Slate’s compiled a fun little feature for March Madness time. A rundown of eleven teams that they hate, and for various reasons. Of Baylor, Bryan Curtis says this:

Hate is not a word I would use to describe Baylor, the red-brick university conveniently located mere yards from Interstate 35 in Waco, Texas. As any Big 12 alum will tell you, playing the Bears, who hadn’t made the NCAA Tournament in 20 years, inspires a different emotion: fear. Fear of losing to a massively inferior opponent, fear of bowing before the runt of the conference. This season, after Texas A&M dropped a five-overtime game to the Bears, the Aggies were serenaded with chants of “worse than Bay-lor!” by opposing fans. The joke was that such a fate was unimaginable.
