Growing up in college basketball-rich North Carolina, you had to pick a side as a kid -- 'Carolina' or 'Duke'. I chose 'State'.
@BCrawford247 You must’ve grown up after 1990 when ESPN concocted that made for tv “rivalry”
@BCrawford247 Am I THAT much older than you? 🤣Graduated from Cary High in 1985 and there were 2 Duke fans at our 4A school. I don't remember any at Cary Elementary or East Cary Junior High. Those 2 kids must have moved in. We had to choose, too, but Duke was not 1 of the 2 options.
@BCrawford247 I went to school in nc for 1 year. I knew 1 kid who was a state fan. Ole chubby short blonde kid.
@BCrawford247 Everyone in North Carolina knows it’s actually State or Carolina. No one actually likes Duke there
@BCrawford247 I’m not sure where you’re from, but I’ve lived in Raleigh for over 40 years and plenty of folks pick State. Look outside right now, they’re everywhere!!!
