Duke: Why We Love To Hate Them

My first time going to an NCAA Tournament game was in 2002 when I was twelve years old. I trekked 60 miles from my home in Louisville to Lexington for perhaps the greatest non-UK moment in the history of UK fandom. I saw Duke lose in Rupp Arena.

I have found myself with a growing distaste for a number of Kentucky rivals. I despise our archrival Louisville. Their fans are the most delusional I have ever encountered. Indiana is right up there with Louisville with their smug condescension and graceless attitude. They can lose every game for all I care.
