[Vision2020] North Carolina takes it all!

[Joan Opyr]

And we used to say of North Carolina in relation to Virginia and South Carolina that it was "A valley of humility between two mountains of conceit!"

As we used to say in Virginia of any North Carolina school, "They
shore do a good job of teaching the 3 Rs: readin, ritin, and the road
to Richmond!"

<excerpt>Dear "Duke" Livingston,

  

Ah, yes, Duke . . . the best university money can buy.  Tobacco money,
that is.  What I especially like about Duke is how it was designed to
look like Oxford University; workmen were paid to sand down the
centers of Duke's stone steps so that they'd have that "genuine"
medieval feel.  (And you must just adore your most famous alumna,
Senator Elizabeth "Liddy" Dole.  She's such a peach!  Ugh!)

  

Duke, with its Yankee professors, Yankee students, and Yankee
basketball coach.  Duke with its "Harvard: The Duke of the North"
T-shirts.  Duke, with that little box on its admissions applications
that asks "Would you still be able to attend if you did not receive
financial aid?"  I believe that box is in the shape of a garbage can,
isn't it?  Fie on Duke!

  

When does a proud graduate of NCSU love the Tarheels?  Only when they
win the NCAA.  The rest of the time, we Wolfpack fans know that the
only classes offered at Chapel Hill are in Marxist Theory and how to
roll a nice, tight joint.

  

Cracker?  Well, I crack me up, if that's what you mean.  I'm a
laughing-on-the-outside kind of clown.

PS: Gonzaga will win the NCAA, Brother Carl, when Bing Crosby rises
from his grave to sing a duet of "The Discovery Channel Song" with the
Bloodhound Gang.  In a word, nevah!  That NCAA trophy will go on
living South of the Mason-Dixon for many years to come.  It must like
our sunny weather . . .

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>OK.  That's it.</fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>The Chapel Hill Gang wins a title and
gets Roy Williams his first NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.  
They sneak ahead of Duke, by four championships to three, to compound
a bad situation.  And then, a Wolfpack alum feels the need to
celebrate the UNC title AND denigrate my Blue Devils?!!!</fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>Joan, Joan, Joan. </fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>Have you forgotten that the Tar Heels
would smugly refer to themselves as THE University of North Carolina
and cheer "if you can't go to college, go to State"?  How many times
did you gag over that pitiful, pastel, baby blue, UNC color that
overruns the entire state, in t-shirts from the Beach to the mountains
and every mall and BBQ joint in between?  Why feed Tar Heel
Nation's mistaken sense of superiority?  Have you forgotten that
infernal bumper sticker on every other motor vehicle in the state:  
"If This Isn't Heaven, Why did God make the Sky Carolina Blue?"</fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>You cheer a victory for the "Home
state," but say a Duke championship would be the "worst" thing?  Are
not my Devils the third point in the Triangle (Durham, Raleigh, and
Chapel Hill, all within 20 miles or less of each other, for you
northwesterners), and also within your "home state"?  Like Jimmy V, we
Dukies are just looking for a hug, too.</fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>Sure, Duke imported a few Yankees for
diversity, "damn Yankees," as my NC-native roomie referred to me on
more than one occasion.  SOMEBODY had to compete with the Tar Heels
and give them a sense of humility, since the Wolf Pack wouldn't.  Is
this unwarranted, spiteful attack on my Devils just a result of pent
up frustration from Duke beating NC State like a drum for 20 years? </fontfamily>

  

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param>You Cracker.</fontfamily>
