I like/dislike this Big 12 team because

[BigTime]

Like

KSU - They share a common loathing of Kansas. Frank's fun to watch. Solid fans.
ISU - Most loyal fans in the Big 12.
A&M - Not a big Turge fan but I do like watching their team compete and get after it.
Baylor - DFWHoopster.
OU - :OUbball-logo:

Dislike

KU - Arrogance, thuggery and turtlenecks.
OSU - I really don't like Napoleon or how he runs their program. It is also distasteful to rape human beings.
Tech - I really just don't like Tech in any sport (BCG is way too good for that school).
Mizzou - Sawyer
Texas - I don't like Canadians and I don't like Candy (Barnes).

 

[WTSooner]

Like:
TT - I like BCG.
UT - Kelvin and Barnes had a good rivalry going. To me, UT basketball isn't as easy to hate as UT football.
ISU - Not as much like, as I don't dislike them.
aTm - Not as much like, as I don't dislike them. Not a big fan of Turg, but I do like how his teams play.
KSU - They probably don't belong here, but they give KU a hard time, and they've had some great guard play in recent years. I like good guard play.

Hate:
OSU - Much like UT football, my first thought is to not dislike their basketball team as much. But their fans refusal to acknowledge the truth (OU basketball is at least on par with OSU) makes me dislike them.
Mizzou - Never liked them. Not sure why.
KU - I haven't always disliked them. I'm not a Bill Self fan though, so they get put in the hate category.
Baylor - They have to be cheating, don't they?

I'm not a conference pumper. I don't give two sh**s about any of them.

This, can we please leave with a&m for the SEC already

 

[sys]

like:
oklahoma - residual affection left over from the sampson years
a&m - turgeon - i like how honest and grumpy he is with the media

neutral:
tech
texas

starting to dislike a little:
osu - kstate coaches were mean to ford after this year's game, so company line
mu - compete with kstate for kc recruits
ku - brother is ku, self is a good interview vs kstate's main rival and fans are dumbasses

hate:
baylor - drew
isu - iowaness of their fans plus residual effects of mcdermott hating kstate staff.

How any of you could not like ISU is beyond me. Their fans are forced to live in Iowa and have to cheer for a perennial loser in all the sports that matter...yet they SHOW UP. Hilton freakin Magic.

 

[thebigabd]

Like:

Tech: Always liked Tech, in football and basketball. I liked Mike Leach, and they always seem to have sleepers in basketball that are fun to watch. Jarius Jackson, Andre Emmett, Martin Zeno, Ronald Ross, etc.

KSU: Bill Snyder. They always seem to have someone really exciting to watch playing QB. Michael Bishop, Ell Roberson, Josh Freeman, etc.

OU: :OU-logo:

Dislike:

Baylor: Scott Drew.

Texas: Just because.

OSU: Rival.

Texas A&M: Male cheerleaders.

Missouri: Always think they are better than they actually are.

No problem with:

Kansas - I like Bill Self, and usually want their football team to win.
ISU - Usually want them to do well in both sports, but I wouldnt say I like them.

You misquoted me! They are on the dislike list!

My bad. I just liked your male cheerleader commentary. So freakin true.

Yes

It's not healthy to spend time and energy disliking things, ladies and gents. There is no reason we can't all be friends.

 

[WTSooner]

The SEC would be the worst thing for OU football. We have it GOOD in the Big 12. VERY GOOD.

ISU has great fans, probably the best in the conference. Nice people, very supportive of their teams, and can be very loud.

I went to an OU-ISU football game in Ames 3 or 4 years ago. It is the smallest football stadium in the conference, and both ends are open, so you would think it isn't very loud, but actually, it was as loud as any game I've ever attended.

Like:
ISU
Tech -- My brother-in-law is a Tech grad.
Baylor -- Southern Baptists; they are never a real threat in any sport; they do their part to keep the avg gpa of the conference up.
Mizzou -- I live in Missouri and the Mizzou fan base is so beaten down from getting caught with their pants down on numerous occasions (Ricky Clemons, Paige Arena, move to Big 10, Mike Anderson, etc.) that it's hard to dislike them.

dislike:
KU
KSU -- I do like Frank Martin and Bill Snyder A LOT, but overall don't like KSU.
Texas
aTm
osu

I disagree. It'd be a little more challenging, but OU unquestionably trumps every program in the SEC sans Alabama, and that's a toss-up.

And as far as consistency is concerned, I'd put OU's up with any program in the SEC since Stoops has been coach.

OU's schedule was splitting hairs with a typical SEC schedule this season, and OU had a great year. They would be great wherever they went.

No joke. Can't tell you how pathetic my SEC friends were that lived in Mississippi when all of them would pull for one another. It's almost like rivalries disappeared whenever bowl season/NCAA tournaments would come around.

Definitely see your point. I have respect for their fanbase because of your aforementioned reasons.

 

[HoHum]

I don't dislike any school or players. I've yet to see a player that I just dislike, and don't really comprehend how others can "hate" athletes that they don't even know. The hate on Tebow and Hansborough the last few years has been bewildering to me.

The only way in which I enjoy seeing teams lose is what fans have the funniest meltdowns, so I hope the frequency is higher for those teams, because that means I get to read more funny.
