Wetsell: Arrogance and Apathy Fuel Resentment

Posted Feb 3, 2007

Why do we hate the Tar Heels? Let me count the ways. So what if UNC has four point guards and we have 75% of one. So what if their front line has two NBA lottery picks and their fans think the idea of us trying to win is "cute." The Heels and their fans are a group blessed with an ever-flowing fountain of arrogance that fuels apathy for all things non-Duke. It is time that we peed in that fountain. So what if they wouldn't notice. (Pack Pride)
