There are only three college basketball teams I hate.

Gonzaga.

Oregon.

UNC.

My only hope is fucking upstart South Cockalina.

Welcome to Trump's America.

    How can you hate North Carolina?
  • TequillaTequilla Member Posts: 19,937
    I get that they think that they are an elite basketball school ... but I don't find their fans any more annoying or better than Kentucky or Kansas fans. I haven't really run across any Indiana fans (I'd imagine that lately they are insufferable). Duke fans in general just come across as elitist. If I didn't respect Coach K I wouldn't have any time for them.

    Living in Seattle I liked UNC a lot, even had a UNC Starter jacket (shoutout 1995!).

    Took me about six weeks in Carolina to hate their fans. Eventually I adopted Duke as my NC school just to spite the cocky trailer trash Tar Heel fans. But I hate UNC way more that I like Duke.

    That's where I'm at as well. I need to see @206Hoops and all those other faggots cry some more.

    I'm a Davidson fan. I like Davidson because in NCAA basketball for the super Nintendo they had a player who's name I can't remember who could make a shot from anywhere on the court.

    I get that ... I had a similar story moving to Texas with Texas ... I didn't hate Texas and viewed Texas A&M akin to the Cougs ... then I got down there and found the Texas people insufferable and the TAMU people to be very down to earth and easy to get along with. Oklahoma is somewhere in the middle to me ... but closer to Texas ... they are the lesser of the two evils.

    I always knew how close Duke/Carolina were from each other ... but I really never realized that NC State was 30 minutes away (I guess I just always figured Raleigh-Durham airport was somewhere in the middle of the 2 and each way from there was 30-45 minutes to each city).

    After driving through a lot of North Carolina a few months ago I could definitely see the "trailer trash" element once you get outside of the cities ...

    I wonder if what you ran into came down to the fact that the general population relates to North Carolina way more than Duke as Duke's viewed as the elitists. I've never got the impression you described from any North Carolina alums I've been around.

    If we had a good team, I'd enjoy hating the Zags, but since we don't, and since I watched that HBO special about the Zags, I find myself rooting for them. I think it's cool that our state is in the final 4. I might even get a Zags hat and wear it next time I visit my Oregon relatives.

    If it comes down to the Zags vs the Ducks, I hope the Zags kick the living shit out of the Ducks.

    If it comes down to that, you'll have to come up with a plan B. If Oregon gets by UNC they beat Gonzaga. I just don't think it happens. Either way I'll enjoy watching Ginzaga lose. Not a fan.

    That's as gay as cheering for the Pac12 in bowl games. Fuck Gonzaga.
