>>If Scheyer keeps winning big you'll eventually hate him too. Success breeds contempt/hate.<<
That's the retort Puke (and UNC) fans like to use to try and explain the hatred people have for their programs. In reality, I believe, the hatred comes from the attitude those two programs project, both when they are winning and when they're not. It's the arrogance, self-righteousness, entitlement, taunting, holier-than-thou, "how dare the refs call a foul on us" crap they direct at everyone else that breeds the resentment and hatred. And usually it's the head coach who epitomizes those attitudes, and the players and fan base who perpetuate them.
