I've been wanting to start this thread for a while just out of curiosity.

1st of all this by no means is a reflection on any Duke fan. Duke fans are diverse and I think that's a good thing. And of course we are not all Duke alumni. I would like to think the percentage of alumni that post here is very low. Some of us have been fans ever since we can remember and more than likely it's because of our dads or other family members. Some of us are fans because of the succes of Coach K. That is a positive thing also because more than likely your children will be Duke fans and expand the fan base. This bandwagon bull is just that. BULL. Bandwagon fans as I define it jump from team to team depending on the success of that team. I know some. I know one who went from unc to NCSU in the early to mid 70's, back to unc and now is a Duke fan. That's a bandwagon fan . This is a poll.

 

[DukeDenver]

I follow Bball, Soccer and Lacrosse. I’ll watch the football team if its a big game.

 

[Duke937]

I’m really just big on Basketball. But I’ll follow and root for them in all sports.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Duke football and basketball! Keep up here and there with the baseball team. Will follow the baseball team a little more extensively now that I have the ACC Network in my local market.

 

[QC Dukie]

All Duke all sports.

 

[Quavarius]

Duke basketball since the 98-99 season

Grandmother was a huge college b-ball fan. She was a unc alumni who loved duke basketball. She put me in front of the tv in 91 to watch a game. Been a fan since. Haven’t missed a game (tv)since jj was a sophomore. College basketball is my favorite sport and if I watch something different it’s the Braves, falcons, or a huge college football game. If I am being honest, I could care less about other duke sports.
Also, been coming to this forum for about 4 years. This is my first post though.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Love all things Duke, from the time I was a little kid that's where I wanted to go to college but of course choices changed as I got older but my love for the school never changed. My moms heart Dr was from Duke and he is the reason I became a Duke fan in the late 80s. I follow basketball more closely, then football, lacrosse and baseball, but keep an eye on the other sports from time to time.

 

[PixelDevil]

Not all Duke sports, but a lot of them. Obviously basketball. Big on football and wrestling. Follow the lacrosse team. I’ll keep up with the soccer team. And I’ve been following the baseball team’s past 2 playoff runs, but I’d be lying if I said i followed it anymore than that

[Duke Blu]

Duke basketball only. I’ve been a fan since 86. I was 9 years old. I grew up in Union County New Jersey. My Mom was friends with Alaa Abdelnaby’s family, Mom’s told me about him playing for Duke, I watched, and have been a fan ever since. Then Hurley (I considered going to St Anthony), went there and I of course already knew who he was, so that solidified it. I’m 42 now. I’ve been to the campus on many occasions, have taken my kids, NCAA tournaments, MSG of course. Would love for my kids to go to Duke one day. Both are very good runners. Although, they’ve been to Stanford and as of now, they love that campus more than Duke and Princeton, where they’ve also been quite often.

As somebody who doesn’t live around the NC region it’s hard for me to like Duke in any other sport besides basketball. Games just aren’t on tv in my area enough for me to get into it. Basketball is also the only college sport i passionately care about. I watch football but i don’t have a team. Just teams i don’t like(Alabama and Ohio st lol)

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I mostly watch only men’s basketball but I pull for Duke to win in all sports

 

[lyonhawk]

I’m in my late 30s and grew up in a time when every game wasn’t watchable somewhere so I became a fan of the teams I could watch the most, Notre Dame in football and Duke in basketball.

 

[gottagonow]

I pull for everything Duke and very much dislike everything with cheats in the name.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Big fan of Duke basketball, but like others on here will follow the other sports teams and watch when they are playing on tv (football, baseball, and lacrosse)

 

[BeerPoisoning]

All sports.

That being said, I only really place an emphasis on basketball.

 

[tate12]

Became a Duke fan in 1964 as a ten year old watching the Jeff Mullins led basketball team. I am a Duke fan in all sports and live and die with the football team every bit as much as the basketball team. I used to have season tickets to football and attend soccer games when the Devils are at Davidson, which is near me. I follow them in lacrosse and baseball and any other sport they play. Used to make regular trips to Durham to watch women;s basketball. Simply, I love the Blue Devils.

 

[Canadian Dukie]

Basketball only for me,dont watch must college sports at all except basketball

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

rooting interest in all, but mens and womens basketball, LAX, and football

 

[Willcampbell]

If Duke is in it, I'm rooting for them. But in order of favorites:
Men's Hoops
Baseball
Men's lax
Football.

I went with "All Duk". I like Peking Duck the best.

Just kidding. I'm all in on all Duke Sports.

LOL. I saw where I mispelled it and tried to edit it but just couldn't figure it out. My lap top is in the repair shop and was using my tablet. Peking Duck. Hilarious. I guess this will bring on the same reponses as finny does. Now that's finny. I don't care who you are. OFC

If it's true that laughing out loud adds years to your life, we will live to 100 for sure! OFC

I didn’t even notice it and I tend to notice typos pretty easily most of the time even if I don’t point it out lol

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I am all in on everything DUKE!!!!!
OFC

 

[sheyduke]

Watch all things Duke. Football, Basketball is my favorite and even baseball. My middle son likes soccer and recently he’s gotten into LAX( which I have no clue how to play or anything about the game). Not being funny but when he said something about it I was like,” isn’t that the game where they have nets like hockey and the players look they are trying to catch bugs with nets?”

 

[spike05rk]

All sports since 1965.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I love basketball, and played pickup into my 40's when 3 back surgeries put an end to it, and that's the sport I care about most. I also like football too, but not to the extent of basketball. And I check on baseball, lacrosse, tennis, etc., but hardly ever watch.
So, I pull for Duke in all sports, but basketball is, and always will be my passion. Duke basketball is the ultimate, and that's before K, and after K. Go Duke!!!
But honestly, I've never been a Duk fan.

OFC

 

[Liftee]

When I was at Duke, there was a basketball player named Bill Suk. For obvious reasons, he did not pronounce his name to rhyme with Duk.

I remember him. He pronounced it Sook I believe the same way some ignorant folks pronoune Duke. OFC

 

[FearTheBeard]

I actively root for football and basketball. Watch every basketball game and as many football games as I can get. I root for the lacrosse and baseball teams but only by checking the box score. The rest of sports I don’t really follow any team.

 

[Tlass]

I Follow BBall (men and women) and Football mostly, but I root for any and all DUKE teams(horse shoes, chess, bowling, paper football (anything DUKE baby).. LOL.

 

[ticket2ride04]

A fan of Duke.

 

[Dukiegurl12]

Duke fan since 1979! ⚪️

 

[dukesince91]

Pull for Duke in all sports, but mainly basketball and football. My wife accidentally bought me a Duke Baseball shirt and was going to take it back. I said no, I pull for them in all sports.

 

[skysdad]

Thanks guys for the responses. It's about what I thought it would be. I am grateful to those who are just basketball fans. You are great Duke fans. What I want to know is who is the fan that voted for other sport and what sport is it?OFC
