I hate Big Ten fans...

[ErickJD08]

Literally the conversation...

Me:  Did you check out the game last night?
Illini Fan: Yeah.  Big win.  I always knew Miami wasn't really that good.
Me:  They are pretty good.
Illini Fan:  Not really.
Me:  So winning the ACC doesn't mean anything?
Illini Fan:  It just comes to show you how bad the ACC was this year.  Syracuse is a really good team though.
Me:  I know.  We beat that in regular season so I hope we can pull it out again.
Illini Fan: Well, Syracuse was playing so bad back then.  Now they are playing really well.

I hope every Big Ten team loses.  They are such idiots.  D Bags never give credit where credit is due.

Illini fans can talk themselves into anything. I am sure I will have a conversation similar to what you had in the near future with a stupid Illini fan.

[warriorchick]

You know what I hate even more?  

This conversation, which I have had more than I care to admit:

Me:  So, where did you go to school?
Other person:  Marquette.
Me:  So did I!  Hey, how about that basketball team?
Other person:  Oh, I haven't been paying attention to them.  Are they any good this year?

Illini Fan:  Not really.

Didn't Miami just beat Illinois?

Sorry for the sexism but "Other person" is a female (ie. is into guys)

In most cases, yes, but not always, and that is not a legitimate excuse.

[Mr. Nielsen]

That's just one guy.

[Farley36]

I agree.  Conversation with a Minnesota alum:

Me:  Good call on Miami over Marquette

Goldy: Well enjoy it before we steal your coach

Me:  Why would Buzz leave Marquette for a worse program?

Goldy:  Hahaha!  Tubby made $2 million last year.  Marquette can't pay that.

Me:  Buzz made $2.8

Goldy:  Well everyone wants to coach in the Big 10.

Me:  Not Shaka Smart

Goldy:  You're a private school elitist.

Actual conversation with a Big Teen (UM football season ticket holder)  fan.
"I have Syracuse beating IU."
"No way, the Big 10 is going to kill the Big East"
"Nope.   Crean couldn't beat Boeheim when we was at Marquette and I don't think he can now"
"Crean coached at Marquette?"

[ChicosBailBonds]

Big Ten fans hate Big East fans
Big East fans hate Big Ten fans
ACC fans hate Big Ten fans
ACC fans hate Big East Fans
Big Ten fans hate SEC

IU fan after MU win:  good game, real game starts at 9
me:  Screw tom crean, we want to beat him an his hoosiers if they can squeek by tonight
IU fan: you may get your wish and regret it.
me: cant wait.
IU fan:  we will coast to final 4...

2 hours later:

me:  boy oh boy.  The cuse didn't even win the big east.  Crean is a terrible in game coach.  Maybe we can play next year.

no response.

What is the ETC conference? Who do they hate?

It the new name for the old Big East schools.

Pretty much had the same conversation with another Minnesota fan.  He listed Buzz as their #3 target, and I told him there was no way Buzz would take a step down to Minnesota.  He was convinced that Minn is a better job than MU.  I told him all the important points--Buzz's salary is higher, better facilities, 2nd highest expenditure on hoops in the country.  Still believed that because it was in Big Ten, that made it a better job.   ugh.

The love they are showing us on the IU boards is another reason to hate the B1G (these are posts on an IU thread started by a Syracuse fan after the game just telling them tough loss and that IU had a great year):

IU Fan Responding to 'cuse poster: "For the love of God, Don't come out next game like Miami did tonight!  That would just flat out piss me off!"

2nd IU Fan: "Cuse is going to dismantle Marquette. They actually played earlier in the year when Cuse was on their losing streak. It took some questionable officiating, a player who had never played in the big east hitting a bunch of threes, Gordon going off for 26 points (career high), and 45 free throws (yes for real) for Marquette to beat Cuse by a couple of points.

You should stop by the Marquette board - they're shitting their pants. They wanted Indiana instead. It's going to get bad.

After that, I have no idea how they will do in the final four."

[Aughnanure]

Awesome. Thanks.

Did "2nd IU fan" go to high school with Ferris Bueller?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Thank you.  I'll be sharing this with a few UW-madison employees here.

ETC= Excess team conference. 

[brewcity77]

Someone asked me who I thought was the best conference yesterday. I said at the top, it's the Big Ten, but overall it was the Big East. I was told I was a Big East homer and that Illinois or Minnesota would beat anyone in the Big East except for Louisville and maybe Marquette.

And I'm a homer for my league?

[klyrish]

This thread is seriously cracking me up.

[Marquette_g]

Bump because the big ten fans are annoying

[AZWarrior]

That was mean.

But very appropriate.  

Y'know, I'd love to put this up in my garage.
