This (Non) Sporting Life: Duke Vs. Carolina 2026 -Part 1

This is My (Non) Sporting Life, my blog post about sports from a guy who does not know much about sports.

Or care.

I do no care! 

Last night was the first match up between the Duke Blue Devils and the North Carolina Tarheels Men's Basketball teams.

My wife Andrea is a Carolina fan.  She really REALLY cares about her team.  It's a life long passion. Her Carolina fandom is a core component of her reason for living.

I am allegedly a Duke fan because.... why the hell not?

For 39 minutes, Duke was winning this damn thing.

Yay, Duke!

But college basketball games are not 39 minutes long.  

They last for 40 minutes.

And in the last minute...

Carolina ties up the game and with 4/10ths of a second, Seth Trimble launches a 3 pointer which goes in and...

And for the first time the entire game, Carolina has the lead.

And the win! 

You know, I tell you I don't care. I don't have the same depth of feeling for my team that Andrea has for her's but....

What the fuck! Duke was supposed to win this thing!

NO! 

I am not a sports guy and I do not care. 

Fine, let Carolina have their win in their little sportsball game thingy! See if I care.

'Cause I don't! 


Damn it!
