[PS4814]

1. Alabama
2. ND
3. OSU
4. Michigan
5. FSU
6. Texas
7. Texas A&M
8. PSU
9. Oregon
10. Clemson

"Penn State’s inclusion here is no mystery. The Sandusky scandal rocked the Nittany Lion fan base, and while the program has bounced back in a big way as of late, winning the Big Ten and making multiple big bowls, there hasn’t been a huge shift in the way the program is viewed by the casual fan."

No one likes the guys on top. Would be disappointed if PSU was not listed.

Agreed. I'd say we're in pretty good company.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

We wear the black hat now. Wearing the white hat did us no good when we needed a lift.

Embrace the hate. The more they hate us, the more we are winning. There's no point being a lovable loser.

 

[Lefty Hill]

Seek and ye shall find. Andrew Holleran is another 20-something year old wiener who graduated from Ohio State. And another in a long line of tool bags who digs list journalism.

 

[BobPSU92]

I hate us most.

Thank you.

 

[ForesterGump]

Is this an opinion, or is there some sort of data to support this tripe?

 

[BobPSU92]

Thank you.

Had someone at ohio state just called the police, sandusky might never have happened.

 

[odshowtime]

I like that Texas is so big and so full of hate that both of their premier programs are in the list, and neither are even that good these days.

 

[Lion8286]

Who reads "The Spun"?

Yep. Used to take great pride in things like Joe telling the QB to take a knee at the end of a game even though another TD was essentially a sure thing. Now I say, as long as we're not cheating, go for it. That's why the time out at the end of the GA St. game didn't bother me in the least. I'm not necessarily proud of what I've become but I really couldn't care less what others think.

 

[LurkerLazarus]

If they are going to hate us regardless, we may as well give them more reasons. Screw them all.

 

[LeatherHelmets]

Surprised that USC, Miami and Oklahoma are not on the list.

I'll admit that there is something that I've always hated about Texas (love Austin). Seeing them down for years now has brought me genuine joy.

good point- it's a lousy list, but I kind of like being on it anyway

Had I taken the time to look into this before posting I wouldn't have shared. Just saw it on reddit and figured it would lead to some spirited discussion around here. Will make sure to do further digging in the future.

 

[Nitwit]

How did Pitt get left off the list?

 

[Chickenman Testa]

We need to sing it like Millwall fans

 

[BrucePa]

Notre Dame should be first place by a lot. Insufferable, entitled, arrogant fan base for a program that has been irrelevant for 30 years.

Alabama simply reflects the hidden but obvious belief that the SEC is nothing more than minor league of the NFL. None of those players set foot in a classroom, or write their own papers, or even care about the pretense of being a student. Alabama is the poster child of that model.

It’s the most hated list, not the most irrelevant.

#8 actually feels like an improvement.

We’re hated because of the scandal but MSU doesn’t even make the list...hmmm.

 

[AWS1022]

If more people knew who they were, more people would hate them. It’s like Akron not being on the list.

 

[LafayetteBear]

Cal football tops THAT list.

Here here!! Couldn’t agree more. Being the good guy gets you no points, and probably did us out of a NC or two.

 

[PSU_Chicago]

Love it that we are hated. Let’s get to #1 most hated team. Just win baby!!

 

[j-buff]

We’re better off being hated and feared then loved and shit on. If we keeping wining and recuiting top classes we will probably go up on that list.Which is fine by me.

 

[nittany119]

Surprised that USC, Miami and Oklahoma are not on the list.

That's because Miami and Oklahoma haven't been relevant in quite a while. I bet 20 years ago The U tops the list.

If you think this hatred for us is new or due to the scandal, see 1994. The hate was so strong that the western Pa writers wouldn't even vote for the home state school, therefore handing Neb. the MNC.

Is that a fact? If so, it makes zero sense. There are plenty of yinzers among the PSU alumni population.

If you don't think it's a fact, look it up. I'm talking about the sports writers who voted, not alums.

Notre Dame is actually underrated!!

By 2014 this will all be a distant memory...

Yeah, but the PSU Yinzers didn't have any votes back then. Well established.
