VOTE FOR WHAT YOU HATE MOST!!!
After a break of hate for the holidays, the Hate Index returns. The Lunatic, err...Meatball is in the Hall. To pretty much no ones surprise, the commissioner of the Big East conference has been elected into the Hall of Hate (See the full Hall HERE). As such, we have two new entrants to the list this week. We need your input for nominations!!!
Last Edition's Relegation: Tim Higgins
- Notre Dame (8)
- Virginia Tech (3)
- Mark May (2)
This Week's Additions:
Sean McDonough - the Syracuse alum rode his daddy's coattails into his broadcasting career and is known for taking shots at our AD because he insulted the Syracuse football product of late.
ESPN - the worldwide leader offers up the best selection and usually quality of coverage of live sporting events, but when it comes to reporting (especially investigative), they often are at odds with huge conflicts of interest (read: money generating ratings) and forcing us fans to listen to whatever warm bodies they can find to cover many events (read: Craig James, Jesse Palmer, Pam Ward, Bob Davie, etc).
Methodology:
The lowest vote total gets relegated/eliminated from the big board below. Lasting 11 weeks in a row gets the entry enshrined into the Hall of Hate. It is your votes and nominations that count. Please vote and post your nominations in the comments section (if a previous nomination of yours didn't get picked up, try again). Creative and recommended nominations are more likely to be posted on the board. Make your nominations known below!!

I voted for ESPN, but I love ESPNRadio.
I have absolutely zero hatred for the other 4 candidates.
Notre Dame and VIrginia Tech?? We haven’t played either of those schools in a long time in football. I just don’t get the hatred.
Sean McDonough—He must’ve done something because he’s excellent play-by-play and is Tony Caridi’s former college roommate….always gives props to WVU hoops seemingly
Mark May-I get this because he’s pretty much awful as an analyst, talks wayyyyy to fast and he went to PITT.
This hate poll goes to show you how great it’s going to be playing in a different conference. We don’t hate any current conference members because, quite frankly, every single one of them are irrelevant (in football anyway).
Too easy: Brad Nessler
After revoking the statehood of West Virginia, he’s a shoo-in for next week’s Hate Index. If you’re wondering, Nessler got his keen geographic sense from the bastion of learning that is Minnesota State University at Mankato.
Being western Virginia
Apparently, we failed miserably in our 1863 attempt to stay in the union. Our Virginian overlords will never let us out. It must have been confusing for our forefathers fighting in the Civil War, never being quite sure who to shoot at. Thanks to Brad Nessler and a host of other idiots throughout my life, both of the public and not-so-public variety, I now know I must file a Virginia State Tax Return this year. It could have been bad if I hadn’t realized this in time. This "also explains my patriotic urge to have dogwood trees around my home, my disdain for those “damn yankees”, and my unhealthy love of the color orange. Also, I’ve been meaning to ask, is Jefferson Davis still our president?
I can understand if you think Pluto is a planet, or if you believe South Sudan is the opposite of northern Sudan, because that shit JUST HAPPENED! It’s not like the people in Charleston just last week said, “Hey Jim, you should call the schoolbook makin’ folk an’ tell’em we’s a real true to life state now, that gov’na in Richmond can suck it!”
Example: I was visiting a friend in Missouri, having some drinks with a few of her classmates (this was at a total smart-kid school) when one of her friends begins to tell me how he was in my area last summer. I said “really, where did you visit?” The response, predictably, was “Virginia Beach”……..“Ok” I said, “you’re thinking of Virginia, and the beach is about 6 hours from my home in West Virginia.” He says, without hesitation, “wow, I didn’t realize Virginia was that big!” This guy will soon be making 6 figures as a geologist for an oil company. And he can name ALL 49 states, too!
So in conclusion, we fought for the south, George Washington lived just down the road, Blacksburg is just a couple minutes from Morgantown, and I’m headed to the beach on my lunchbreak. Sic Semper Tyrannis my Cavalier and Hokie neighbors!
