Ohio State: A Team America Loves to Hate

The Daily List at SI.com recently had a post up called "Five Sports Franchises We Love to Hate."

And the nominees were...

1. Any Major Team from Boston -- Must say, with Tom Brady on the Pats, I don't feel this way. But with the Celts, Pats and Red Sox all doing so well, I can understand why other sports fans would.

2. The New York Yankees -- Steinbrenner and his Pinstriped Posse are a given on any list like this.

3. Los Angeles Lakers -- Couldn't agree more, especially with all their Hollywood pseudo-fans who always seem to be in the stands not to cheer but to be seen at the scene.

5. Chelsea -- Soccer. I don't have strong feelings about any sport where 2-0 is considered an offensive explosion.

But the reason his post is up on the MZone of course is because of the team they listed at #4:

THE Ohio State University -- The SI.com story included the following explanation as to why the Bucks made the list: "Buckeye fans have had the legs for their argument for dominance knocked out from under them lately, what with the way they keep losing in championship games. But you'd never know State can't win the big one by listening to them Buckeyes. (By the way, we get it: You're THE Ohio State University. Nice sweater vests."

Uh...what they said.
