So wasn’t sure where to put this, but Robert had a post explaining why he doesn’t root for other BIG teams in bowl games out of conference solidarity/rising tide lifts all boats etc. And it got me thinking about how I root way more for the BIG in the NCAA tournament vs bowls and it made me realize I like or respect most BIG basketball coaches but I don’t really like/actively dislike most other BIG football coaches.
BB coaches I hate/dislike: Juwan, Fran, Izzo
BB coaches I really like: Painter, Pickell, Shrewsberry, Gard
BB coaches I’m indifferent to/too early to tell: Willard, Minnesota coach, Woodson (leaning towards dislike but think that’s mainly about IU)
Everyone else I at least respect.
Football, I sort of liked Paul Chryst before he was fired? Otherwise I dislike just about everyone else. Maybe respect Ferentz but I still don’t like him.
