Tonight is the Best Rivalry in all of College Sports- Duke/Carolina

Sometimes you can come back from the "Dark Side" which is something I can certainly attest to! Many years ago when I was a child, my brother, sisters and myself included had  succumbed to the "dark side".  Since we were still so  young and naive,  it was easy to convince us that "Duke" was not "Satan".  Looking back now I'm firm believer one should never Ignore the "signs",  the biggest one being the Duke Mascot.  The Devil had even tempted one of my sisters with an early college admission. If not for a visit to the Duke Campus(extended territory of New Jersey), the post I'm writing now could be much different.  My sister decided to take  a campus visit . While there she figured she would also  visit the campus of UNC since she was also accepted there. Duke had always been her love, so visiting UNC was more an after thought. She saw such a stark contrast between the two schools that day that she  immediately decided that UNC was the place for her, not Duke. The students were friendly and helpful,  which is something she didn't find while visiting Duke. It was from that point on, my sister who was once a "die hard" Duke fan made a decision that saved the rest of her family from the "Dark Side". Once out in to the Carolina Blue we have never looked back.
