I got into Chicago this evening, visiting family.

My aunt is a Duke “fan”. The truth is she couldn’t name one player on the team, and she didn’t even know they were playing.

I spent age 0-15 in North Carolina, so I’ve always rooted for UNC and hated Duke.

Over the years we have always made jokes and texted each other when UNC beat Duke or vice versa.

So anyways, I saw Duke was tied with Stephen F Austin with 4 minutes left, so I turn the TV on.

She asked me who I wanted to win, and I said SFA of course. She told me that I should root for Duke because they aren’t playing UNC right now.

I said I always root against Duke no matter what, and she kept trying to convince me that I had an obligation to like Duke because of her.

When Duke lost on a Fast Break buzzer beater layup, I couldn’t stop fricking laughing. I thought it was hilarious, so did my uncle (UVA grad).

My aunt bursted into tears and ran upstairs screaming that I “disrespected her and her 40+ family members who have attended Duke.”

That was 3 hours ago. She never came back down.

FML. 5 more days.

Yeah. It just blew my mind how offended she was that I don’t like Duke.

That's a good thing. Now you don't have to deal with her.

Burst or bursted? Or are both correct?

Either way, the way to go from here on out is "apeshit". Dook.

It would have been good not to be intentionally obnoxious even though her reaction was over the top unless it involved me and an LSU game. Then, you’d be mud.

So, you purposely upset your aunt in her own house and felt the need to post a...brag thread? ...kay. Go to the hotel for the night and try again tomorrow.
