Personally, I Absolutely Abhor Those Damn Mastodons!
Just in case fans are feeling as if things can't get any worse ... there's this: Inexplicably, the Utes supposedly rank among the most hated teams in the country, in a far from scientific (yet totally amusing) poll at CBSSports.com.

"Here goes with the bottom 10 schools who've received less votes but been hated just as much (often more so) percentage-wise. In fact the bottom six teams on this list were the most hated college basketball teams on earth.

10. Youngstown State Penguins
9. IPFW Mastodons
8. Yale Bulldogs
7. Akron Zips
6. New Jersey Tech Highlanders
5. Utah Utes
4. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
3. Canisius Golden Griffins
2. Harvard Crimson
1. Princeton Tigers"

Go figure, eh?

Evidently, it's all part of some NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge involving facebook over at CBSSports.com ... though I must immediately question the credibility of a site that will post a photo comparing Duke's Mike Krzyzewski to "The Count" from Sesame Street, when we all know Air Force's Jeff Reynolds is The Count's real long-lost twin ...

From what I've heard from and about other MWC fans (i.e. Wyoming, New Mexico) the Team Down South is the most hated school around here. The New York Yankees-type arrogance mixed with self-righteousness is a lethal combination.
