Hurley is not liked by a lot of the fans of other A-10 schools. I would guess the Rhode Island votes came from them and PC fans. Regardless, it is just 7 votes.

The upside to the hate votes is that success on the court typically translates into these votes. I could accept more hate from others under those circumstance.

I'd rather be hated than ignored.
While we may lose the PR share of voice in our own state, nationally we definitely get more pub than PC over the last few years even tho on the court they have performed better. A lot of that has to do with Hurley name being nationally recognized, but it's no doubt an added value to him as our coach.

Everybody outside of New England hates the Patriots. Nobody hates the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a great thing to be hated.

Pats are hated because they've been very good for a long time. No one is hating us due to our success the past 15 years...only thing we have in common is being in New England.

Ok, we're good now. I'll change the team. Is Fordham on that list? I haven't looked, but I'm guessing they're not.

But the depth of our hate makes up for the low numbers.

Do you really think we're hated because we finally made the tournament again? We're hated because Hurley acts like a freaking lunatic on the sideline. Not that it bothers me but lets at least be real about why other teams don't like us.

Completely agree. Whenever Rothstein tweets about Hurley, just read through the replies. Hurley has a loyal following of haters (one UMass fan and one Maryland fan in particular).

Go out and live your lives, sad and random MD and UMass fans! Can you imagine being that negatively obsessed with someone you don't know, who doesn't know you, and who affects your life not at all? My goodness. The mute function on twitter is a gift from the freaking heavens. Some people have hated him because of his name (probably since he was in middle school, tbh), he wasn't as good of a player as his brother (most aren't), the way he coaches (not all that different than lots of other dudes out there), they hate Duke (which makes no sense but don't try logic). I'm not sure it can be emphasized how little thought and caring is given to that. Be accountable to the people who you work for and with, and if you mess up with them, make it right. Dassit.

This poll was not really a poll, just compiled twitter mentions, but my votes for Western Kentucky, Cal, and Oregon were noted. My comment that Oregon is the Baylor football of college basketball was, sadly, not included.

It is comical how this board has become over run with some who have no historical knowledge of URI basketball.

You realize Kansas was almost 20 years ago right? You really think when Kansas fans pick three teams they hate most they're going to include us?

It's comical that someone here thinks that game means so much to Kansas fans that it would put us in their top 3 most hated teams.

Are you saying that a team who has won 2 titles since 1988 isn't going to remember when they were the #1 overall seed with one of their best players ever and got upset but an insignificant team in an insignificant conference?

We're certainly not rivals but I still hold onto really painful losses from a long time ago, there's Rhody games from 10 years ago that make me stifle vomit and those stakes were much smaller.

Kansas has true diehard fans. I'm sure there's a big segment that gag whenever they see a Ram.

I'm not saying they don't remember. I'm just saying I don't think we'd make their top three most hated teams because we pulled off a huge upset.

Since that game they've been beat by 14 seed Bucknell when they were a 3, 13 seed Bradley when they were a 4, 9 seed Northern Iowa when they were a 1 seed, 11 seed VCU when they were a 1 seed, and 10 seed Stanford when they were a 2. Also back in 92 they were a 1 seed and beat by 9 seed UTEP. It's not like Kansas has never been upset in the tournament before.
