I've liked them since I can remember, 3 or 4 years old due to family. My kid bro's first word was Duke. For most of my upbringing I could get to Duke (a lil over an hour) before I could get to VT (1h 40 mins) or so. It's such a tired argument though, oh you can't like them cuz of blah blah blah. If people are so insecure about their stuff, fine, good for them, I'm not. It's not like I picked up Duke because of their success nor did I do it anytime recently, it's who I grew up liking because of my dad. Why people care who I like is somewhat ridiculous, bandwagon fans.. sure, fuck them.

these long explanation of distant connections to people who went to duke coupled with your proximity to duke when you rented an apartment for 6 months in 1997 are the same explanations skins fans in DC get when we ask a cowboys fan if they are from texas.

tryful, you live in MD, you should know this buddy.

LOL. Too funny.

On a somewhat related note (well not really). I remember pestering a Cowboys fan, whose screen name clearly tied him to the Oakland/SF area, as to why he was a Cowboys fan (if he seemed to follow other Bay area teams). He told me that when he grew up in the area during the 90s, there weren't any good football teams to follow. I said to myself, weren't the 49ers pretty good in the 90s?
