Who do you hate the most?

[RUChet]

As a RU sports fan, what program/fans do you hate the most?

 

[RUBob75]

No question about it! PSU sports.

 

[MrsScrew]

anyone who knows me knows that psu is always my answer.

 

[The Scarlet North]

Syracuse but PSU is close

 

[DJ Spanky]

Success With Honor!

 

[Bueller]

"Other" = none.

Hating sports teams is tribal and I dont gravitate that way.

 

[RUnotentertained]

Anything related to Philly
And they like to only claim rape u as Philly when they are 6-0

 

[Anon1754923206]

My hateful quartet:

texas u
Indiana Catholics
State penn
L$U

 

[mdk02]

Syracuse lax and football

ND football

Man, the late 60's is over a half century ago. It's Ok, not everything has to be about Peace and Love.

 

[thegock]

The team whose iconic coach, Joe Pedterno, enabled child rape for decades.

 

[Waldo73]

I hate the way RU keeps losing, in fb and bb!

 

[Bueller]

I wasn't part of that but I know they very tribal. Many of them turned on WW II people and introduced ageism ( "dont trust anyone over 30" and such - I saw groovy people cry on 30th birthdays). As they die off they have left few things intact.

 

[MrsScrew]

And a whole choir gets them if they lose at the whiteout game like they did this year.

 

[RUChet]

Syracuse but PSU is close

Think they’d get more votes if we were back in the big east - doesn’t feel like a rival anymore as it’s been so long since we played them regularly

 

[RUChet]

I voted PSU but Mich is a close second. Most arrogant fans outside of ND

 

[SHUSource]

In my mind, I decouple Rutgers football and basketball. Hating Rutgers hoops feels like my job, something I'm duty-bound to. But I really like Pikiell; always have. And I can't root against him now considering his battle. So I'll figure that out this season.

I see virtually no relationship between Rutgers football and basketball. The success of one is irrelevant to the other, so I am largely indifferent to football. That's not to say I'm not interested, as I obviously am, and with my niece at Rutgers now, I considered a much lighter view of the program this year. But I can't stand the coach, a charlatan of the highest order, and given that I always loved to play armchair AD, I have been watching this train wreck unfold with great interest. It's not fandom or hate; it's just a reality TV show to me (which, ironically, I never watch).

After moving to Bucks County in 2010, I wanted to embrace Penn State, but that was a tough time to take on that assignment given what was about to blow there. And once I got involved with Temple as a grad student, that idea was shot to hell with no turning back. So even though I have no true active rivalry with them, I feel something like many of you do about them. Just not as intense.

I don’t know if a GS is a Charlatan as they knowingly do what they do to deceive for personal gain. I don’t think GS is knowingly deceiving. I think he truly believes he’s a great coach when results say otherwise .

 

[RUChet]

Surprised hating Seton Hall hoops only got 1 vote. Maybe the rivalry means more to the players? Or is that this is the Football thread?

Michigan fans are complete pricks. The alums are complete snobs who think they graduated from an Ivy Lite like Duke or NW and the Walmart fans are complete pieces of ****.

Rutgers alums only care about South Orange Community College one day a year. Other than that they are irrelevant to us.

Maybe he is showing signs of early senility.

I'm mildly disappointed.

That's fair and certainly possible. Or it could be that he knows he's got nothing to give but is too proud or vain to bring it to an end on his own. Or he could just absolutely love the paycheck and isn't surrendering it until he's forced to. In any case, he can't really think he's good at this anymore, can he?

 

[HeavenUniversity]

This was a tough selection, but I went with Northern Indiana College.

 

[Caliknight]

Ohio St and Hopkins lacrosse

 

[RUPete90]

Went with other - Michigan fans in anything.

This is a football board. Perhaps the results would be different on the Men's Basketball Forum

 

[Section124]

With the way Rutgers Football and Basketball have performed since 1976, not sure how that option is not running away with it. I can't even hate the other programs because we can't get out of our own way.

Exactly. That’s why I put that option there. I almost voted for it but had to go with anything Penn St

I actually think he’s be best at coaching in a league where every team has the exact same talent. Facilities, fanbase, etc. I do think he gets kids to play hard and scandal free . So I think they would be his best role - his teams in that league would be generally above average but Never elite

 

[RUChet]

Funny thing about this poll is 53% votes for anything Penn state but if I polled PSU fans maybe 5% would say anything RU. They don’t hate us as they hardly recognize we exist.

And what’s strange about PSU, is they ga e no football rival. Maybe Pitt but Pitt sees WVu as their rival or at least they did

 

[RUPete90]

The Seton Hall basketball rivalry is nowhere near what it once was. The biggest change is the league shift. We would play them twice a year and sometimes three in the BE tournament. When recruiting still mattered, we competed for many of the same local players. As a basketball fan, you definitely still want to beat them, but it's not as intense anymore.

 

[RUfrom NJ]

Penn State is the answer. But...I also loathe Syracuse - perhaps no fanbase in college sports with more misplaced arrogance.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Maryland Football/Hoops has 1 vote - HEY, we should start a rivalry with them!

 

[Anon1751565407]

But Jim Brown was good.

This is true…RU is not even a fleeting thought to state Penn fans. We have beaten them twice in history. The last time in 1988…the RU state Penn fan rivalry exists only in the minds of RU fans and it will be that way for decades to come.

 

[mdk02]

But Jim Brown was good.

In 3 sports. 1st team AA in 2.

 

[MrsScrew]

Last night:

Me: sitting alone in the living room watching a show on Peacock

Peacock: shows a penn state MBA commercial

Me: saying "f*ck penn state" while throwing my finger up at the TV

I don't even think about it anymore. It's just an automatic reflex

 

[BigRnj]

Duh … psu (fps)
