I have no idea. I don't know anything about it. I just click the first server on the list, follow some people around and stare in awe at the pets that look like He-Man's battle cat.

Arkansas Football, it's the players running through the "A", hog hats, it's more than 70,000 fans calling WOO PIG SOOIE. Arkansas football, it's the state of Arkansas banding together behind one team and a mascot like no other. Those select few who put on the jersey are chosen, they wear the colors, they pay the price, and they succeed. They are exceptional, they are Razorbacks. Together we stand as tall as the tower of Old Main. Our memories are etched in stone like names on Senior Walks and our blood flows Razorback Red. For 100 years, we've been Hog Wild and today we continue the tradition. We are Arkansas Razorbacks!

Kentucky, Duke, Tennessee, Misstake, Carolina, Texas, Ole Piss, ok screw it, everybody else.....GO HOGS GO

Can i please add Southern Cal. I hate them in every sport, in basketball because they have O.j. Mayo
I'm a diverse all sports fan... Razorbacks, Lipscomb Bisons (NCAA), Portland Timbers (MLS), Tennessee Titans, Nashville Predators, Barcelona (La Liga), Arsenal (EPL), and Sacramento Kings.

I can't stand Duke.

Kentucky is a close second, but my hatred for KY basketball is one of rivalry.  I want the Razorbacks to whip them. I do, however, enjoy when they have success, as it makes the conference look good.  I root for them in the NCAAT.

Duke, though?  I hope they lose every game by 50.


Foots

1. Memphis
2. UCLA
3. Kentucky
4. Duke
5. North Carolina
6. Every other SEC school not named Arkansas

Duke.

Tennessee is rapidly gaining, however.

Memphis because they are perennial cheaters and their coach is a scumbag.

Duke is second because I and everybody else is sick of them being pushed down people's throats and I love to see Coach K whine when he loses.

Texas because they are Texas.

It would be Tennessee, North Carolina and UCLA at about the same level of disgust next. Followed by Kentucky.

I suppose I could try to hate New Hampshire, VMI, Cleveland State, Georgia State or Chicage State, but I don't think I could sustain my hatred.

One of the primary reasons you hate another team is because they're successful. Maybe we can back to the level we enjoyed in the early and mid nineties and people can hate us.

dignan

You must, I repeat, MUST hate Kentucky with every fiber within your being. This program is more intent on world domination than the trilateral commission and it must be stopped at any and all costs.

So yeah, the wildcats, the Dallas Cowboys and the ATL. Braves all should be despised by any true American.

I really wish Arkansas was in that list.  That would mean we were a national player again.  Funny how winning causes others to hate you.  I wish everyone in the country hated Arkansas!!

Actually most of the time winning causes others to like you. I hate teams who win by *buying* the best players(yankee's to give an example), not by coaching, or team work, but by $.
Yes I know Duke can't buy players but I'm just showing why I hate some teams

Duke because they are all ESPN shows and talks about when they lose it's because they did something wrong and when they win Vitale is all over their nutts.  Also, Duke gets the most calls of any program of all time.
WOO PIG

For the life of me, I have no idea why anyone dislikes Duke.

Really-- ESPN's love isn't their fault; they have no control over that.   They win, they play clean and abide by the rules, they graduate the players that stick around for 4 years, and work around premises of sound fundamental basketball.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Very well put, i feel the same way.

I hate all 4 of the Final Four teams.  UNC has to top the list though.  If we could replace Kansas with Duke then we would have my top 4 most hated programs in the Final Four.  Kansas is not too far down the list though.  I really could care less who wins the national championship this year.

KY no doubt about it, then TN.  I would say i hate TN overall more, but just basketball, it's gotta be KY.

I don't think about Duke that much, except when I think about our NC, which is all fond memories.

It's about more than just the players and the coach.

"Consider the case of (former North Carolina player) Scott Williams. By all accounts, a great person, Williams suffered the worst imaginable tragedy when he lost both his parents in a murder-suicide shooting. Several of the good-natured, creative Dukies responded at the next Duke-UNC game with clever shouts of 'Orphan, Orphan!' as Williams was introduced."

Total class, right?

No, just typical.   Let's not start with some sort of moral superiority that refuses to look in a mirror that somehow only Duke has classless fans.

I would hope that Arkansas fans would never ridicule an opposing player by referencing his dead parents. There are some areas you don't touch.

I know I would never do that. I can look at my ugly mug in a mirror and see that clearly.

OK. How about this?



There you go again, with your ESPN ways.

Duke has *absolutely no control* of how the media choses to portray the program.  None.   Think of them as like Arkansas football--- no matter what the program there does, it's not going to change the way the media choses to sell their story. 

Really, as a Duke hater, I expect a lot more of you.

We've regularly denigrated players for being functionally illiterate, fathering bastard children, etc.   This isn't unique, or particularly damning for anyone involved;  good natured ribbing invariably does cross over into things that are best left out of college athletics-- whether it be from a Duke fan, a Maryland fan proclaiming they want to rape JJ Redick's sister with a sign on TV, or anything else of that ilk.

That picture was meant as a joke to lighten the tone.

However, since you expect more from a "Duke hater" let me say this.

The entire Duke community has a sense of entitlement about everything. I don't care if they're not responsible for the love ESPN and the entire national media show them. They have received it for such a long time now they expect nothing less from the media.

They demand and receive preferential treatment from officials. I can honestly say that I do not want preferential treatment for the Razorbacks. I want a game called fairly. I want to earn a win, not be given one.

Is there no sports program that you feel animosity towards? If so, I capitulate to you, sir, for you are a better man than I.

Entitlement mentality?  You'll have to show some evidence-- really, *any* evidence that distinguishes them from any other school. Nobody goes out and says 'I hope ESPN rips us a new one this year!'-  and really, even the briefest of surveys of the internet and fan message boards shows that everyone believes that ESPN is biased against them, and in favor of whoever their opponent may be (despite the fact you can go to said opponent's message board, and see how blatantly ESPN must hate them, and love the original accusor of bias).

The preferential treatment from officials thing is simply ludicrous.  The ACC regularly reviews its officials for quality, and in the past decade, Duke has higher foul committed rates and lower fouls committed against rates than the average ACC team.   

The premise of hatred of Duke is based around an antipathy towards the successful.   It can be couched in 'they're smug' or 'ESPN never shuts up about them;, but it all boils down to that success.  ESPN wouldn't feature Duke if Duke wasn't relevant to the big picture in college basketball;  in the mid-90s, when Arkansas was a Duke level power, we had our own time as being described as a 'smug, entitlement fan base'.

This is an April Fool's joke, right? You cannot possibly believe the drivel you are writing.

I ask again...Is there no sports program or team that you dislike? If you do have a dislike for a team, please share why.

Truth hurts, Duke-hater?

I do have antipathy for certain teams;  I don't pretend it is rational though-- I understand what I feel is largely an irrational bias, though I do have structural reasoning for the dislike of teams like the Yankees.
