Rivalries

TIME IDEAS

Rivalries are fun, but often obscure the reality that rivals may have the same nemesis.

The Florida State Seminole men’s basketball team knocked off not one, but two of the colleges that claim they are the only true blue in the Carolinas. I live in the “Triangle” in North Carolina, and the region was shell-shocked to witness FSU beating Duke in the semi-finals of the ACC tournament, then UNC-Chapel Hill in the finals. This accomplishment is almost like Hailey’s Comet, apparently.
