I love it. In the 12 years of the MWC we have a winning record against every last one of them and more titles. UNLV: 6 in a row, 9/10 UNM: 3 in a row, 10/13 And those schools only care about basketball. Not only are haters gonna hate, losers gonna whine. If we can pull out a win, UNLV and UNM are going to straight up lose it and I'll be there to troll the F out of them. AztecsWhatsUp Yep. The MW board and this board were full of $#!+ talking UNLV fans before the game and we gave them just a taste of it back and we're the aholes?  If our guys can pull it out tonight I think the MW board might explode. The MWC board went to $#!+. It's turned into a bunch of "injured" fans spewing a ton of hate, mostly at SDSU and its fans. Wyoming and UNLV fans in particular have lead the charge. I don't even bother with that board anymore. Actually, when I'm not checking out Aztecmesa I'm over on the Big East Board. Haters gonna hate... "Give 'em Hell State!" |

If our guys can pull it out tonight I think the MW board might explode. Actually most of the $#!+ talking threads I saw were started by Aztec fans. Monty's thread just reeks of class, nobody's jealous of your success and most MWC fans were always pulling for you guys last year and early on this year. It wasn't until the arrogance and elitist mentality started and disrespect towards anything not SDSU. You guys are hated for your fans, not your school or sports teams |

If you're going to talk trash before a game, you better own it and keep your mouth shut when you lose. |

You guys are hated for your fans, not your school or sports teams Well, I'm pretty much hated over there by every Wyoming fan yet I didn't involve myself in monty's thread at all. I'm hated by Cowboys simply because I've said I didn't think SDSU was ever a good fit for a conference dominated by schools at altitude. I've been saying that for the five or so years I've been on that board but nobody much cared until SDSU got really good, so what does that tell you? As Andre said here and I said over there, I've come to really respect CSU and AFA fans since although they're understandably disappointed that SDSU is leaving, they aren't in perpetual butthurt mode about it. You don't say who you root for but considering you took the time to register and post here, I'm sure it's not CSU or AFA. |

I'm a UNLV fan, I thought I mentioned that in previous threads. I personally have no issue with you guys bolting the MWC. If that's what your administration felt was the best for your school, then more power to you. You're right, before SDSU was any good nobody cared, but when you became good your fan base changed.

If was a UNLV or UNM fan, I'd be jealous also. It can't be easy watching a school, once pathetically irrelevant, suddenly get national attention. If I were a little bitch, I'd probably mouth off about it.
Subsequently, jealous bitches will be bitches.

Isn't it far more likely that fanbases are generally the same for every school (except BYU of course  ) and we just don't like them when they're beating us or leaving us? UNLV fans didn't come here and talk about 1990 when SDSU wasn't making a habit of beating them. Nobody would have cared if we had left the conference in 2008. The vitriol comes from jealousy (and I'm not saying that condescendingly, I do it about UCONN or UNC or Duke all the time). Yes, nowadays more SDSU fans are talking smack...they have more smack to talk! Everyone likes Wyoming fans because they don't have anything to say and are just generally more affable than the rest of us. If Wyoming started owning UNLV at basketball, UNLV fans would be all over Wyoming boards talking about 1990. |

Not necessarily, TCU has been beating up on MWC football teams for a few years now, but their hasn't been much anger directed towards them because they have always had a good fan base.

They all obviously received a good education too FWTW. It occurs to me that the hate is also related to the perception that Sterk lobbied hard to get SDSU into the Big 12 and then the BE whereas UNLV's AD did no such thing and then after it was announced Boise and SDSU were leaving, he said UNLV would never separate its football team from its other sports programs. As if that was some kind of loyalty oath to the MWC rather than an implicit admission that considering the quality of UNLV football, the issue would never arise anyway. |

The MWC board went to $#!+. It's turned into a bunch of "injured" fans spewing a ton of hate, mostly at SDSU and its fans. Wyoming and UNLV fans in particular have lead the charge.

UNLV fans were brutal before that game, so Aztecs spoon-feed a little crow after all that $#!+ talking and we are classless and arrogant? Poor UNLV fans  |

Folks are angry at sdsu IMO because of two things: 1. We are finishing the breakup of a really good basketball conference. 2. We have not traditionally been good in football or basketball, and now we get invited to the big boys table. Many MWC fans think we haven't earned it. |

As to #1 - The MWC will be a very good basketball conference after we leave. As to #2 - Maybe, but sometimes timing (and location) is everything. |

We have not traditionally been good in football or basketball, and now we get invited to the big boys table. Many MWC fans think we haven't earned it. As a Lobo fan I think this is a lot of it. Add in the holier-than-thou attitude of many web trolls (obviously not representative) and you have some resentment stirring. But mostly its number 1 above. In bball the MWC with SDSU would only get better and the rivalries are only getting good now. Personally I loved watching you guys last year in the tourney. I was cheering you on all the way. But honestly this year I wouldn't care how you get on in the tourney. Not because your players are this or your fan base is that. But because you are bailing. And I know you have very rational reasons for going but it doesn't help that many (but by no means all) fans are now saying the MWC is not all that in basketball. We are almost the 4th best conference in the country! So that attitude is just pig headed. And the MWC will still be a good bball conference (assuming it maintains the name) when you are gone. Not as good, for sure. But very good still. So people also don't like some of the bird flipping that is happening on the way out the door. It is certainly a two way bird flip though  But if you think of it from a, say UNLV or UNM perspective, we get 2 less quality, rivalry-based games a year soon. Given the choice we would rather you stayed, so yeah people are pissed. Not necessarily because you are just soooo successful (like I said, I and all my UNM friends were cheering FOR your success last year), like some seem to suggest. I would love to have multiple top 25 teams in the MWC every year. People are pissed because it felt like we were building something potentially great. All I would say is don't burn too many bridges because the situation in college sports changes from month to month. I still think a twist or two is yet to come, though I have no idea who will end up in the better situation. Not trying to say what's right or wrong, just a POV. |

If that's what your administration felt was the best for your school, then more power to you. You're right, before SDSU was any good nobody cared, but when you became good your fan base changed. The majority of the fan base that was around prior to the recent success of basketball and football hasn't changed. A few have. Most haven't. Monty and K5James, as much as I like their support of Aztecs sports, do not represent the majority of the fan base. That Fabio character, well let's just say I doubt that guy is even an Aztec fan. Every school's fan base has it's share of these kind of personalities. Many are much worse. In our case, we have some very vocal supporters, and they have suffered the put downs of our conference brothers for so long that they just will not put up with that crap now that we are winning. They challenge everything thrown at the Aztecs and their fans. For many years people would say what ever they wanted about the Aztecs and our fan base. Almost no one ever bothered to stand up to it and challenge. Now there is K5 and Monty to rip those offenders a new one. I don't always agree with the force of the retorts, but it is about time people were held accountable in some fashion for the things they say. Laziness, ignorance, and bias are not acceptable excuses. |
