A Rivalry Worth The Hype
Sure, you may get sick of Dickie V. and ESPN's overblowing of everything about the rivalry, but in my opinion, Duke vs. UNC is one rivalry worth the hype. I get sick when ESPN pumps up their Yankees/Red Sox coverage, but I really enjoy a good North Carolina vs. Duke match up.
This ESPN intro shows some of the amazing players -- Stackhouse! -- who have played through this epic rivalry.
Fun random fact: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the only university that denied me admittance. /sheds single baby blue tear
I hate UNC. =]

Agreed, this is one rivalry that routinely lives up to the hype. Last night's game was no exception. It is the only regular season game played with a tournament-like intensity. I'm not a big fan of either team, but you can't help watch a game played with so much at stake and at such a high level.
