The Smoking Musket Hate Index: Volume VII

It's that time of the week once again to vote one off the big board and offer up new suggestions for us to hate as a group. What is it that SHOULD NOT be on the board? We want to eliminate one. Who or what will be relegated this week?
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE VOTING:
We want to eliminate the MOST LIKABLE THING from this list (if you could like any of these). 11 consecutive weeks on the board will get an entry into our HALL OF HATE. Therefore, if you hate Pitt worse than anything, DON'T VOTE FOR IT. VOTE FOR THE THING YOU CAN LIVE WITH THE EASIEST/MOST. For example, my hate for the date of "that game" has waned, and I hate the score taunt more. I'm voting for the date to be removed.
Last Editon's Relegation: Game Day Weddings -- I guess some people don't mind missing WVU games to watch two people pledge misery to each other, even though there are 40 other weekends they could have picked
Pitt (7 consecutive weeks) -- OK, 17 is much better than 57, but WTH people?
Tremain Mack (7) -- I still say it was a forward lateral
December 1, 2007 (7) -- Luckily I was in Germany and missed the horror that night
Marvin Graves (7) -- After Cuse's defection, is he still the most hated Orange? At WVU, I think so.
Marcus Vick (5) -- Marcus Vick is on this list, yet older brother Michael isn't
Frank Beamer (2) -- There is mounting evidence that his goiter spawned John Marinatto too
13-9 (1) -- Great, now we have two reminders on our hate list to stare at
This Week's Addition: Game Day Weddings - from our resident curmudgeon, The 25314:
Who are the jackwagons that don’t hate having to go to a wedding at the same time WVU is playing a football game? Are you kidding me? We have only 7 home games a year, only 13 total, and you don’t mind missing one to go see to people ruin their lives and they make off like bandits with like 15 blenders??
Marcus Vick only played WVU ONE TIME. He had a solid game and VT won in a forgettable game. How is he even on the list and Mike isn’t?
So you see, even though it got voted off, a great nomination with 5 recs got it right back on the board (starting over on the consecutive weeks, though). Creative and recommended nominations are what gets your gripe on the big board. Post 'em in the comments below. This past week's events surrounding conferences could spawn a few, in my mind at least. But, this is an area of the Musket where the people decide.

And who are these women that keep voting for Game Day Weddings?! Seeing the Mounties play is way more important than your friggen princess fantasy. Accept it!

Agreed.
Anyone voting for Game Day weddings is clearly controlled by your significant female other.

Both of you are idiots
My wife is more important than WVU football and on the scale of hatred I can think of things much higher than the annoying “gameday wedding”
I may be under control of my significant other, however
I nominate “ESPN sources” because I think their sources are people like me who start drinking PBRs and throw out the wildest crap I can think of based on limited or no knowledge of the really any situation.

you misunderstood...
Some one else’s wedding is less important than seeing a Mounties game. Obviously my wife is more important to me than a game, but my wife loves the Eers and me (and her father strictly forbid it) enough to never schedule our wedding even durring football season. I don’t understand why people would even think of such a thing. Unless they realy don’t want anyone to show up.

It's really...
more about consideration and thinking about your guests. You would never schedule your wedding on a holiday weekend like labor day or memorial day when you know many people have vacation plans, so why would you schedule your wedding (in WV at least) on a day when you know many of your guest would rather be at the game, or watching it on tv?

I will second
the nomination for John “Grimmace” Marinatto. The man obviously only has McDonald’s cheeseburgers on his mind when he can let his conference implode in such a fashion. The BCS bid is in danger, and neither the Army or the Navy can defend it. Pitt and Syracuse aren’t to blame they are assholes, but for different reasons. The inept leadership has lead us down this road of uncertainty, and he sits “roundly” at the top.

I went with Dec.1, 2007 for the second week in a row.
But I can understand the votes for Marcus Vick.
Gameday weddings on the other hand still gall the hell out of me since I have to go to one this year. My neice and goddaughter is getting married at 3:00PM on Homecoming day. I probably wouldn’t be there anyway, but I would be watching with our local alumni chapter. Now, I’m hoping the wedding moves to the reception hall fast enough for me to catch the second half.

Sir,
You need to skip that, or hold your attendance hostage. No self respecting woman gets married during the fall.

Unfortunately, my neice grew up in western Pennsylvania and went to Ohio University....
so she doesn’t know what good college football is, and did not develop the concept of the sanctity of Saturday.

She's just your niece.
It’s not like your bloodline goes through her, or you have grandchildren at stake.

I will be officiating a wedding at that time
in a state park no where near a TV

Again
How in the hell do we keep names like Tremain Mack and Marcus Vick (although he should be in an orange jumpsuit being someone’s bitch at one of our “finest” federal establishments), how in the hell do we not have Michael Vick on this list? What a low rent piece of shit! I have trouble finding an insult that doesn’t fit this dipshit! Yes, his brother, as we can see above, is on this list. But if the lesser Vick convict hits the list, the other hokie trash HAS to be on this list.
I’m never one to like seeing someone get hurt, but it brought a smile to my face to see little Mikey boy spittting blood on the sideline the other night with his concussion. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again-he deserves, at the absolute most, nothing more that a minimum wage job shoveling shit out of stalls somewhere living in a single wide trailer in some broke-ass, low rent neighborhood. Hell, he’d fit right in.
Unnamed Sources
There is only two people who know wtf is going on with conference expansion, and thats AD Ollie Luck and Pres James Clements, and if your source is one of them, they should be fired. That is all.
Also voted for Marcus.
50?!!!!!
Why are so many people voting for game day weddings? I have fallen victim to this travesty before and know how godawful it is to sit there on a hard wooden pew knowing what you are missing. Would you seriously rather sit in a crowded church and hear terrible singing, boaring readings, and look at terrible brides maide dresses instead of going to/watching a Mountaineer football game? Would someone who voted for game day wedding please explain this to me?

I've voted for game day weddings
several times (also Marcus Vick). They are annoying but as someone who believes in priorities I think it’s worth giving up a day of Mountaineer football to celebrate with someone who is making one of the biggest decisions of their life. If you would rather be watching football than spending time with your significant other you probably shouldn’t be getting married in the first place, if you can’t miss a football game to celebrate with your friend they probably aren’t really your friend.
DISCLAIMER: I’m a pastor in real life and I when I do a wedding all that crap that BLP is complaining about doesn’t happen.

Dude. There are 2/3rd of a year these princesses can get married.
For some reason they ALWAYS pick a gameday. That’s just inconsiderate.
And yeah, my girlfriend knows that I won’t go to any social activities with her on an Alabama gameday. That’s because she is going with me to the game.
by Durdens Wrath on Sep 22, 2011 8:48 AM EDT up reply actions
That's the whole point!
If they really are your friend, you feel obligated to be there. I have been there. The whole time you are constantly checking your phone or trying to get a score update. You look like a jerk, you feel like a jerk, and it is all because your Jerk of a friend just HAD to have their wedding on one of the 13, out of 365, days of the year the Mountaineers are playing. Pick a different day!

Easy explanation..
You either go or don’t go to the wedding…if it is a go, you simply utilize DVR.

And that gets a rec
So let me get this straight. If your friend has a wedding on a gameday they are a jerk because they are ruining your day?
How dare they not consult you when making one of the biggest decisions of their lives? I guess you’re right they are really jerks.

Methodology
Most of the time when people see the words “Hate” and “Pitt” in the same sentence, they will simply assume to vote for their most hated. I think the methodology should be changed for next week to “Vote for your most hated, the least-hated thing gets removed from the list.”
Pitt gets enshrined
in the hall of hate, one more thing is added and move to the next week.
Marcus Vick Has Gotta Go...
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,

So hail West Virginia, hail.
I hate the Hate Index.
It’s confusing as hell, and there are just so many hateworthy items on the list that I hate having to pick my least hated. Then, when people vote for things that are obviously hate-worthy, like Game Day Weddings, I hate it that people are ignorant enough to vote for that. How can you hate Game Day Weddings less than Frank Beamer? It’s absurd. Then, I hate having to discuss better ways to word things so that hateful items like Game Day Weddings don’t get mistakenly voted off. Most of all, I hate having to think of something else to nominate as if the items on the list aren’t enough to drive me into a hate-filled drinking coma. Don’t we have enough hate in our lives that we need an entire index to bring it out?

Dayum son
that’s a lot of hate. I voted for Marcus Vick. He’s not worthy of my hate. And Tremain Mack…totally a forward lateral. I was there and it happened right in front of me. Bastard.
Perhaps We Need....
a “Love” Index, too…

I think the votes for Gameday Weddings
Are obviously controlled by their wives, and are not SERIOUS about Football.
This will not do in the SEC.
