I know I am probabally in the minority nation wide and probabally in here, but I am and always have been a HUGE Duke fan and am looking for good things from them this year with Singler, Scheyer, and Nolan Smith coming back to lead them.

There is a good amount of us here. Really looking forward to this season with the guys we got coming back, the Plums down low, and the addition of Dawkins. Looking for a huge year out of Smith, I think he'll be the secondary scorer with Jon at the point.

I've been a Duke fan since the early 80's when Dawkins, Bilas, Henderson, and Alerie were sophomores. Anyone have connections at Duke? Would love to see a game in Cameron!

While there are obviously a ton of people who really don't like Duke, I would guess that behind UNC, Kansas, and a couple of other schools, Duke has more fans than just about any other school.

And yes, I am a big Duke fan and have been for a long time (even before I went there). I think that the early enrollment of Dawkins will really help out with depth, and I believe that Duke will finish in the top 2 in the ACC. Nationally though, I only see them as a Sweet 16-type team this year.

I am a Duke fan unless they play LSU.

I've lived in NC for 15 years and I started liking their program when they had J. Williams, Dunleavy, Battier, etc.

My wife is a huge UNC fan but their fanbase (all sports) annoys the shite out of me.

They are the most fair weather fans you'll find anywhere. Football tailgate is lame and they are so ridiculously spoiled when it comes to hoops that they simply expect to win everything.

I find myself pulling for Duke often against UNC because I like the players better and they're usually the underdog in recent years.

Never liked players like Sheed, Makhtar Ndiye, McCants, etc.

People around ACC country are very high on Duke this year and expect them to win the conference.

I'm a Duke fan. I'm also a huge Lakers and Yanks fan. I'll also pull for the Cavs...and Gators when they're not playing UT.

Go Duke!

Just curious, are there any LSU fans in this thread that would pull for Duke over LSU in basketball? As an alumnus and diehard LSU basketball fan, this is hard to fathom...
