Post from relative (Carolina grad) started out is "life is good" since the Heels had another win in the ACC, but it did have a dark side since "Dook won." Real Carolina fans want no success whatsoever for Duke. Never mind that it is the ACC battling the barbaric hordes from the outside, especially the big bad Big East, life is only good when Carolina wins and Dook loses.
Now real NC State fans have a victory cheer of "Go to hell, Carolina." Life is good only when State wins and Carolina loses. I'm certain that in the stands after the wonderful victory over Uconn, the real State fans were chanting "Go to hell, Carolina." Heck, I've heard the fight chant when we were playing the terrible turpins from Maryland. go figure.
Dook fans hate anything in light blue, and would show only condesencion to us lowly Wolfpackers, if they would deign to notice us.
We all sort of like, or dislike, Wake Forest, depending on whether they or us won the last one. I'm sure, having to live in North Carolina, they look at the rivalries with bemused tolerance and (almost) understanding.
Well, life is good. 3 of 5 ACC teams advanced. And a begrudging tip of the hat to the boys in blues. (one of the reasons to keep my name confidential is that my real Wolfpacker friends would have me committed for mortal sins). Well, life will be better if both State and Carolina win the next one and we have a real reaon to chant the State fight chant.
