Actually I'm an SEC person living in ACC territory.

However, I am a Dukie!
You have my deepest sympathies...
For anyone from another country trying to figure this out, the University of North Carolina and Duke University are two of the most successful college basketball programs in the US. The coach for Duke has won more games than any other coach in history and UNC were the defending national champions (but death-spiraled in a blowout against Texas A&M today). Their campuses are only seven miles apart and if you're not from around here it's impossible to understand the visceral animosity between the two schools.
But enough about basketball and back to more important things. I just submitted a story today about a mother reminiscing with her daughter about the time she had to cheer lead at a football game praying no one would see the red bottom she'd received an hour before.
