HOW I STOPPED WORRYING AND LEARNED TO SOAK UP THE HATE

As human beings, we can sometimes have an almost pathological need to be liked. We don’t necessarily want to like everyone else but we mostly want them to like us.

It’s no fun to be disliked.

And yet…you, the Ohio State fan, are disliked right now. You are hated by people you’ve never met and people you never will meet. All of us are. This is the price of following a successful sports team that just won a national championship.

Maybe I'm just weird (I am), but I don't really like another team UNTIL they beat us. I used to hate Ohio State, but after they beat Bama, I was forced to respect them and their players. Once I respect a team, I have a hard time rooting against them.

This was the most well earned college football championship of all time. Enjoy it.

I'm assuming there's at least one team that rule doesn't apply to for you?

Yes. I'm a Duke basketball fan (my dad went there and I grew up watching them). So, that team is UNC.

That was the answer you were looking for, right?


Yes. Fuck Duke with a hot poker.

Oh wait, I misread your post.

No offense to your father. You complete a Duke education and the world is at your feet. Fuck Duke. LOL. Its only 'sports hate' not real hate. Important to remember and understand...

Lol. I was thinking Auburn.
I figured you were. I root for Auburn unless they are playing Bama. Ideally, I would like the Iron Bowl to be a battle between two undefeated teams every year. It's what I used to have to rely on to get a "playoff feel" for college football. That's why I say last year's championship is the most well earned of all time. No other team had to go through a playoff.
