there is a book written about the Dook/Carolina rivalry by a Carolina fan. I believe the name of it is 'To Hate Like This Is To Be Happy Forever'. This is far from word-for word, but in it, hate is expressed in good-natured fashion toward dook university, its BB team, and its fans, told from the author's perspective.

The final chapter ends with the authors very young and impressionable son asking, 'daddy, why do you say such mean things about those people?, and he realizes that things have suddenly gotten very real. It would be really wrong to mislead his impressionable child about a group of people simply because of who they were fans of, and it would be just as wrong to not be completely honest in providing an answer that would certainly leave a lasting impression. So he thought it over and decided it best to say....

...'because, son, duke people are just really awful people'.

That is exactly the title of the book and it's by Will Blythe. A great read.
