- Actually, a good part of this curse could be thanks to the ACC schedule-
- makers. After playing Duke the first time, Ga.Tech played...UNC. After playing
- Duke the first time, UVa played...UNC. After playing Duke the first time, FSU
- plays...UNC. Similarly, the very next game after these teams play Duke the
- second time, will be against UNC.
-
- So, Duke wears these teams out with hard-fought, emotional games, and
- UNC gets them on the let-down. Seems like UNC has something of an advantage
- in the conference race...
