    Sounds just like my mom.....but you replace "Carolina" with "Robb".

    Me thinks a change in those lyrics from "go" to "come" would be more appropriate. I have been to Cameron, It is is no fun for opposing teams or fans.

    Duke is favored by 9.  Carolina has had several inconsistent games this season.  Duke should win and I'm guessing they will cover but I don't have @SGH's $$ so I am not investing directly in the outcome. 
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    9 is a lot of points to give up.

     I had a chance to play some golf with both Coach Smith and Coach "K" back in the day. Both said the same thing. None of that matters to either team on game day. The close and crazy finishes over the years seems to give that reasoning credibility.

    @JohnInCarolina. I was trying to find the stat on the amount of times when one has been ranked #1 and the other has pulled off the upset. The all time stats on the winning percentage of these two teams is impressive. 

    From Wikipedia,

    Combining for ten national championships over the last 36 years, Duke and North Carolina have captured 28% of the national championships, or greater than one every four years. Over the past 18 years, one of the two teams has been the AP pre-season #1 ranked team in the country 8 times (44% of the time). Since 1977–78, Duke or North Carolina has been in the pre-season top three 28 times (70%). Over the entirety of the AP poll (the past 69 years), the teams have been in the pre-season top four 69% of the time. Over this same period, one has been #1 18 times, making it an almost 3 in 10 chance that Duke or North Carolina starts the year at #1 in the last 50+ years.

    Yep, they’re both powerhouses.  Quite a legacy.

    This game at Cameron is one of the hardest tickets to get in all sports, not just college sports.  Cameron doesn’t seat that many people relative to most basketball stadiums.

    I'm not a big college hoops fan but to be in Cameron for this would be incredible.

    I heard some crazy scalper #'s .That atmosphere is electric in there and the kids are some of the best fans in all of sports. Last time I was there my ears rang for days.TV does not do it justice. It's obvious why the school has not caved to the $ pressure and built a bigger venue.

    It's an amazing experience.  I've been to other heated rivalry games (most notably Canadiens-Bruins in the original Garden) and I don't think other north american sports have anything that come close. 

    Now I just need to get the opportunity (and convince the wife that I can take it) to see a Clasico at Camp Nou, just for the sake of comparison.
