True. That Iron Bowl rivalry is pretty nasty. I live in Alabama and you can feel the energy vibrating off of people around that time of year. It's craaaaazzy! BUT....This year is a perfect example as to why Duke/UNC is the best rivalry. Duke beat UNC in the Dean Dome..UNC beat Duke at Cameron. It goes back & forth more than one of the team goes on a stretch of wins. When teams go on stretches (3-5 years of one dominating the other), it kind of ceases to be a rivalry. Duke vs UNC continues to be a great showdown, consistently, every year because of the level of talent, coaches, and the state that both programs reside in. It is just an all-time classic rivalry.

UNC and Duke have consistently won titles and made final 4’s since the 90’s. 92 Duke/93 UNC, 09 UNC/ 10 Duke, 2015 Duke/2017 UNC and UNC played for the title in 2016. To win titles after one another in 3 different decades that’s consistency. Since 2000 UNC 7 final 4’s 3 championships Duke 5 Final 4’s 3 championships. That’s balance and in the rivalry with Bama and Auburn it’s very one sided as Auburn doesn’t consistently win enough. Lakers and Celtics rivalry was irrelevant from 1990-2007. UNC and Duke are 8 miles apart and have been battling top of the sport since coach K started coaching at Duke and he’s been there for 40 years.

1. I was born and raised in Alabama (my family are Alabama fans as the 1st non HBCU grad in my family graduated from the Univ of Alabama) 2. I attended Undergrad at Duke (1993-1997) 3. I attended Grad School at UNC-Chapel Hill (2002-2004) Rivalry perspective: 1. Alabama-Auburn: There is more pure disdain and constant bickering between Alabama-Auburn fans. Honestly, fans of either school actually get depressed when they lose to the other in football. I recall (in Montgomery, Alabama at the time) in the 8th grade at school at the end of Physical Education Class (Fall 1988), the Friday before the Iron Bowl, fans of both teams got on opposing sides and it was almost a fight of 100 students (Bama fans) vs 100 students (Auburn fans). It was that serious. 2. Duke-UNC: The disdain is not as serious in terms of utter dislike of the other. Students from both schools actually get along. Which rivalry is better: 1. Pure Disdain: Alabama-Auburn ***See below as Auburn is very inconsistent as a football program (e.g. more likely to go 11-1 in a season to 6-6 the next season which hurts the quality of the match-up)*** 2. Overall year in-year out quality of the programs: Duke-UNC. This basketball match-up is more likely to be between 2 teams that are legit championship contenders than is the Alabama-Auburn football matchup.
