UNC vs Duke

That's like saying people who are UMD fans but went to Towson can't be UMD fans anymore. A good friend of mine from Ohio went to Dennison but is a huge Ohio State fan. I've liked them since I can remember, 3 or 4 years old due to family. My kid bro's first word was Duke. For most of my upbringing I could get to Duke (a lil over an hour) before I could get to VT (1h 40 mins) or so. It's such a tired argument though, oh you can't like them cuz of blah blah blah. If people are so insecure about their stuff, fine, good for them, I'm not. It's not like I picked up Duke because of their success nor did I do it anytime recently, it's who I grew up liking because of my dad. Why people care who I like is somewhat ridiculous, bandwagon fans.. sure, fuck them.


these long explanation of distant connections to people who went to duke coupled with your proximity to duke when you rented an apartment for 6 months in 1997 are the same explanations skins fans in DC get when we ask a cowboys fan if they are from texas.

tryful, you live in MD, you should know this buddy.

I've lived in MD for 3 months

I "rented an apartment for 6 months" down there for 15 years

yeah my dad is a real distant connection

LOL. Too funny.

On a somewhat related note (well not really). I remember pestering a Cowboys fan, whose screen name clearly tied him to the Oakland/SF area, as to why he was a Cowboys fan (if he seemed to follow other Bay area teams). He told me that when he grew up in the area during the 90s, there weren't any good football teams to follow. I said to myself, weren't the 49ers pretty good in the 90s?

hahahahaha no joke right?

between 83 and 98 the 49ers only once failed to make the playoffs

definitely a lot of bandwagon fans for the Boys from the 90s.. and the 70s who've passed it down.. same with the 70s Steelers, not only do they travel well but they've just got such a huge fanbase from their success

one of my best friends growing up was a Steelers AND Cowboys fan, I was like man your dad picked TWO bandwagon teams to follow?
