VOTE FOR WHAT YOU HATE MOST!!!

With last week's contest being the final game in the series for the foreseeable future, and no nominations made, we decided that ending the Backyard Brawl series is definitely worth hating. Nominations for next edition's addition are now open.

This Week's Additions:

Backyard Brawl Series ending - As much as we hate Pitt, thinking about not having them to hate several times a year is almost tragic

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!!

How appropriate. Just before WVU faces off with Notre Dame on the hardwood, we have a new entrant into the Hall of Hate. Despite struggling on the field, they had no problems garnering the hate of the By-Godders. Can the Hokies last? History of this poll tends to think so. Nominations for next edition's addition are now open. Those previously elected to the Hall of Hate can be viewed HERE.

ACC - I refer you to the CIRCLE OF SUCK

Louisville - There's some residual ire over their whining about WVU and the Big 12, apparently

We have another entrant on the cusp of the Hall of Hate. Yes, the golden domers only need to survive one more week for immortality. Get creative and help us nominate something new for the board. We need your input for nominations!!!

Another week, another idiot broadcaster. We replace one with another. Who should we add this week? Big East refs? Another broadcaster? National Champs who didn't win their league? We need your input for nominations!!!

This Week's Additions:

Brad Nessler - Mr. Nessler is usually on his game during a broadcast, and he generally excels at his play-by-play duties. As most of you know by now, Brad earned the ire of an entire state during the Sugar Bowl broadcast last week.

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

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).

Now that we're getting into hoops season, will there be more nominations along those lines? Certain referees come to mind, as well as a few teams and coaches. One more week and Meatball gets of Hall of Hate admission.
