So, who do you despise more…

Often, lately, it comes down to the coach for me. Unless it is long term hate (Mich, ILL), or if there is just one insufferable player, I root against the coach. Therefore, since Franklin is worse than Freeman, Go Irish. Other examples are Brian Kelly, flim-flam Fleck and Kiffin. Can't stand them

Tough to dislike Freeman.
 
This is really a shot or poisoned situation. If I just use my sports lizard brain, it’s Notre Dame. They’re distasteful and gross across a bunch of dimensions and have been an irritation for NU in recent years.

If I engage my brain I remember PSU’s fan base went apeshit when Joe Paterno was fired and they have a child rape cover up artist statue in campus.

So there’s all that.

Looking at the CFP and trying to decide who to route for has really been tough. The coach from Oregon seemed like a decent guy...would like to have seen ASU beat Texas.....Now??? I cant believe I am saying this but Ryan Day seems like a sympathetic(?) figure I could get behind.....ND too good for everybody, always...James Franklin? guessing he spends minimum 3 hours admiring himself in a mirror while he listens to tapes of past press conferences. Dont know much about Sarkasian but the state of Texas seems a little whacked and suffering from ND syndrome...come to think of it that last person of power I liked was my grand sons kindergarten teacher and even she made those kids keep the crayons neat in the box...was cute though....Must be something in here about competition, power and the climb to the top.
 
Notre Shame for sure. I hate them almost as much as I hate the Bucks. As a Catholic I hate that they try to claim an entire religious base. I hate their pompous nature.

Penn State, I have no hate for. I don’t think JoePa knew what was going on. He was from a different era where such behavior was incomprehensible, and when he realized what happened, it probably killed him. I also don’t think it’s fair to for us to get in our high horse about PSU and Sandusky when we are so ready to sweep the car washes under the rug in our own house. I’m not saying they are equivalent, but what happened at NU was a culture problem involving rituals that if not nearly as heinous, were still sick and twisted, while what happened at PSU was more isolated to the criminal actions of a sick and twisted individual pedo.

Not interested in rehashing the whole Penn State fiasco, but I feel you are trying to sweep an awful lot under that rug there.
