4. Penn - It's hard to work up much bile against a team that lets you play in their gym for like 3 games a year. OK, that's what's nice about them. Here's the rest: Penn students are cocky, arrogant, and rich, and we you have pathetic names like Chadwick Penworth Waddington IV.
3. St. Joe's - When I was younger, one of my brothers joked before we all sat down to dinner that he was going to apply to St. Joe's. Two things happened that night: He didn't get dinner and the rest of the family took shots punching him in the face until we could prove the he bled La Salle blue. That isn't a true story because of the color properties of blood when it hits the outside air, but you get the point.
2. Villanova - You break up the Big Five on the strength of the 1985 National Championship and you get our #2 spot, you overdressed humps. Nova fans aren't quite as full of themselves as Penn students (see above), but they did steal the right of La Salle fans to point to our 1954 National Championship banner and feel like we're special. And for that, we do not forgive you.
1. Temple - Yes, the Owls earn the top spot. Not only did you take Fran Dunphy from us (alumns should ALWAYS come back to their alma maters to coach like Roy Williams did for UNC - that's called loyalty, and you've got none of it Dunph), but we don't really like sharing Broad Street with you very much. You crowd the R5 regional rail line when you go to school (for those of you who do go to class) and you don't shower often. Bad combo.

Temple is my least hated Big 5 rival. When I was on the precipice of getting my walking papers, Chaney said he would come to 20th & Olney with a baseball bat to defend my honor. Wait, he was guaranteed two wins against me a year, so maybe that's what he was protecting. Correction. Temple is my most hated rival.
Speedy M.
P.S. Miss you!
Yeah, you can't hate Penn since they let us crash at their place.
With all due respect for the rightfully placed hatred of Dunphy for jerking us around like that, I would go with this order:
4. Temple - While I CANNOT root for Dunphy, I think in the long run we will be better off with Dr. G.
3. Penn - Agree on the use of the Palestra but I went to grad school there and by and large most of the Biffs and Muffys are total tools.
2. St. Joe - In the past I would have put them behind Penn becuase they are the school and student body that is most like us but for one word: "Martelli." Outside of Dick Vitalle, is there a more obnoxious self-promoting jackass on the face of the earth???
1. Vile-a-nova - No contest. See Biff and Muffy wanna be factors of Penn combined with the legacy of trying to destroy the Big 5. Mr. Armani's constant preening, whining and strutting on the bench also wears thin.
