Why are some teams easy to root against?

Memphis, UL, Houston for example. Basically, everyone who played in the Metro conference.

I get hating on successful programs like Duke and UNC because of jealousy, but why the hate for smaller less successful schools?

It’s usually the fans. Could be a coach or unlivable player.

 

[Random UK Fan]

I think the bigger schools' fans get a little too loud and proud, so I'm all for the smaller programs, even if its at UKs expense sometimes. Looking at you St. Pete's!

Hating on dead players is so wrong. Come on dude!

Virginia Tech. 1 of 2 P5 schools with zero national championships in any NCAA sport.

The other is Kansas State, who I am now conveniently rooting for in this NCAA tourney.

As a KU fan I would like for KState to remain one of those 2, so I can conveniently use it in any argument with mouthy KState fans. You know how it is, being a Virginia fan.

Yes, arrogant fan bases.

Is there a difference between proud and arrogant?
Some can be proud and talk about it and the lessers will mistake it for arrogance.
Is it a case of haves and have-nots?

Of course there is a difference. The lessers? Yeppers, there is a difference between arrogance and pride.

We own Kansas so they won't play us. Pussys

Somewhere there’s a Georgetown fan who hates Iowa for landing Garza.

I can’t say I really like/dislike “random” programs. Like I don’t like Auburn because of Bruce Pearl, for example, but that’s not random. I don’t like Houston because of Sampson, but that’s not random.

Clemson? Louisville? Washington? Mississippi State? Usually forget about them until their paths cross with Illinois, lol.
