UNC basketball- my 7th grade English teacher was married to the Simon Gratz basketball coach. Rasheed Wallace was the star player at Gratz and the time and mrs Ellerbee arranged for Rasheed to come visit our class. Rasheed went to UNC the next year and I was hooked.
And my hatred for UNC basketball might seem odd for a WNY resident. I'm old enough to remember the 70's, before ESPN, Fox Sports, the interweb. College BB was three games on the weekend and one was always, UCLA. The others were either Indiana, Kentucky or UNC. And, if it was Carolina, it was Dean Smith and the fucking Four Corners. One of the three games consisted of UNC passing he ball back and forth for 20-40 minutes. Whee! Gt so I hated just seeing "1 pm, college basketball, UNC vs Maryland" or whoever in the TV Guide. Unreasonable, certainly. Dean is dead, the shot clock exists and the 4 Corners is no more. But I'll hold on to my hate. It turned me into a semi Duke fan and i really don't like Duke. My brother played HS BB with Chris Laettner so I had to root for him for a while
