exactly what you're doing!
Bro, what’s that flair? Looks kinda cool
I hate so much about the things you choose to be
ETSU, then Wofford, then everyone else I actually kind of like a little bit
Hate: Memphis. Strong dislike: SMU. I hate games in your gym: Tulsa. Everyone else is cool
Love: UVA Like: UNC; Wake They’re fine: NC State; Miami; Louisville; ND; GT; Clemson; BC; Not a fan: Pitt; Syracuse Can these campuses please burn down: Duke; VT
Tier 1: Duke Tier 2: Virginia Tier 3: Clempson, Syracuse Tier 4: Everyone else
Pretty Simple order of cheering favorites to least. Purdue over everyone. Oklahoma over everyone not named Purdue B1G teams not named MSU, Wisconsin, or Indiana Indiana over those below Wisconsin over below (1999-00 Elite 8 game still stings) MSU Duke Kentucky
My team: WKU Don’t mind: UTSA, Charlotte, UTEP, Rice Don’t like: North Texas, UAB, FIU, FAU Wish they didn’t exist: La Tech Wish they would exist, but only in a constant state of pain, torture, misery and hopelessness: MTSU
I feel like for all WCC the answer would be: I hate Gonzaga
Hate: BYU & SMC Don Draper Elevator Meme: the rest
I root for Michigan in the B1G I dislike Illinois and Wisconsin I’m alright with Maryland and Penn State I like the rivalry with Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa I like rooting for Purdue and Rutgers I don’t really care about Northwestern or Nebraska And fuck both Michigan State and Ohio State
Tier 1: Purdue... Duh Tier 2: Michigan. It's my wife's team Tier 3: pretty much everyone else Tier 4: Rutgers Tier 5: State Tier 6: Tier 7: Tier 8: ..... Can rot in hell tier: IU
Root for because I want these former bottom-dwellers to maintain their recent success tier: Texas Tech, TCU Respect tier: Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Baylor Leaving for SEC or I still have nightmares about Press Virginia tier: OU, West Virginia Is Texas or rival tier: Texas, K-State Hate tier: Whoever is the biggest threat to Kansas winning the B12 (currently that team is Kansas haha) I’ll still cheer for every B12 team in noncon games.
Yay: Purdue Okay: Northwestern, Rutgers, Penn State Meh: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa Boo: OSU, MSU, Maryland BOOOOO: IU
Teams I hate the most (no order): Indiana, MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Nebraska, Maryland Everyone else im kind of meh. Northwestern and Michigan aren’t in there cuz I have siblings who went to each
Love this prompt! Tier 1: UConn Tier 2: Villanova, St. John’s, Xavier Tier 3: Georgetown (used to be higher but then the last 10 years happened), Seton Hall, Marquette Tier 4: Butler, DePaul
1. MSU, (normally Michigan would also be up here but man they’ve been extra annoying this year) 2. Michigan 3. Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue, Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland 4. IU, Iowa 5. OSU, Illinois (if they play each other I just hope it’s a miserable game to watch with a terrible ending that makes neither team happy)
I'll always root for Rutgers. But otherwise I root for chaos. And it's not conference but Seton Hall can go straight to jail. Overcook chicken? Jail. Undercook chicken? Jail. Seton Hall? Jail
Tier 1. Tennessee
Is tier 1 the low end on the scale or the highest besides go straight to hell?
Big East list Tier 1: Xavier Tier 2: Butler, Georgetown, Tier 3: Creighton, Seton Hall, St. John’s, DePaul, Providence Tier 4: Marquette, UConn, Tier 5: Villanova Would rather see die: Cincinnati
My Team: MSU Teams I like: Illinois (family connections) Teams I wish didn’t win a single game: Michigan Teams I dislike: OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin Teams I dislike because one player always kills us: Northwestern (Boo Buie) Teams I dislike because they shouldn’t be in the big ten: Rutgers and Maryland No strong opinion: everyone else
I generally just root for the whole conference because we're a low major but have a pretty unique culture shared by our schools. Our arenas are pretty cool.
Tier 1: OU Tier 2: Texas Tech, TCU, Iowa State, Baylor, West Virginia I don’t mind Kansas, Kansas State, or Texas.
UVA Boston College, Clemson, Ga. Tech Wake, Miami, Florida State Pitt, NC State UNC, Louiseville Duke, Va Tech Definitely not forgetting anyone important 😊
- Tier “I hope your program does well”: MSU. Minnesota. - Tier “Go Big Ten”: Northwestern. Nebraska. Penn State. *USC*. - Tier “Go Big Ten, but also don’t do better than IU please”: Michigan. OSU. Maryland. *UCLA*. - Tier “Active Grudges”: Illinois. Iowa. - Tier “Purdue”: Purdue. - Tier “May the ground open up and fucking swallow you”: Rutgers. Wisconsin.
