I think people forget how big the 1989 ACC Championship game was. For me, that is definitely above last night's game in all-time rivalry rankings.

I remember that game well - UNC had lost the ACC championship game to dook the previous year in close, tough, heartbreaking game (I think the score was 65-61) and we really needed that 1989 win over dook. That was a really rough, intense, physical game. I watched the game at my grandparent's house and after it was over I went outside and just yelled "YEAH!". A really good day, back when winning the ACC Tournament still meant something.

It was rough in school back then. So much trash talking.

It was cathartic winning that championship.
 
Didn’t J.R. Reid knock Ferry to the floor and then stand over him and yell, “Take that Mr. Naismith!”

Also, in the 1989 ACC Tourney, ncsulol became the first #1 seed to NOT make the semifinals.

Church could get pretty rough too.

I remember a sermon by a brave young kind of left leaning preacher about some midEast conflict or another-yellow cake war I think
A lady in the congregation had a son in service-in combat
Young preacher was gone soon
It was painful all around

My step father got fired from 4 separate churches, three over integration and once over inviting migrants to church on Annie Armstrong day which was a Sunday that Southern Baptists set aside to raise money for home missions. Twice the chairmen of the deacons stood up after the sermon and demanded his resignation in public, once on a day that the SBC had set aside as Race Relations day. The other time involving race after an official deacon's meeting and I'm still convinced, an unofficial one when they burned a cross in our front yard. I was at UNC when the migrant thing happened so I don't know how that went down.

That's how you get to go to four grammar schools, as they were known at the time, and three different high schools while never leaving ENC. Shit, come to think of it, it might not have been just my personality that put a halt in my social development.
 
In re: Pettiness of Duke fans. Not long after the 1982 Championship Game, I happened to be in Morehead City for some family event. My cousin was married to a guy who was a real big Duke Fan. As soon as I arrived, this guy came over to me and said something like, hey, the UNC team was in town recently and I got you their autographs. Then he handed me a piece of paper with four X's on it and one "Matt." I gave him my best, "Are you off your meds again?" look, took the piece of paper, folded it, and put it in my top pocket. Later when he was dying, I visited him in the hospital a couple of times. He was more gracious during those visits.
