Teams that you root against ?

[tornado]

I don't root against a lot of other teams

I did root a little against New Mexico when they tampered and lured Granger - but that didn't last long since they were real bad real fast and fired McKay...

...and there's one ex-member of our conference that left a bad residual vibe when they bolted and insulted the rest of the MVC members, including Bradley...

and I don't really ever mind too bad when I see proven repeat-cheaters Bruce Pearl or Kelvin Sampson get beat...

and I always like when Duke has to play Kansas because I know I will be celebrating at least a little bit...
(Duke & Kansas along with Kentucky usually sit atop anyone's poll of what teams people like to root against the most)

BUT - what teams does everyone else root against?? -- anyone IN our conference??

It's strange that I still cheer for Creighton to win but am overjoyed when Wichita (and specifically Marshall) get their you-know-what handed to them.

I can alsoo never root for ISU Red during the regular season, but have cheered them on in postseason play... Begrudgingly.

Some of the rooting against is coach related, (Jim Boeheim, Rick Pitino, Bill Self), and some of it is fan related, (Duke, Kentucky, ISU Red). But there's now 1 team that even exceeds the Redbirds in the enjoyment I get when they lose and that's a shame as I used to be their biggest fan on bradleyfans. And that's of course Wichita State. I put their coach on the same level as our former madame president. I have no respect for either individual therefore neither one will ever get their name mentioned by me on this site ever.

I don’t worry about other teams, except for Illinois St, I just root for the Braves. Funny, most but not all of the programs and coaches mentioned are successful and just like the Yankees years ago people hate winners unless it’s their own team. I’m a Sox fan, but never hated the Yankees. I admired them and their players.

ISU -- Delusional fanbase. I do root for them to do well in the noncon though.
UCLA -- Duane Broussard
Wichita State -- I don't begrudge them leaving-- we'd do the same-- but Marshall didn't have to take gratuitous potshots at Bradley and Peoria out the door.

[LittleBrave]

UNC - some of worst fans and from the boonies
Kentucky - Slimeball coach and hardly keep any underclassmen
Ohio State - Doesn't every Big-10 team hate the Buckeyes?

Drake when they had Mark Phelps as head coach

Kelvin Sampson, current head coach at Houston, is a top target for the Orlando Magic (NBA) to hire as their new head coach

USC, UCLA, Washington. Used to hate Georgetown.

Did some imbecile a couple of posts up say the US once had a female president? Delusional.

LOL, no, that's a reference to the female who was once president of Bradley University

Marc Sonnen & Ali Farokhmanesh were also defensive liabilities for UNI but they sure killed us when we played them...
