Petty but I don't care. Makes me smile whenever Duke, UNR, or UCLA go down.
That charge call on Greg Anthony forever changed the landscape of Duke basketball
When Duke loses - it doesn't improve our record.
To hold a grudge against the last team to beat us in the Final Four (that was over 30 years ago) is entirely pathetic -
Its pathetic to even consider them as our rival (that was ancient history)
We are not on their level at all - I don't hate them for that
I respect Duke for being everything we ARE NOT
We should've had a lot of other bad romances to Hate other teams by now - We are still hung up on the one failed relationship we had with a blue blood. A long long time ago. Before any of the players were born.
the fact that we have to go back over 30 years to have good reason to hate a team is embarrassing.

I've lost most of my disdain for Duke.
My ex father-in law was a Duke grad, and I sat and watched Duke games with him. He was oblivious to the fact that so many people hated Duke, it was kind of funny. I also work with a Duke grad now. Both are good guys. My co worker is fully aware of the hate. Also he is one of the few people I can talk college basketball with, so I am grateful for that. Most don't follow col BB around here.
I have never rooted for Duke, just became somewhat indifferent to them.
A part of me does get a little happy when they lose.

"Both are good guys."
My Dad worked with a couple of ex-Nazi German Immigrants. They, also, were good guys.
For me it’s not so much the FF loss to Duke (we curb-stomped them the year prior and set numerous championship records in the process) but one can’t help but enjoy watching a team lose when their fan base is so cocky (generally speaking of course). They’re just fun to root against. Still nowhere near the pleasure of watching UNR lose.
