Who Is Your Most Hated anti-UCLA Villain?

PrintWe play *$c tonight, so naturally I'm thinking about Eric Affholter.
If there is a number one all-time anti-U.C.L.A. villain for me, it's him. I've hated that guy since he carried on the legendary $c tradition of scoring touchdowns that weren't really touchdowns, most notably when he juggled a ball about 8 feet out of the end zone against the Bruins in 1987, yet was somehow awarded a touchdown to seal a 17-13 trogan win and rip the '88 Rose Bowl from us.
Well, maybe it was closer than 8 feet out of bounds, but not much. The trogies are lucky there were no red flags and coaches' challenges in those days. Especially considering he stepped out of bounds on the sideline on a touchdown run against us the very next season and stole the Rose Bowl from us again. Affholter?! Twice?! Pure hate!
Some might say it is irrational for me to hate someone I never met. I guess it's possible that Affholter is the greatest guy ever, but I doubt it. The similarity between his last name and a certain orifice at the end of the rectum is surely no coincidence. And I'm sure I'll get over it in another lifetime or two, so it's not like I'm completely obsessed. But not yet. That agony hasn't faded. Just a year ago, my friend Todd (who is both a Trojan alum and and attorney, but is still somehow a really good guy) gloated over how Affholter still caused me so much pain after 20+ years.
Okay. Maybe three lifetimes.
Anyway, I was inspired to write this by a comment that Cade McAdverb put up the other day when discussing our Final Four runs vs Florida several years ago
and then when you’d finally, maniacally played enough defense to hold them for 30 seconds on a possession, that little dead-eye f***er Humphrey would drop a three-pointer on you.
I don't know Lee Humphrey personally either but I'm pretty sure Cade actually underestimated him. That guy probably works for the devil and may in fact be his nephew.
So I wondered who else out there holds that special place of eternal hate in Bruins hearts?
My runners up include Fennis Dembo, who scored 41 and single handedly shot Reggie Miller and U.C.L.A. out of the 1987 NCAA tournament. Hate him. Don't know him, but still hate him. He may be out helping old ladies cross the street but I assume it's more likely he's stealing purses from them. A dishonorable mention for me, since it wasn't against our Bruins, goes to Christian Laettner. I saw him rip out the hearts of KY fans (and who, besides $c fans, deserves it more?) with that miracle turnaround catch and shot, and as I watched his celebration dance down the floor, the rush an all-time buzzer beater was replaced by mild repulsion. When he was somehow named to the Dream Team, it fostered a lifetime of hate not just for himself but for his entire school. Laettner may be a great guy, but I doubt it, and I'm know he's why I hate Duke and think Coach K looks like a rat.
Well those are 3 of mine. Who are your most hated anti-U.C.L.A. villains and why?

I hate 'em all
but I really hope Matt Barkley has a special place in hell waiting for him. That smug, arrogant, shit-eating grin perfectly represents your typical Trojan. I look forward to Ellis McCarthy (hopefully) planting Matt’s pompous mug deep into the Rose Bowl turf.
"special place in hell"?
it’s just football fellas… relax with the over the line comments. The ability to treat your opponent, even those hated opponents, with respect is a reflection of your own class. Think Coach Wooden would’ve been saying these kinds of things.
you are right
but a special exception needs to be made for those who do no treat us with class. Barkley and Marinovich are two examples, and I somewhat excuse Marinovich because his father was a little nuts. It’s in jest, anyway. Barkley’s place in hell will likely be on the bench of irrelevance in the NFL…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Is there supposed to be a question mark there?
We weren’t asked what John Wooden would say.
Do you guys forget his shit eating grin during/after the 50-0 game?
I don’t and never will. I also don’t forget all the sycophants in the media kissing his ass all day. I don’t forget his smugness. And I don’t forget his complete lack of humility. This isn’t Jake Locker we are talking about. The guy acts like a total D-bag. I hope his hell is total failure in the NFL, just like Leinart, Booty and Sanchez. He’s to our boys on D smashing his ass all over the Rose Bowl next year!

too many to name but start with
Harold Miner
Rodney Peete
Pete Carroll
Todd Marijaunavich
John Robinson ..
So many...
But I am making the distinction of hating an opponent because they were so good (sg), vs. hating an opponent for just being a douche canoe (dc). In addition to Nestor’s list, with which I fully agree (except for Donahue…not really hate, since I’m not a 49er fan LOL!)
Salim Stoudamire (sg)
Rodney Peete (sg, just against Aikman…)
Harold Miner (sg)
Corey Brewer (sg)
Jorge Gutierrez (sg)
Jason Kidd (sg + dc)
Calipari (dc)
Gary Payton (sg + dc)
Chris Petersen (for being a $^#^ tease)
more to come later.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
I actually love Jorge Gutierrez's game
The kid is a leader. I like him as much as I like Aaron Rodgers. Great stories IMO.
Like your other list. Although, I don’t know as much as about this Chis Petersen guy. Can someone fill me in>
That's why he's in the sg category
I hate that he’s so good. I love his game too.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Doh - my bad
You know who else to add in that category?
Sean Elliott
Ryan Leaf (at least when he was in college – the dude cost us a Rose Bowl and a possible shot at the NC in 1997, people forget that).
It gets to be a fine line for some
but I have zero ill feelings towards him.
I’m sure there are a lot of non-revenue sports players who would fit this category too.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Leaf over Toledo?
It was his call to sit Skip Hicks on the potential game winning play…. and this is with Jonathan Ogden on the team.
This thread
is turning out more painful than I thought…
Nick Aliotti…
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
I hate that Florida guy too...
and as a result will root against the NBA team that he plays on or will play on. Still burns me to see the clip of him blowing kisses to the UCLA cheerleaders during the game
He's a P.O.S.
an embarrassment to his father. I loved his father, watched him play (tennis) growing up.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
I think you nailed it in your post.
Eric Affholter.
Not necessarily that guy personally. Just what that incompletion, err, alleged touchdown represented.
I forgot about Orenthal
Hated watching that convicted felon make mincemeat of our D that year.
OJ won't play today..... Or Ever for that fact!
I still have nightmares about that 60+ yard run he broke off on us in 1967. That was 44 years ago but it is as fresh as if it was yesterday.
harold miner

The Pac-10 refs who decided that...
Reggie Bush’s momentum was stopped when was cracked & fumbled in the ’04 game. The ball was recovered by Spencer Havner and would have been a touchdown, but that would have messed up the story-book ending for the trogans that year, so…
formerly Westwood78
Thanks for the mention, G
It’s funny, after I made the Humphrey comment, I decided to look up the box scores for the two Florida games. Turns out he went 4 for 8 on 3 pointers in both games. That’s what hate will do to your recollections, because I could have sworn he went 17 for 16, and after draining the last one, from 55 feet out, he goose-stepped to the sideline, and sodomized Josephine Bruin during the timeout, while wearing a Darth Vader helmet.
But, your honor, that’s how it happened, I swear !!
In any case, here are my other unforgivables:
- Rodney “Measles” Peete (at least I got to see him choke away a Rose Bowl to Michigan in person, and there’s always Youtube for the glorious fumbled snap that cost him the MSU Rose Bowl.) I even hate Holly Robinson Peete, for marrying him.
- The referee who said Melsby fumbled, only after both of his knees had hit the ground, and he was speared in the back by a late hit.
- similarly, Brian Poli-Dixon
- similarly, Hurricane Georges
- Matt Barkley – look up “d-bag” in the dictionary, yes, that’s his picture there.
- Pete the Cheat, for overall evil
- Thugaluga, Frostee Rucker, Matt Leinart, Brian Cushing, etc. – although it does warm my heart a little, to know that my hate isn’t entirely irrational.
Great topic
I have many, but one that comes immediately to mind: Desmon Farmer who played Suc basketball around 2000-2003(?)
That guy was just so incredibly obnoxious, but always managed to have great games against our hoops team.
Def. a media category
- UCLA beat reporters in the LAT/LAT columnists
- OC Register reporters – especially Adam Maya
- SChilly Smith
- Doug Gottlieb
- Talk radio morons in general.
And his sister Cheryl was a good Bruin.
Hail to the Hills of Westwood.
Yep
Digger was on my list. Both for as a coach and media. On the back of one of the standard cheer cards when I was in school was “Digger is a wimp.” He was so hated it was there even though it only applied once every two years.
He openly dislikes UCLA.
We don’t like him, he doesn’t like us. I watched UCLA @ Cal a few years ago and Digger was dancing with the cheerleaders acting like a total creeper. He also spent time during the breaks trying to pump up the crowd. Then again, isn’t that what national “partial” announcers are supposed to do?
UCLA won.

my (young) list
as only a class of 2010 alum i may only hate people from the last decade so here it goes (in no particular order):
-Desmond Farmer
-All $C QBs of the last decade
-Maulaluga/Cushing/Matthews
-The Chicago Bulls roster (Rose, Noah, Gibson)
-Quincy Pondexter
-Joey Dorsey
-Derrek Low/Jorge Guittierez
-Gabe Pruitt/Nick Young
I know I hate more, but right now work is consuming that part of my brain.
I honestly can't hate Sanchez too much.
Of all the QBs they’ve had, he didn’t talk a lot of trash, he actually played pretty well, and he bolted that program as soon as he could, embarrassing Cheat Carroll on the way out.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Did not know that
but Palmer just seems too much like Barkley to not be a dbag (smug looking face, from SC territory – south OC). I could be very wrong. As much as Cincy sucked too, the way he left Cincy (referring to his fat bank account and whining), gave me the impression that he was a whiny little you know what. He could’ve just left quietly like Barry Sanders did.

I also enjoyed how he helped finish off the train wreck that was the 2011 Raiders.

Exactly.

I don't think anyone has mentioned either of these two turd burglars:
Henry Bibby and Ken Norton Jr.
I’ll save the explanations. However, I am also going to throw Mike Williams in there because I forget the year, but leading into the SC game while others talked much trash, he was conscientiously careful not to say anything derogatory and even went out of his way to say he wasn’t going to talk trash, etc. Mere moments after they clowned us by scoring 66 points, he begins talking SO much trash on the cameras. hmmmmm. Won’t talk trash before the game, but after it’s been decided, can’t wait to drop some bombs on our guys? Trash.

I can never fault a guy for refusing to play for Lavin. I don’t really hate Marc Tyler, he’s just a dumbass, who also didn’t pick UCLA because of the crappy coach we had.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Agreed.
All they did was not come to UCLA. Both Bibby and Norton not only worked ‘over there’ they made derogatory statements in the press. It’s one thing to have beef with family, but you air that out within the confines of the family. They straight up shilled for the evil ones.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
She, more than anyone in Westwood, made an effort to speak with an angry alum
which is more than Block has done and more than Guerrero has done, so I give her a lot of credit for that. Same with Sirinya at The UCLA Fund. Who knows what happens behind closed doors in Murphy (well, nothing, actually) that keeps potential allies at bay. Even the appearance of trying to communicate is a major shift from the rest.
And Harlan needs to be moved up your list. Good call on him.

Nope - Turtletaub is an enthusiastic member of the Ministry of Truth
She worships at the shrine of the status quo. She says what she has to say to keep the proletariat from revolting. She gets a nice pat on the back from Block the Schlock for keeping one of the mindless ones from interacting with one of the ruling class.
I suspected as much
but I think that even by reaching out to BN, she may have been reprimanded by Block or a higher up. “Don’t talk to the underlings, you’ll never appease them!” I can sympathize with her – it’s hard to do much but reach out when your boss has his head stuck in the sand and is patting himself on the back for holding “student office hours”

Wow, someone finally got the OG OJ.
I was at that game when he scored in the last 21 or so seconds. I’ve hated him ever since, and when I heard his ex-wife had been murdered, I knew immediately who had done it.
Going back to those days…Elvin Hayes for hurting Lewis’ eye, and the horrible ref that blew that Houston game for us.
Go Bruins!
I separate mine into football and basketball. (I pretty much dislike the entire mainstream media, so that'd be too long of a list)
Basketball:
Joakim Noah (He is actually a solid player in the NBA now, but is such an asshat that I’ll never forgive him.)
Joey Dorsey
Nick Young and Taj Gibson (Just rubbed me the wrong way)
Jorge Gutierrez (Me and my best friend went to UCLA’s elimination at the Pac-10 Tourney last year, saw Cal play too. Just dislike him as a player, he bothers me)
Adam Morrison (This is more in general than a UCLA thing)
Football:
I hated John David Booty. Leinart, Sanchez and Palmer didn’t bother me. Hated Booty.
Rey Malaluga bothers me to no end. Very overrated. He was the fourth best linebacker on those teams. Cushing, Matthews and the other Samoan LB (Vainuaku or something?) were better than him.
Mike Williams, Patrick Turner and Dwayne Jarrett (I respected and still respect Steve Smith)
Frostee Rucker and Mike Patterson.
Lorenzo Booker. For running UCLA out of the stadium in a bowl game. Tough to watch.
Weirdly, Justin Forsett from Cal. Don’t ask why, he just bothered me.
Barkley is borderline for me, just because of my personal experience playing against him. He wasn’t that douchey in person on the field, despite how much he looks, sounds and acts like a douche. Plus, the cool factor of tipping a pass of a guy who will be a top 5 pick is tough to overlook.

Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned
Ryan Appleby. He is actually the worst and probably dislikes puppies and punches babies.
Also on my list:
Brady Quinn and Jeff Smardzja (sp?) for breaking my heart in South Bend
Leinart and Malaluga
Every USC FB ever. Kirkman, Hancock, and Havili were all there for 10 years. Each.
Antaun Simmons for that pick between his legs in ’01 after Poli-Dixon dropped it of course
Lee Humphrey obviously
Salim Stoudamire for his shot over AA in Tuscon
Samardzija
You gotta hate him even more since he didn’t even end up playing football, and is instead a relief pitcher for the Cubs…GRRRR!!!!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Right???
And his hair sucked too. Plus Brady Quinn was made out to be god that year because well, he played for ND.

I had totally forgotten about how much I dislike Hancock when he was at SC.
Didn’t it seem like Havili was at SC for like 8 years or was that just me?
"I have one word for you...Be careful."

All of them were at SC for 8 years
Kirkman, Hancock, and Havili. I think that it was just 1 guy who played from 01-09 and changed his name three times. Cheating bastards

Apologize for the language
But they make me mad

I met Brooks
I was wearing a UCLA sweatshirt too. He’s actually a nice guy – had nothing bad to say about UCLA or LA in general.
Dump Dan!

He falls in my sg category
Not a bad guy at all, just played too well against UCLA!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Indeed
Nick Young, Brandon Roy, James Harden belong in that category too! The Afflalo/Young, Mayo/Westbrook duals were pretty epic.
Dump Dan!

Can I add TJ Simers to this list?
Dump Dan!

Brick Layer
Tops my UCLA list and its not even close.
New one: Sarkisian
Future Names: Mike Leach and Rich Rod (What-could-have-been hates)
by Waitingfornumber12 on Feb 16, 2012 12:00 PM PST reply actions
as long as it's not
beat-our-asses hates. I have a hard time hating Leach, even if he beats us. Never liked Rich Rod much though.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Any Trojan Football player from 1967 to the present and the following basketball players:
Toby Knight
John Shumate
Gary Brokaw
Dwight Clay
Adrian Dantley
Digger Phelps….
The 1974 Notre Dame B-Ball Squad that stopped UCLA and Coach’s 88 game win streak! That was hard to take at age 12! My Mom said I had to say a Rosary for all the bad thoughts I had for ND.
Yes....Digger was the HC and not a player
Thinking more about it, Rodney Peete, Charlie White, George Achica really chaffed my a$$ also, but I digress…they are all Trojans between ’67-present.
Great listings
The too three names on my list -Dan G, Schilly Smith, and a tie the Mikes-Garrett and Cooper.
Let me add my two cents.......
Who ever composed that POS song that SUC plays every five seconds no matter what’s happening on the field.
Has anybody mentioned Tommy Trogan and Traveler. Hate’m!!!!!!!!!
Elvin Hayes and the U. of Houston 1967-68. Spoiled our season, at least for me. We got them back when it counted the most. Now that was Bruin Basketball!
While we are at it..........
Add Dickie V to my list. He just sucks so bad and he hates UCLA! While we are mentioning broadcasters, Brent Mushmouth just makes any game unbearable.
An unfortunately placed typo.
I got it right in the text, but botched it in the title. D’oh.
And how come it took that many comments to point that out, Bruins?
