I like/dislike this Big 12 team because

[thebigabd]

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.

I dont really dislike any of them either...

You don't always have to give this lecture/disclaimer everytime a dislike/hate/loathe/dispise thread is made on this board. We are all well aware of your stance.

I don't get why this stuff is so "bewildering" to you. It goes on at every message board all over the world wide internets. Fans like to act like fans...we like having rivals. We like picking heros and villians. Nothing "bewildering" about it.

It's not like I would ever act on my "hate" of other players and teams. It doesn't cause me much stress at all in my life. Quite the contrary...it makes sports more fun for me.

Suprised you don't recognize why fans do what we do with the amount of time you spend on fan message board sites.

Heck, lots of stuff that I do is bewildering to other people. How other people think is interesting. It's all a part of the game of life, brother, and we're all along for the ride. :woot:woot:woot:clap:clap:clap:jcapel

Love:

Baylor!!! Drew is the greatest thing to ever happen to Baylor basketball.

Like:

OU- BigTime; Sam; DM; quality of this board; Tisdale; Griffin brothers; etc...
Missouri- Sawyer; enjoyed watching Anderson's teams
A&M- family; Catorano on other boards; team plays hard with good kids
Iowa State- agree with BigTime's sentiments

Neutral:

OSU- like HoHum and the fans I've met; question Pierre's ethics...
KState- like 3Fatty and sys (despite his hatred for Drew)
Tech- apathetic fans; like Pat Knight; think his dad is a miserable human.

Despise:

Kansas- arrogant fans; off court thuggery.
Texas- Barnes is like Bobby Knight; arrogance/entitlement...

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

Their fans are forced to live in Iowa

What in the world is wrong with Iowa? And what in the world, in your view, places Oklahoma above Iowa?

 

[Sooner_In_MI]

BU - Dislike - Sketchy program.
ISU - Like - Enjoyable underdog.
KU - Dislike - Arrogant fans. Plus, it's KU.
KSU - Like - Amazing home crowd.
MU - Dislike - Think too highly of themselves.
OSU - Dislike - Thugs. Plus, it's OSU.
UT - Dislike - Sketchy connection to Findlay Prep. Plus, it's UT.
aTm - Like - Blue-collar team.
TTU - Like - Enjoy the potential BCG redemption story.

The women in Oklahoma blow away the women in Iowa.

 

[skyvue]

The women in Oklahoma blow away the women in Iowa.

Right.

I've been in every state in the Union, save Alaska, and there are great-looking women in every single one of them, take it from me.

Sorry, but the idea that women suddenly are more or less attractive when one crosses an imaginary, arbitrary, invisible line from one state to another is a little silly.

 

[SoonerWarVet]

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).

I live in Kansas. KSU fans are one of the most delusional fan bases among all of college sports. They are obnoxious as well.

 

[Mr.B!!!]

Like:

None.

Dislike:

Probably oSu, not so much because of their fans because I am around them every day, but their administration bugs me because some arrogant "oily" basically bought the entire university [Holder and Hargis are long-term FOB's] with money that he kept and then added to when the university invested more money from the general fund into the same hedge-fund. As a citizen and taxpayer of the State of Oklahoma, I'm just not real comfortable with the way Oklahoma State is being run. I know the Gaylord's, Noble's etc. have quite a bit of influence at OU, but not like TBP has at oSu.

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

What in the world is wrong with Iowa? And what in the world, in your view, places Oklahoma above Iowa?

It's cold, boring, and isolated. Mainly the cold part places it below Oklahoma in my book because many would argue that we have the other two features that I listed above.

Sorry to strike a chord if I did so...
