I don't know if this has been mentioned, and since this is an old thread (original post date), I'm sure the author has seen/read numerous posts about the fanfare/thrill of the NCAAB team the North Carolina Tar Heels, a truly storied franchise.

However, I've been thinking of moving to South Carolina, and I'm actually a huge Duke Blue Devils fan, and as we know, the Tar Heels' #1 rival is Duke.

They've faced off countless times and produced countless forms of human/athletic drama, whether it be during the regular season, ACC tourney, or NCAA tourney.

If you live in North Carolina, you must think about the magic of Tar Heels legends like Rasheed Wallace (an incredible collegiate power-forward who helped his team reach the Final Four in 1995) and complementary 'foils/rivals' like Duke's Michael Dunleavy (a really gifted small forward who effectively positioned Duke to seal the national title in 2001).

In other words, if you're a North Carolina resident, you're probably thinking about the TV-magic of a great Tar Heel or rival Blue Devil. Just ask a former North Carolina visiting/resident athlete such as Wallace or Dunleavy, man!

Live long and prosper...

DUNLEAVY: It's really symbolic of American pride in collegiate sports!
WALLACE: People move to North Carolina just to enjoy that...
