Yeah, I'm used to it. To tell you the truth I follow VT (this is where most of my maternal family that's attended college went to) as well, but if it's Duke vs VT, I'll still pick Duke. I didn't get the appreciation for VT until later on, most people wouldn't even assume that I follow anything from Duke other than basketball, but they're my fave in college football too. I'm a very loyal person I think and as a youth, very impressionable as well. Had it not been for my stepfather (yeah I know that I said dad, but my mother and biological father split before I was born) I doubt I would have ever followed Duke, there would be no justifiable reason.

As far as examples of sports vs none.. I paid my own way into community college and we didn't have sports. I'll gladly take pride in the university that I graduate from, when/if it ever happens.

As you can probably tell I constantly have to explain why I'm a Duke fan and it just grows tiring. I'm also an Army and Navy fan but don't follow them much, more familial ties.
