I already told you why I root for the Lakers, but obviously you're set on providing your own reason for me. That's cool, bro.

For the record, UNC is more of a bandwagon school than Duke. It's cool to hate Duke and cool to like UNC. College basketball is where fanhood gets fricked in the arse the most.



I grew up a Duke fan. My mom went to an ACC school and they had a saying "Anyone But Carolina".

Did she go to State? I would say they definitely hate UNC more than Duke. Same with Clemson

Can you please cite examples of Duke's racism?

You are aware that the school is in no way associated with David Duke, right?

I have a ton of respect for Duke and ND, 2 schools where student-athletes are actually student-athletes

Can't believe you said that about Duke. WTF!! Such a fail. That's going to piss me off all day. I'm pissed at Tigerdroppings for allowing someone to say something that fricking stupid and completely wrong.

If you met coach K or were around the program for 5mins you would have a completely different attitude.

What makes one get up in the morning and think "man i can't wait to root for a baseball team that tries to outspend every single team and steal all their free agents every offseason, completely destroying competitive balance of the entire league in the process?"


Apparently someone doesn't follow baseball.

r the basketball team with a ball hog rapist guard that calls out his teammates and more than one player that gets coaches they don't like fired?


You can hate on Kobe all you want for his personality, but please do not show you're blatant stupidity by actually claiming to believe he raped that girl. She was a full blown whore looking for a paycheck, nothing else.

Duke Basketball I can see because Coach K runs a clean program, graduates all his players and never has off the court issues.


Bingo. And he's the best basketball coach/teacher ever. I love Duke.

The rest can go F themselves. Especially the Lakers.

i guess if i lived in NY and liked MLB, or if i lived in LA and liked NBA, or lived in Dallas and liked NFL...

one of them's playing Alabama for the title... plenty of reason to root for them

as for Duke, no reason i guess.

Doesn't change the fact that he assraped her and got away with it.
