What's your biggest gripe about other teams?

UK fans are blast to talk to. A bit hypocritical when it comes to calipari but other than then that they are fine
It’s fans for me. I used to take all the hatred a bit too serious. Not that I’m absolved of all that I enjoy it all a lot more.
I take more issue with idiot Kansas fans than any other group.
Plenty of good programs/fans/coaching staffs that I enjoy watching, even when competing against Kansas.

My biggest gripe about other teams is that they’re the other team.
That seems rather the point of it all.

Short answer is fans. Fans who have an insular attitude are so lame and impossible to talk to … this can either be (A) assuming everyone has the same respect/admiration for their program that they do, (B) thinking everyone else thinks their local dynamics like instate rivalries or whatever are important to the rest of us or (C) just generally not knowing much about other programs and other states but not being humble about that ignorance.
(C) applies to way too many teams, but an example of (A) and (B) in other sports:
(A) Nebraska football fans are rightfully proud among themselves, but way too many of them assume we outsiders still view them as any different than Iowa or Wisconsin (or worse).
(B) A lot of Yankees or Red Sox fans would just assume that I think of their rivalry as the best in baseball and that I have a special interest in it … but I’m a Cubs fan, and I absolutely do not think it’s the best in baseball nor do I particularly care about it.
If a fan is chill and respects that obviously people from other states love their programs and their rivalries just as much as you do, I can have a beer with a fan of any team.

I'd rather just see the other teams lose, so I can throw some barbs and hope they take it personally.
For me it is the fans base and the level of slime the program sports.
Ahia fans are awful with mid-level slime
Ky fans are god awful with heavy layer of slime
Kan fans? Never met one, heavy layer of slime with Self

Imagine how slimy that makes Indiana, to have won multiple high profile recruiting battles vs Self.
Actually quite the opposite. Academics, campus, program and legit NIL stroke. Some players can have more.
Self is a known cheater. Keep that box the NCAA trophy came in so you have it when you have to ship it back.
Was Romeo Langford getting NIL bucks? You guys were ahead of the curve!
It's funny that people like you think that KU's title is in danger. You're going to be very disappointed. 😆
Pssssst.
NIL did not exist when Romeo chose Indiana. He got a scolarship, room board and books.
Try to keep up.
...oh, and hold on to that box Ace.
True. NIL didn't exist then. That was kinda the point.
Do you actually need someone to explain that you can't strip a title from a team that had zero players under investigation? 🤣
So you knew this and still made a dumb post?
Nobody ever said kan was a good school but holy shit
The irony. 🤣
Sorry that the joke flew over your head, junior. Maybe somebody can draw a picture for you.
Here’s a hint: I wasn’t serious about Indiana being ahead of the curve, or Langford receiving NIL bucks. 😂
Don’t worry about degrees. Focus on your GED first, big guy.
😂
It was clear as day. To anyone who reads at a 4th grade level, that is. Sorry about your disability.
Not everyone has a sense of humor/sarcasm is tough to read.
My grandfather had the sense of humor of a leather belt.

I had to draw you a picture of something that should have been obvious, after multiple hints, and you’re the one shaking your damn head?
100% chance your name is either Cletus or Jim Bob. 😆
IU has a bit of an edge with academics (barely inside top 100 vs. barely outside), but the BEST you can hope for regarding the campus and program is a wash. IU might have a prettier campus itself (highly debatable), but Lawrence is a much cooler college town overall. As for program … not sure you’d find anyone outside of Indiana ranking IU over KU.
Keep in mind….this is the goof who responded to the “Do you consider yourself smarter than the board’s other posters” thread with “substantially.”
Like I said then, the people who brag about being smart are usually among the biggest idiots. Case in point. 😂
You never go full courtsense.
You need to visit the campus. Lawrence is one half step above Champaign Urbana which is second worst in the BIG.
Oh, and…IU is ranked 49 spots above KU. Poor research on your part. 72/121 USNWR

Lets sum this thread up....
Every mutherukin school "cheats".
Every fukin one of them. No was is immune---If you think your school is "clean", you're fukin naive.

Well, if an organization ranked them 49 spots higher, then dammit, they’re 49 spots better!! I don’t even need to know the criteria. You just ended the debate.
Doesn’t matter if KU has a great medical school and education program, or a good law school, or a slew of top-rated grad programs…..all that matters is somebody’s overall ranking!
Best thing about this is that you think OADs like Langford and Mgbako give even half a shit about academics. 😂
I am not the one that brought in academic rankings and then misquoted them. I simply corrected the errors.
Try to keep up
You brought up academics as one of the reasons that Langford and Mgbako chose Indiana. In fact, it was the first thing you listed. 🤣
You sobbed about the rankings and I set things straight for you. I didn’t interject.,,and then screw up the rankings. Your pal did. Talk to him.
Works class academics are indeed one of the many…many reasons all sorts of people choose Indiana.
Try to keep up
Again.....I'm laughing at the fact that you brought up academics as one of the top reasons that Indiana beat KU for a pair of OAD players. Rocket science it aint.
With so many, many reasons to play/coach at Indiana, why have they sucked for decades?
