Re: Favorite/least favorite teams in all sports

Kansas? Really?

KU fans, like UNC fans, have always seemed respectful and knowledgeable. In fact, those would be the first two I'd rank in terms of pleasantries.

You don't live across the state from them, lol. They act as if the Civil War was just yesterday. Most Kansas fans I have found to be idiotic, borrish, and obnoxious.

The NCHC is going to be a lot of fun, Miami is quite the powerhouse in hockey aren't they? They seem to be one of those teams that is always in the top 10. UND is in a bit of a down year, but still has a chance to make the tourney.

My favorite least favorite team is probably the New England Patriots. Sure, I'm not a fan but I don't mind seeing them do well.

Did I do that right?

I've lived in West Virginia for almost nine years and while I do respect most of the WVU posters on this forum, most of the fans are downright conspiracy theorists with an "it's us against the world" mentality. It's never WVU's fault if they lose a game and everybody from the refs to ESPN is to blame.
Your analogy of WVU fans is my analogy of Marshall fans. Also add with the Marshall fans:

"It was a moral victory."
"Its doesn't matter if we lose all of our games as long as we beat WVU-our obsession of envy."

and my personal favorite Marshall fan's qoute...

"We played good with them for a half!"

I always heard WVU didn't believe in moral victories. The LSU game proved otherwise. WVU got blown out in Morgantown yet they ran up 533 total yards on the "best defense in the nation".

If that isn't the definition of a moral victory, I don't know what is.

I'll always say the Friend of Joe Bowl was played five years too late. I think it would be best for both teams to do away with the series and see what happens if the two ever meet in a bowl game and Marshall comes out with the win. That's how Kentucky and Louisville started playing in basketball on a yearly basis.

I know what you saying about the LSU game, but I was one of the fans that said we lost, plain and simple. There are NO good losses, I don't care if you are the 0-10 team playing the #1 team in the nation, there is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING good about a loss. So in reality I could care less that WVU put up 500 and some odd yards against LSU because the end result was a Loss. Yes I have ZERO respect for MooU football, their fans gave me this snobbish attitude, I truly hate their program.

The FOJB was not 5 years too late, WVU would have dominated that game no matter the decade. The level of athletes from both institutions were and always will be on different levels. Its kind of like putting a Class A high school JV team against a Class AAA powerhouse, the outcomes will be predictable.
