There’s always that one player who you have nightmares of because of what he or she does to your team. Sometimes all it takes is one moment to become hated. Just imagine how many Michigan basketball fans still have nightmares of Evan Turner’s buzzer-beater in the Big Ten Tournament.
Other times it is an accumulation of destruction on the playing field that has the opposing fanbase foaming at the mouth when their hated rival is mentioned. J.T. Barrett and Aaron Craft are a couple of Buckeyes who spent nearly half a decade tormenting the rest of the Big Ten.
