If so, I hope it wasn't prior to fall 1985.
Otherwise, that would have been rather pointless, in more ways than one.
Grew up down here and moved to N.C. in 1981. Canes fans always give me **** for being a Duke Bball fan, but there was no Canes Bball in the late 70's and early 80's. Most of the current fanbase doesn't realize that. Still know that our best early player was old Tito though. A manchild in his day. Too bad we couldn't get his sons to come here.
That's my point. There wasn't even bball but these guys give you **** for cheering for another team you grew up liking.
They don't know what's up. You get on the bus in N.C. and they ask you if you like Carolina or State. In the 80's with no UM basketball team, you KNOW state schools are a bunch of bull**** (FSU/UF), so it's either Duke or Wake. Now UM fans backing UNC is despicable. They're the North Carolina version of U***.
