Q&A with Duke hater Ian Williams

Posted Feb 13, 2013
Ian Williams wrote a 1990 column for The Daily Tar Heel entitled “Why I Hate Duke.” It remains one of the DTH’s most popular stories. In 2007, Williams wrote a follow-up column, ““Why I Still Hate Duke.” In light of today’s game, staff writer Jackson Knapp spoke with Williams to revisit the column that famously said things like “I want Krzyzewski calling home to his mother with tears in his eyes.” (Daily Tar Heel)
