The Smoking Musket Hate Index: Volume XIX

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!!
