re: Rank the 15 programs other than yours on your Hate-ometer

1. Florida











2. Tennessee (fluctuates, running hotter right now)
3. Tech (could take over number 2 if they are ever competitive again)

4. Clemson- It's a fake blue blood.

5. USC- I don't like Riley and my dad hates teams from California. Always thought that no matter the sport, they got special treatment. He's probably wrong, but that distaste has been placed in me from an early age.


6. Auburn- Actually, they are really close to falling below this next paragraph. Maybe it's the recent dominance. Maybe Freeze will reawaken any hate I have remaining and laying dormant in my soul.

If I'm being honest, anyone below this line, I really don't care if they win or lose. And usually pull for them when they are playing out of conference. And depending on who they are playing, can pull for Auburn in that situation as well.

7. S. Carolina (they used to be really annoying when they'd think they were gonna win it all every year. And I'm not talking that four year stretch with Spurrier. They could be coming off of a losing season and somehow think the stars were gonna align. Lately though, they seem kind of logical about their team.)

8. Alabama (I really don't hate this team. I trash talk or what have you with them. They have cost us two titles in the past 11 years and another trip to the playoff, and I hate losing to them. But I really don't pull against them when they are playing others unless it benefits us in some way.)

9. LSU (Similar to Bama, they have cost us in the past. But I don't really care when it comes to their game outcomes.)

10. Aggie (They have some really weird stuff they do over there. But just because I don't understand it doesn't mean I have to hate it.)

I really don't have hate for five other teams. I at one time hated Miami. One because their team seemed to be a bunch of villains and two because I liked Bobby Bowden and they'd usually end his championship run before it got rolling good.

Everyone seems to hate Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas and Ohio State, but I couldn't care less one way or the other about them.
