At least it's not Dook...

OK, the Tarheels might not be National Champs this year, but neither will the Dookies.

Probably I don't understand. My team ( alma mater ) is Michigan State. While I root for them first, if they are out I support any other Big Ten team including University of Michigan.

Duke is in the same state as North Carolina ( I think ) so if North Carolina is out isn't Duke a good alternate team to support?

Yes, they are from the same state. In fact, only about 12 miles apart. Since both teams are ultra competitive year-in and year-out, an intense rivalry has developed between the two schools. No self-respecting Tarheel would root for the Dookies. Of course, don't expect any Dookie to be wearing Carolina blue anytime soon, either. Some other ACC team, sure, I'll root for them. But Duke, never.
