8 miles. And no I'm not talking about the Eminem movie. 8 miles is all that separates the 2 schools involved in the BEST rivalry in all of sports. As is often the case the UNC vs. Duke game tonight will decide the ACC regular season championship and start the chatter this week about who will win the ACC tournament championship. But for me this game is what sports and rivalries are all about.
What do you think is the best rivalry in sports? Yankees/Red Sox? Michigan/OSU? LeBron/4th quarter? None of these matches the intensity and consistent excellence that is UNC/Duke. And that is why even the most casual of sports fan will be glued to a television set tonight to watch it play out one more time.
