10 Most Hated Nouns in the SEC

Dishonorable mention: Lane Kiffin - Maybe so a couple years ago but that is passing now. He was only at Tennessee for one year, not long enough to leave any scars.

10. Cowbells - Cowbells are now 'legal', as long as they are rung at appropriate times during football games at Davis Wade Stadium. As long as State was a doormat, these were fine...but when State is winning as they are now they are a hated nuisance to the rest of the league.

9. Mike Slive - Some people enjoy Mike Slive, I don't. He is one of the most powerful men in college sports, but I think he is a weasel.

8. Harvey Updike, Jr. - This is more from the state of Alabama, but that is the heart of the SEC. And really, nobody likes this guy except for the Bama fan's at Sam's Biker Grill in Reform, AL.

7. Houston Nutt - He cheats, oversigns, wines, cheats, is annoying, cheats, etc.

6. Bobby Lowder - He's losing power at Auburn but he is the name associated with the board of trustees at Auburn who everyone is suspicious of.

5. Steve Spurrier - Folks love to hate Spurrier. It was really bad when he was at Florida, but he hasn't been winning in about 10 years so he's toned it down. He's starting to make a little more noise now that South Carolina is good.

4. Charles Robinson (Yahoo Sports Writer) - He breaks all kinds of stories about cheating in college football. He seems to have a special knack for it against the SEC.

3. Paul Finebaum - His weekday radio show attracts plenty of winners to call in. He stirs the pot more than anyone in the SEC.

2. LSU Fans - The Cajuns in and around Death Valley are nuts. They swarm the opposing teams bus and try to tip it over, throw beer, spit or gumbo, they drink all day and are some of the craziest people in America.

1. Alabama - We know Auburn really hates them. Mississippi State hates them, Tennessee hates them, LSU has developed an even fiercer rivalry with them in recent years. Florida meets them in the SEC Championship about half the time. Even Spurrier has gone to Mike Slive and complained publicly about the attention they get from ESPN. They've got a lot of rivals throughout the SEC, but the big dog always does.
