Its not the sport, or the team that people hate the most about Duke. It is the fans (especially the students). The overriding attitude at Duke University is one of superiority and snobbishness. That is why everyone in the ACC hates them and the media that feeds the attitude.

Let me change that.
The players that have the same attitude about Duke as the students do, everyone hates. Mike Dunleavy, Christian Laetner, and J.J. Redick are likely the best examples.
Elton Brand hates the same stuff about Duke I do. He said so in a e-mail to a Duke student after a Duke student chastised him for leaving Durham early.

Some fans spend their time supporting their team...I spend my time supporting my team. I used to Hate Carolina but because they suck now I don't. As long as you Hate Duke it means they are good. No one hates a loser. EVERYONE hates a winner. P.S. The Brand email was proven a Hoax but if it makes you feel better so be it. Name a team that doesn't have jerk fans... (If any of you name YOUR team then I rest me case...Jerk! Just kidding. Beside Duke is going to have a down year so that just means you teams have a better chance....Or do they??? Roy Williams = 0 Rings, 0 Gold Medals, A Sh!tload of meaningless wins.

BTW, if the Brand letter was proven a hoax, I'm sorry i referenced it. Also, my problem is not with all Duke fans, it is with the fans of the mold I mentioned, I actully have a number of friends who are huge Duke fans, and they are good people. All schools have some jerk fans, I just believe at Duke those few fans (usually students and young alumni) control the atmosphere like they do at few other schools.

LMAO -Poleon UVA 1957 That wouldn't surprise me, Maryland fans don't claim to be Kennedyesque-I go between my oceanfront house in Maine and my Bel Air Manor-sort of people. Maryland has always had to work twice as hard to get half the recognition of most other ACC schools.

Sorry, I should have said Some fans spend their time hating other teams...I spend my time supporting my team. But I now realize how assinine that sounds so ...sorry. I do agree that the students as a whole seem to be asses but I still contend that, that is because of the winning percentage. Over the last 15 years they have been Ranked #1 like 23% of the time( I may be off on the time frame). So even if you fall into the camp that the Ranking is bogus, you can see why braggers and assish type kids would want to go to or support that type of success. I have been a fan since before the success but I wouldn't trade the 3 Nat Titles and the Final Fours and the #1 rankings for all the humble fans in the world.

Man...That is sad if you hate Duke Football. BTW they are gonna double their win total this season!!! And besides All we gotta do is beat UNC and that makes our season.... We did that last season! I was at the GT game last year when we beat GT ..It was like the first ACC win in 200 years. (Actually several years)... The atmosphere is much different at a Football game. It's the true longtime fans there. Plus Tix are only 10 Bucks. I go to a lot of Football Games. Winning a game that you are supposed to lose is a great feeling. In Hoops I don't get that feeling very much and unfortunantly I don't get it very much with the football team either but for different reasons (Sorry I got off topic)

True that, I was at the Carolina game last year in Keenan, and that was one of the sweetest wins I have ever experienced. Less than two weeks till Football season!! My dad and I are making the trip to Annapolis on 9/4, I can't wait

i dont like duke for a few reasons
number 1 would be the fans who are still stuck at a high school leadership conf. i can understand cheering for your team, but they get annoying, not to mention crossing the line such as chanting "plo plo plo" at steve kerr in 84 after his father was assassinated in palestine and holding up family portraits of scott williams family after his father killed his mother an then himself.... that rubs me the wrong way right there
i dont like them because of the fact that bonaventure gets punished severely for pretty much the same violation that duke had with magette and they get nothing
i dont like duke because jj redick is a cocky motherf**ker but once someone calls him a name he starts crying
i dont like duke because coach k publicizes his offer to the lakers, when in actuallity roy williams and tom izzo were offered the job first, and because coach k portrays this image but dont sit within 20 rows of the bench because you wont go 10 seconds without a line of profanity that would make anyone blush
i dont like duke because of yes the snobbish attitude
and basically i hate duke because im a carolina fan, even though we have a 123-94 lead all time in head to head
i will say i respect the success that they have had and what coach k can build, although i do not respect most of his players

Felton that is bullshit. Duke never played Arizon while Kerr was there. Here are our games versus Zona. It was USC that taunted Kerr after his father died. There are shitty fans for every team in every sport. We always seem to hate the teams the win the most.
W Duke 95 vs. Arizona 87 11/26/97
L Duke 96 Arizona 103 02/24/91
W Duke 78 Arizona 76 02/25/90
L Duke 75 Arizona 77 02/26/89
L Duke 85 Arizona 91 12/30/87
W Duke 78 Arizona 47 12/16/61
