Since 2006, I've been a die hard Duke fan. I can't tell you how I got there, but somehow I did, and I've never gone back. From Greg Paulus, to Jon Scheyer, to Grayson Allen, I've loved watching Duke play. But now that I'm attending a college that is not Duke University, it's a struggle to be a Razorback and a Blue Devils fan. Here are some of the things I face:

1. Getting excited when I see someone else wearing Duke apparel

Surprisingly, since I've gotten to college, I've seen more people wearing Duke gear than ever before. And when I do see these people, they instantly become my best friends.

2. Being forced to hide my love

When I was packing up my belongings to bring to college, my mom tried to hide all of my Duke gear so that I could not bring it to Arkansas. No worries though, it was found and I am now able to wear my Duke apparel with pride.

3. Meeting someone who likes UNC

Whenever I meet someone who likes North Carolina, I just can't help but think "who has hurt you? Who has made you into this person?" Not to mention, the worst is when a UNC fan becomes your friend. Or is your mom.

4. The games are hard to find on TV in Fayetteville

It's not always easy to find the Duke games down here. Basketball is a lot easier to find than football or any other sport, but still can be a struggle at times.

5. When my actual college plays Duke

Since we are in different conferences (ACC and SEC), this is very rare. But when it does happen, it's one of the hardest decisions I am forced to face. No matter who I choose, betrayal will be in place.

As you can tell, being a divided fan is not easy. Please pray for me as I continue on this taxing journey. Oh, and go Blue Devils. 2017 National Champs, I'm calling it.
