ATTN: All Duke haters welcome in this thread.
The last of the revelers have just left my house after spending the last three days rooted here watching the ACC tournament. And, HOO-HA!! [Maryland wins the ACC tournament in overtime!!](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57912-2004Mar14.html) First time in twenty years.
Good lord, that tournament kicked ass! Especially if you’re a Maryland fan. To think that less then two weeks ago nobody was sure Maryland would make it to the NCAA Tournament and now they have an automatic bid is incredible. Three come from behind wins in all, and by a six seed no less; not even in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen. The semi-final victory a 21 point down come from behind over NC State, the greatest comeback victory in ACC tournament history!! And the championship a win over Duke (twelve point come back) breaking their streak of ACC titles (and why do I keep hearing Duke fans saying there’s no rivalry between the two teams? Good lord, what do you want, blood?). Being a Maryland fan might cause me to have a heart attack one day and I think Gary Williams has one every game.
Good lord, this conference tournament had everything, possibly the closest games in tournament history, five ranked teams and [an off duty cop shooting himself](http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/13/misfire.fan.ap/). How’s that for excitement?
Did anyone catch the Georgia Tech fan holding up the sign in the championship game that said “Maryland, don’t let our loss be in vain!” You gotta love it when the fans of the ACC band together in their hatred of Duke. Hey GT, we were rooting for you against Duke yesterday.
To the dipstick at work who wanted Maryland to win so “Duke will have an easier victory in the final”: HAAA, HA HA HAAA. Yeah, I know you weren’t picking up your phone after the game because you were afraid it was me calling to rub it in. BTW, seeing as how you’ve never set foot in North Carolina why are you a Duke fan? Oh, for the same reason you were rooting for the Yankees in the World Series.
To the North Carolina fan who made fun of me when I bet him a hundred bucks early in the season that Maryland would make it to the Sweet Sixteen: Ain’t looking like a stupid bet now, is it (okay, this one might backfire on me)?
As a straight male I would like to say that if John Gilchrist (tourney MVP) ever asked, yes, I would be his bitch.
And, yes, I am petty and obnoxious. But, hey, I am a Maryland fan.

Well, **Asylum,** I heard the call and came a-running. I don’t have a whole lot to add, other than that you’re now my brother in hatred for eternity. Fuck those motherfuckers.

My hatred of Duke is both irrational and deeply cherished. That game made my weekend. Go Terps!

Too much time spent memorizing the names of Precambrian protozoa, not enough time spent learning basketball abbreviations and college sports team names:)

My hatred of Duke is both all-consuming and entirely rational, for you see, I’m a Kentucky fan. (No, we are NOT fucking over it.)
Kentucky, by the way, picked up the top #1 seed after their traditional postseason second wind kicked in. Seeing that and seeing Duke get reamed made for a beautiful day.
I’ve liked Maryland all year. When I was in Vegas I bet on them over the Heels and picked up a few bucks.
I think it’s going to be a great tournament.

I was a sophomore at UK when Christian Laettner ripped our hearts out, so I am thrilled whenever Duke loses!

Ah, what do you guys even know? Duke OWN. It was a good game, I’ll give you that, but maryland still sucks the fatty and duke is… the mcawesome.

You can further express your disdain for Duke in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=244923), pick against them.

My brother moved to Durham and became a big Duke fan. The brother who from childhood taight me to hate the Yankees. Yeah, it’s personal.
I hope Duke never wins another game and that the whole fucking university burns to the ground. And if you are a Duke fan, eat shit.

Is your cow orker from New Jersey? Duke is sometimes referred to as the University of New Jersey at Durham. Check out folks’ license plates if you ever find yourself in a Duke parking lot.
And, speaking as an alumnus of the University of North Cackalakey, while I was heartbroken at the defeat of the Heels, it was make slightly less painful by watching that little Dukie cry on TV.

I don’t hate Duke… I really don’t.
It’s Carolina I hate. I mean I love Maryland, and love the fact that Maryland beat them, but I like keeping Duke around to make sure those Tarheels lose.

I didn’t get to see any of the games, but that makes me smile. As a Carolina graduate and formerly 15-year resident of Chapel Hill, I can’t help but be happy. Carolina may suck in comparison, but anybody that puts a whipping on the boys up the road, gets my undying thanks.

Huh? You are aware UNC finished the season ranked in the top twenty-five and got a six seed in the NCAA tournament? UNC sucks compared to no one. Hell, the whole ACC kicks ass (well, maybe Clemson sucks a little).
