It is weird for me in rivalries...
My dad played football for Wake Forest... been to their games since a young-un.
My uncle played for Wake too.
My other two uncles played at UNC.
One cousin played football at Duke under Spurrier, then went into the USFL.
Another cousin played WR for Duke.
When I was in my early teens my football/baseball coach at the Boy's Club was a die-hard NC State fans and took us to many football and some basketball games.
My daughter has only pulled for NC State since she was a child... she liked the Wolves.
In football, only go for Wake against all the others. In fact always go Wake first.
But I will pull for any ACC team against anybody else... but I don't like FlaSt or Miami very much at all. Funny... but I have always like Pitt since the Dan Marino days.
I almost walked on for Clemson baseball, but went to a small school in N.C. instead.
In basketball I go for Wake first... then it is a tossup. For some reason I don't like DUKE basketball (probably because they are usually good) and go for UNC over Duke almost every time. I don't really know why... maybe it is the pretty uniforms
. I usually go for State over UNC... another I don't know why.
Any ACC team over anybody else. Sometimes I don't like VaTech, FlaSt, BC, Miami... but I don't care too much at all one way or another.
I have seen UNC, NC State, and Duke in baseball personally
. And in college- we beat Duke and East Carolina my freshman year
. My cousins were at the Duke game and I was playing against several of my High School former team mates vs ECU.
aka... Sport's Freak
. I just like to compete... and to see competition
