Coach K, mostly. Rat frick weasel. But throw Hurley, Laettner, Hill, Parks, Wojo and the rest in there too. And Vitale is just the cherry on top.

have Duke graduates in my family and they are the classiest people you would ever met. Duke also doesn’t hire coaches that look the other way at black players raping white girls on campus. So they don’t really have much in common with the average SEC school.


No one gives a frick, you absolute retard

None of you hate Duke like Kentucky hates Duke. Not even Tar Heel fans. That's a fact.

If you watched CBB in the 80s Duke was just another team, nothing special. Then ESPN got big, and Vitale got big and suddenly Duke was the "It girl" for the Network


Duke didn’t win anything in the 80s. KD first Final Four was 86 so yeah they were “just another team”

You don’t think UConn men and women have been helped by ESPN being a Connecticut thing?

Because like most media dealing programs they get every single call nearly 100% of the time.

Even if I didn’t like Duke I pretty much always root for the southern school over the north school. Shame on yall.

Damn I had no idea so many rich famous people lived in this tiny Florida town I’ve never heard of. Are you the OT baller we’re always hearing about?

I think another reason for the retarded Duke hate is it’s the “in” thing to do.

Duke has been hated by the masses for nearly 40 years. This isn’t some new trend tbh. If anything, the hate has probably gone down just a bit since K isn’t the coach anymore. Similar to Bama without Saban.
The apex of Duke hating was no doubt the 90’s starting with Laettner and company and going through those wimpy white guards they always had that slapped the court like a bunch of douches lol

Personally I still hate Bama football about the same but I’ve come to like Saban a lot more

I went to the Duke/Maryland game in College Park back in 2002. I've never felt hatred like I did in Cole Field House that day. Maryland beat them and went on to win the natty.

They love to hate winners. Duke is always near the top for the last 20+ yrs.

The average Duke "fan" has no connection to the school. Or the city. Or even the state of NC. Yet they're everywhere.
