I have looked forward to today for a long time and I hate both South Carolina and NC State.  I really couldn’t care less who wins this game.  It’s the mere principal of it because it signifies the start of football season.  It gets even better for me this weekend.  I live in utah and I’ll get to watch Utah/Michigan, Byu/Crappy team and then Illinois/Missouri all on Saturday.  My wife is going to hate me but what am I supposed to do?  People are overlooking the Illinois game because it’s opening week but these teams are rivals and both in the top 20 in the country and they played a great game last year.  Both teams are better now and it will be a lot of fun.  Man, i hope BYU loses.  That just brings me strange joy for some reason.  In fact, here’s my list of my least favorite teams and to be considered on this list I have to get joy from that team losing as i do when one of my favorites actually wins.

5.  Duke Blue Devils-I hate them.  I love when they lose a basketball game so much.  When they get knocked out of the tournament I consider that a successful tournament.

4.  Dallas Cowboys-  I hate them.  I hated them growing up and I still hate them now.  Piece of crap Emmitt Smith breaking Payton’s record.  That still upsets me.

3.  New York Yankees-  I hate them.  They’ve made the playoffs my entire married life and Derek Jeter gets so much press it kills me.  If Jeter was a kansas City Royal nobody would know he existed and he’d only have 25 career homers because it’s more than 300 feet to the right field corner at Royals stadium.

2.  MIchigan Wolverines Basketball-  Oh man. In 1989 they beat Illinois in the final 4 and i haven’t forgiven them.  It’s harder and harder to hate them since they have sucked for 10 years but i still hate Rumeal Robinson, Glen Rice and especially Sean Higgins.

1.  BYU-  I hope the lose every football game they ever play.  I respect the university and all that it stands for but I honestly get so much joy when they lose i run around the house yelling like an idiot.  My wife hates it but I’m so excited that I can’t stop.

Sorry to go off there but I really hope Byu loses.  Either way, i’m excited to watch the game tonight and build up more excitement for the weekend.
