    Duke fans have a higher level of tradition and understanding than unc followers. unc front runners have a disappointing level of information to add to basketball discussions other than "we're #1" and neanderthal shouting down of anyone who opposes their mass hysteria.

    i agree. you can't talk to Tar Heel fans on any level of sanity. even when they start out the convo being slightly sane, soon, dean smith, michael jordan, and "we got 5 rings you got 3" are the dominant positions of conversation.

    Not only did they boo the cheerleaders, they booed the team, the band, any mention of the word Duke, and any call against Murray State or Arizona State. As Duke left the court after the ASU game, our players waved their hands in gracious acknowledgment of the crowd's support.

    Unc

    Haven't read the whole thread but when I was about ten, I went to a two week summer camp in Carolina. Most of the counselors were Carolina students.

    When I showed up to activities in my Duke hat, I was expecting some minor ribbing. So I fully expected that the counselor was joking when she told me I could not participate in tennis if I wore my Duke hat. Unfortunately, I was the only one laughing when she made that statement. I'm proud to say that I gladly sat out for fifteen or whatever rather than succumb and take off the hat.

    Anyway, she eventually let me play.

    My daughter has a friend who graduated from Duke and enrolled in the athletic administration program at UNC. Normally grad school is no big deal -- you can keep your undergrad alliances because everyone else is from other schools. Howsomever, one requirement in this program was that you had to coach PE, which involved wearing Tarheel sweats and shorts -- a real come-down for a diehard Blue Devil.

    We can always take solace in the fact that, until they win another title, they DON'T have 5. It drives me nuts seeing them wear shirts and coats claiming the mystery title. Personally I never heard them claim that until we won our
    3rd. There is no way to have a rational conversation with them but it can be entertaining--I have a friend who stomps, rants, & raves talking about how good they are. . .it's a sight to see. I'll stand back and let him go through his hystrionics because it cracks me up but he makes little sense--few of them do.

    I always figure the response to that is 'K has 3, how many did Dean win again?'

    Teacher

    When your mom is a teacher you are held to a different standard than classmates. And every teacher has heard all the excuses in the world for quote unquote bad behavior and disobedience. I couldn't get away with anything in school. So in 5th grade after lunch each day we were given sheets with lyrics and my teacher would play the piano and we would sing.

    One day she attempted to introduce us to the UNC theme song and when I wasn't singing she sent me to the principals office. The principal called my dad, and normally I would have been dreading to see him walk through the door. When the principal told my father I'd refused to participate in the singing he asked me why. When I told him they had wanted me to sing the UNC theme song he looked at the principal and said, "he will NOT be singing THAT song, please send him back to class tell Mrs Graves she needs to find better songs and please don't bother me again with needless trips up here"!
