Big 12 Teams You Like and Hate


Recommended Posts

Like: Nebraska

 

Respect: The rest of the old Big 8 (although KSU, MU and CU can be annoying)

 

Hate: Texas, aTm, Baylor, Texas Tech

 

What??? I'm really curious, how does one harbor hatred towards Baylor? Their students are tame, they have no fan base, their teams are always horrible, and their campus is in the middle of nowhere... there's plenty there to not give two sh#ts about, but I can't think of anything that's even remotely hate-worthy :blink:

Hate: AKA the worst fanbases I've ever encountered list

ps. sCrUmptious!, just guessing here but I'm assuming secretasianman either hates Texas schools in general or simply hates any school that wasn't part of the old Big 8. - I'd lean towards door number 2 fwiw.

Love:

Colorado

Texas(my father is an alumn, grew up with it)

 

Teams that don't matter:

Kansas

Iowa State

K-State

Oklahoma State

Baylor

 

Teams I hate:

Oklahoma(cheating pricks)

Texas A&M

Texas Tech(crappy offense that puts the defense under enormous pressure)

Missouri(5th down probably ocurred before you were born, time to get over it, plus your field was cheating to begin with)

 

Teams that just perplex me to no end:

Nebraska(days of glory are over, get over it, time to live in the now)

Like/Respect

 

Nebraska - by a long shot.

Texas Aggie

 

Could take or leave/indifferent

Kansas

Missouri

Kansas State

Baylor

Iowa State

 

Hate

 

Texas - to the core.

Oklahoma Aggie (aka, Oklahoma State Cowboys) - more a feeling of contempt rather than "hate".

 

Starting to seriously dislike - at least this year (Heh)

 

Colorado

Texas Tech

 

Worship

 

The Oklahoma Sooners

I don't get it.

 

In the early 80's when I was in school at NU we HATED Oklahoma. Barry Switzer and Brian Bosworth(less) were the DEVIL.

 

Now everyone likes and "respects" them?? wtf?

 

Now I live in Oklahoma and wear my NU gear proudly, people talk to me about how much they respected Nebraska and miss the rivalry.. I do too, but that doesn't mean i ever, EVER root for OU.

 

I root for three teams on a Saturday - NU, and whoever is playing OU and OSU. period.

 

btw - I ran into a couple in the Walmart parking lot here in OKC today covered in Big Red Gear. It was raining and sleeting so I didn't stop but just said 'Go Big Red' when I walked by. They were shocked. LOL. I'm wondering if they read this board.

I felt the same way about the Cornhuskers during the 1980's when I was a teenager, though obviously from the other side. Then a funny thing happened: I grew up, and matured. This Sooner fan is not asking any Cornhusker to "like" my team. But I think the "respect" has been earned, in both directions.
