UNC/Duke & the Superbowl. The 2 biggest shows in the sports world. The Super bowl should be good but it really doesnt matter who wins the UNC/DUKE game, they are both terrible. First time since Eisenhower that neither is ranked.

I think the bball game you speak of is quite a stretch to call biggest in the spots world. In a few counties of NC? Sure, but not the county, not the state, not the US and dang sure not the world.

The world is awful big place and I can bet money most countries couldn't care less about tobacco row bball game more of the overall world would care more about soccer just to be honest about it. College bball is my second favorite sport but truth is unless your connected to this rivalry most of average USA watch college for March madness

I dont really follow sports on the global level. Dont really do that great following on a national level. But I saw a highlight on a news channel about a soccer game having to be postponed because of "fan interruptions". I bet those guys dont have a clue there was a basketball game in North Carolina yesterday!

I don't think it's any more of a rivalry than FSU/Miami. Want to see a REAL rivalry? Go to a Red Sox Yankess game, or go see the Iron Bowl.

Then there is soccer. That's a whole nother level most in the US will never fully understand or appreciate the loyalty to.

Bottom line is outside of a few counties in NC, most could care less about that game, or that "rivalry". Those who do camp out for days, or plan weeks ahead for the game no question. I just don't think it's all that many people.

Carolina Duke is most definitely one of the top rivalries in all of sports. People from all over the country watch it as well as different parts of the world. As far as how much fun it is......it’s the top rival in all of sports. Yankees-red Sox is the greatest rivalry in sports history but it has lost its punch in the last 10 years. Even when unc or Duke or both aren’t that great that rivalry just about always delivers. There has never been 2 teams that close and that good that hate each other the way those 2 do. If you’ve ever experienced it you understand compared to the others. My wife went to auburn and we’ve been to the iron bowl multiple times but it is no comparison to Carolina Duke. And FSU-Miami used to be a premier rivalry but it’s not so much any more. Same for Ohio st Michigan.

Red Sox and Yankees is a stupid serious off the chart rivalry.....
My dad says you do NOT mention the Yankees without a 4 letter word first in any Boston bar or restaurant.
My daughter had a date canceled cause she had on NY Yankees baseball cap and the boy was a Red Sox fan....
Yeah I think that Duke UNC rivalry is confined to this state only. I dont see it being anything big
