Are most people who hate University of Michigan football simply jealous because of its spectacular history?

probably, because we seriously rock.  GO BLUE!  MSU and OSU are the most bitter.  I just finished with college admissions and at MSU there was so much UofM bashing it made MSU look like sorry babies.  I chose UofM, of course!

There are dozens of in-state rivalries like Aub/Bama.  OSU/UM is much bigger.

Undoubtedly, Michigan-Ohio State is the greatest college football rivalry. And today's game just showed us all why.  That was one hard hitting game. Sad to say, my beloved Wolverines lost but the great thing is we get to go at it again next year.

1st of all the loser of OSU and Mich. goes to the Rose Bowl. Not a bad deal for the loser. Of course, we (Buckeye's) want the National Title. OSU is No#1 they will stay #1, Smith will Win the Heisman. OSU has the largest Student Class. Over 60,000. They are #1 in this catagory rated in 2006. People Should join the Band wagon. It's a great school, in a great city, with great team, who has a great coach, and is backed by the Best Damn Band in the Land!  Tressel will be worshiped like Woody my friend.

I am a HUGH Duke fan! They are the best program in college basketball over the last 20 years! People hate Duke for the same reason they hate the Yankees,Notre Dame football,Lakers,Canadians and Cowboys....if you don't cheer for a winner then chances are you hate them!

Man, I don't know..I'd hate to think that..being from MI and all.\nThey sure have shot their mouths off about winning, and it's coming back to bite them.

Does this help?\nhttp://www.mhoops.com/p-gallery/wolverines/fabfive/fabfive.shtml\n\nPS- Is U of M really the right college to be a fan of?  You should defenitaly try Michigan State

The field was crap that's why some of Michigan's WRs had trouble planting their feet and staying balanced...OSU plays on that field and prctices on that field so Im not dissappointed at the way Michigan played, I still belive Michigan is the best!\n\nTroy Smith is the next Andre Ware...

Come on, you and I both know it's Man Utd. and will always be. People hate them due to jealousy at their fan base that extends worldwide and that they have bagloads of dough. Plus always being on TV and all the history and hype.

Well, I dislike them just because for some reason, they are always ranked really high in college sports, such as their football team this past year, but they just continue to suck, yet the pre-season rankings have them always being great, but they're not.

I'm really a fan of neither, but have rooted for Michigan in the past. They have an awesome stadium, fans, and fight song. They are usually a pretty good team, although they did go down to my Longhorns two seasons ago in that awesome Rose Bowl game. \n\nMichigan State, how can anyone root for a team with those ugly green uniforms and a big boring S on their helmet. When's the last time this team did anything of any significance?

The Sooners are unreliable. One moment you are rooting for them, the next moment you are embarassed about how bad they are playing.\n\nI am not a big fan of OU in general, though (and I am an Okie).

Foy V Sportsmanship Trophy\nThis college football rivalry is number one as the fire, passion and hate between the two schools is unlike any other. This game literally stops a state. The teams didn't play from 1907 to 1948 because after the 1907 game, they couldn’t decide which referees to use.

I don't think that a bias necessarily exists within the media, but among fans I believe there sure are a lot of Cowboys haters.  There are several reasons for this.  For one, there is a little bit of jealousy for "America's Team".  These feelings are still carrying over from their dynasty in the 90's (and even the 70s).  Also, the organization has had many abrasive characters:  owner Jerry Jones, the Tuna, ex-stars such as Michael Irvin, and the myriad of criminals and druggies they've paraded through in the last 10/15 years.  As with any great sports organization, fans are very polarized... you either love 'em or hate 'em.  I love 'em, but conversely I despise great competing teams such as the Steelers and 49ers.  Some in the media may have their beef with Jerry Jones or other people in the organization, but I think the strong anti-Dallas emotion is mainly among the fans (which is a tribute to the Cowboys being one of the top teams in the sport).

Right now, it's jealousy.  Yes, some people do actually hate other people because they differ on opionions.
