One of the best things about the UNC-Duke rivalry is the fans of the two respective schools. For the most part we both have loyal, intelligent fans who enjoy nothing more than to engage in debate and discourse. From discussion of the similarities between Coach K and certain members of the Muridae family, to reviews of Rashad McCants' latest acting role as a bisexual, cross dressing shoplifter, it's the conversation that occurs between fans that makes this the best rivalry in all of college sports. That's why when building this site, we wanted to encourage fan participation and some loyalty among our readers. We've been working on a number of features to make it both easier and more enjoyable for visitors to this website.
Registering
To take advantage of these features, the first thing you will need to do is register for the website. This will make commenting easy, as you won't have to reenter your name and email address every time, but it also provides some additional benefits. We've made registration convenient.
- Simply click the Register button in the toolbar on the right side of the page. You'll be prompted with a modal window like the one you see to the right.
- Enter your desired Username, and your Email Address (we will not share it with anyone)
- Click Register. Your password will be emailed to you. (You will be able to change it after your first login. See below)
That's all there is to it! Now on to the fun stuff.

Team Affiliation
You can also choose which university you place your allegiance behind to further customize your experience. Notice in Figure 3 above that my username is highlighted in Carolina Blue on the comments I make. This is because I have selected UNC for my Team Affililation. To choose your team affilliation:
- Click on the Edit Profile button on the toolbar in the right sidebar.
- Scroll to the part of the section titled Extra Profile Information

I’m trying to decide whether I should stay neutral or go dark blue. Will has already compromised our managerial integrity, so maybe I should take the plunge…

It’s not like people don’t already know you as “that guy that started Seth Curry Saves Duke.” Maybe you should go for the dark blue to help cancel out my overwhelming UNC bias.

I reformed completely the minute this blog was launched. Sometimes now when I look out at a field, I can’t even tell which team is which. I’m color blind.

With two dark blue posts and two light blue posts, I feel compelled out of school pride to swing the balance the Carolina way. (see what I did there?)

I accept as true with each of the tips you may have announced in your posting. They may be really persuasive and may certainly operate. Nevertheless, your content are way too swift for novices. Is it possible you you should extend these a bit out of following time period? Just post.
