re: Which SEC team(s) do you have special hate for?

"Hate" is an overused word these days. "Hate speech" is anything that one side disagrees with or anything said at Univ Mo except by specific people outside of safe spaces. "Hating on (fill in blank)" means disparaging someone or some thing.

BUT, that said...

I look with pity on Auburn - such a poor bunch of fan-sheep being led to the brain-washing famibly facility... from which there is no 12 step recovery possible.

I look with disgust on Tennessee - nothing uplifting or noble can be found in that benighted State or identified within any segment of the moonshining fan base.

I look with amusement on the slobbering antics of the LSU fans, who annually build their hope and hyperbole to levels that would be comedic if attempted by any other teams, only to crash into a morass of misery and self destructive howling and finger pointing blame.

I look with kindness and approval on the realistically measured but hopeful attitudes demonstrated by both the Piggies and the Aggies who when reviewing their teams failings and good points, take care to recognize and tip their caps to their overlord.

I am astonished and look with wonder upon the insular attitudes of FLA fans who have forgotten their long-suffering forbearance caused by not winning an SEC championship for 60 straight years of frustration before the year 1990, and now act like entitled Yankees.

I acknowledge with applause the pain but stolid forbearance and loyalty of the MSU, Ole Miss, Ky, Mo, Vanderbilt, USCe. These fans are a exemplary model for all of us... fandom does not need championships.

And hate is a word that only applies to institutions that usually renders your team helpless...thus powerlessness is a generator of "hate." That description doesn't apply to Alabama's relationship to any other University.
