When I lived in NC, it seemed that more often than not, you were expected to root for NC.

One thing I do remember is that the newscasts seemed to indicate that there was no such thing as basketball outside the ACC.

>Here in NC it doesn't matter if you attended the school or not. If you live in the state of North Carolina, you are expected to root for any of the 4 important mens college basketball schools:
>
>Duke
>UNC (Carolina)
>NC State
>Wake Forest

>Fans are fanatical about the one they root for. It is crazy. The games are on in all stores, bars, restaurants, etc. Never saw anything like it anyplace else in the states where I've lived.
