Duke vs. North Carolina

[PeteZaHut]

I am a freshmen at Duke University. If you follow college sports, you might know that a very popular cheer at Duke is “Go to hell, Carolina.” Should I not participate in this? I don’t actually mean for anyone to go to hell, and I think vast majority of students would say the same thing, but I know that’s not something to joke around with.

There’s worse out there…

I see two problems:

First, there’s no problem with an intense rivarly, but methinks the perspective is distorted for a lot of people, college students, alumi, and regular fans alike. It’s a school, an institution. It’s not a living entity. People tend to associate themselves too closely to a big business that is the modern university system.

Second, it’s just plain rude. Whatever happened to respect? You respect your opponents, even though your goal is to beat the p out of them. This is not respect, it’s not pride “We’re better than you are”.

Last, methinks it shows a general disrespect for the public in general.

OK, that was three things.

Well, Duke sucks, so I wouldn’t worry.

DD grad from UNC, SIL from State, so I think I will sit this one out.

Neither phrase is even catchy. If those phrases are the best cheers that a Duke or SC student can come up with, I would fear to even consider them for gainful employment. Absolutely no creativity.

When at a sporting event, the cheers are hardly unanimous. I don’t think anyone will notice if you don’t participate in that particular cheer.

That was my first thought. It doesn’t even seem catchy. One of my friend’s high school used this cheer:

“Hey, Hey, that’s okay. You will work for us one day!”

That’s the cheer they used to save face when they were losing.

I don’t like this usage of hell. We as Christians should be aware that this is no joking matter, and if we knew what it was like, I am sure that we would never use it lightly again.

Transfer to UNC immediately.

No one likes Duke. They’re Devils after all!
