DUKE or UNC? Pick your Poison....
WARNING! The following is a tongue in cheek introduction to our area. Before sending me a nasty email, please read the entire post. Legal disclaimer following this post limits liability and consideration of your opinion.
Welcome to the Triangle! We are SO happy you have decided to join us and move to our area! I think you will find that everything you have read is true. We are a diverse, loving and friendly community, that truly cares about one another...except for two or three days a year.
It is very nice to meet you but before we go any further... Do you root for Duke or UNC? Huh? Oh, that's cute. No, you can't sit on the fence and 'cheer for both'... We don't do that here. HERE, we make a choice. It is a life altering choice that will define who you are as a human being as long as you reside here. You will live and breathe that choice...every day. 24/7/365.
Still don't know? Let me give you the scoop on each to maybe help you out a bit.
Carolina fans are known as the Tarheel faithful. They are a vocal bunch, generally nice enough, and usually have all their tattoos spelled correctly. They love basketball, bowling and beer pong. They worship their old coach Dean Smith, as the new one just isn't as good. They know their team's nickname doesn't make sense and don't care. They are rabid. Heck, they have even hosed down the entire town of Chapel Hill in that unmanly shade of blue... yep, even the firetrucks. You will quickly learn to love or hate this color. It is everywhere... especially at WalMart.
Duke people are prideful bunch. The main reason Duke fans don't talk quite as much smack is because they have to remove the silver spoon their Daddy put in their mouth first. They can be a little pretentious, a little too soft, a little too proper. The only thing fatter then their wallets is their trust funds, and waistlines. On a game day, Cameron 'Crazies' come out of the woodwork. Some say the students are only jumping up and down and screaming due to all the amphetamines they are taking so they can study all night. Duke fans are smarter, richer, and well, generally geeks.
As you can see, it's a bit of a double edged sword. The only thing I can guarantee is that each one will bring you periods of great joy and deep sorrow.
So spend a few minutes thinking it over. The next person you meet will be wanting to know your answer.
Any similarity, either real or imagined, to a living or deceased Duke or Carolina fan is only a coincidence. Names have been withheld to protect the guilty. We are not responsible for accidents. The opinions are sole meant to be that of the author who doesn't really care if you are offended... it is a joke. No need to get angry, threaten or stalk me. I may appreciate the attention.
