Huge difference. Professional and college teams are different. First off there are no baseball teams in NJ so in that case how would it work. Makes no sense to me and many others how one can attend a D1 school amd pay tuition there but then support a different D1 school. Where is your school pride? Makes no sense how one pays 200k to Go to a school and then turn around and support a school that may have denied you. 

Nothing more ridiculous then walking on Unc Charlotte or nc states campus and seeing duke and tarheel gear everywhere.

College state dude.  To make matters worse, many of us went to UNCW, App State, ECU, Campbell, and other various Universities include College of Charleston.  You expect these people to root for their college teams when they're fuging terrible at basketball?  Yeah, good luck with that.

As a person that goes to NCSU.  Why do State fans always seem to be okay with liking Duke?  Or not having the same hatred as they do for UNC?  This is befuddling to me.  

Graduated from State, but grew up a Duke fan.  Don't consider myself a "real" Duke fan anymore, but I still have ties there because of my childhood. 

As for the overall question in general...State fans just want to see UNC lose...and Duke is usually the best option to help with that goal.

Maybe they couldn't get in at Duke/UNC?  I mean, you have your list of 1st, 2nd, etc. schools that you want to attend.  Do you have to give up the team you cheered for your whole life, because you couldn't get in?

I wouldn't worry about it too much man, some people live their lives have no sense of pride and loyalty. It will come back around to bite them eventually.

Hell I played baseball for UNCC and I don't pull for any of their teams. I follow them from afar and smile when they do well. But from the time I could walk I was a UNC fan. Raised that way and always wore UNC gear growing up. It has nothing to do with where I went to school. If that's the case then who should children cheer for/like?  In 1993 when UNC won the title, 5 of us on the baseball team got in a car, drove 2.5 hours from Charlotte in the rain to party on Franklin St.

My grandpa started taking me to the acc tournaments when I was 4 years old. I grew up watching Stackhouse, Antwan Jamison, Vince Carter, Ed Cota, Brendan Haywood... So just because I didn't want to go to school 3 hours away from home I can't root for the Heels anymore? Get the fug outta here. I've spent my hard earned money year after year supporting the team by buying tickets to football and basketball games and buying apparel. Traveling all over to acc and ncaa tourney games to cheer on the team. As far as I'm concerned I have just as much right to root for 'em as the next guy.

College basketball is pretty terrible, but I'll probably be checking this out tonight. I do like the way Duke plays with how many threes they shoot and the ball movement they have (I think they've been worse this year, I can't say I've watched a Duke game). UNC's bigs are pretty good, I remember Brice Johnson having a ridiculous stat line early in the year that had only ever been achieved by Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant.

As far as my allegiance goes I really don't care, I don't go to either school, and I have no love for college basketball. Just going to enjoy the rivalry, the games are almost always really fun to watch.

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      And for those curious to see a more complete picture: If CMC can't go (which he probably will, as I heard they're just being overly cautious), then I will move Chuba into the dedicated RB slot and will indeed begin my season with T-Mac and X playing. Keep pounding all the way.

      They already were down rice, when Worthy went down and you're relying on old ass kelci and juju and a run game that looks weak as hell you're going to have a bad time. I still won't be surprised at all when they're in the super bowl in February. Philly is going to stomp them next week though

      My fantasy team...I'm going all-in

      By TD alt · Posted

      My fantasy league is named Any Given Sunday. It's a Yahoo friends and family league that's existed since 2008. There's no money involved, just bragging rights. The participants love it, and we love mixing it up and talking sh¡t to one another. I've won the trophy five times (and almost a close sixth), so they love beating me (and seeing me win, oddly). I'm on a four year drought though. So this year I kinda said, "fug it, I'm going all-in on my guys." Amid that, I did something that I never do and went RBs one, two and three, with the critical---some would say the "crazy" move being Chuba at three. So now I'm light on receivers. But, I was ultimately able to get my guys. Dave Canales is already talking crazy talk, suggesting that he's not going to let Chuba run wild in so many words (so I learned in the other thread). I bristle at that. I'm giving Bryce a lotta faith by extension. He's on the wire (but I may as well have played him for all Dakota did the other night). I obviously believe in Tetairoa. He could be my WR1 (other than Scary Terry). I picked up X late, and I'm hoping that he will make the league hate that I did because it was kinda disrespectful for him to be drafted in the 12th round if you ask me. As for JT Sanders, I picked him up as an aside because as we all know, the pickings at TE are slim (especially when you have to try and build a complete team after taking three RBs so early). I hope that Sanders comes through, then I might be looking good.  So, yeah, I kinda went all-in. If there was ever a time for our offense to come alive, I need them to do it this season.  Bryce needs to continue on his ascension from the end of last season, and Canales needs to let Chuba run the damned rock. We have insurance in Rico (as do I), so let Chuba do his thing. If our offense doesn't work this season, then we're just fùcked, and so am I most likely. But I have faith. Now let me go move Golden back to W/T spot. I have faith in X, but no so much that I'm playing him over Golden tomorrow.
