I'm over the UNC thing. Took me a decade or more, but I'm over it. Iowa and Michigan currently host my top hate spots.

I hate Iowa more than Duke. Sorry, not sorry.
Bobby Knight coaching tree and Grayson Allen.
Bruce Pearl and Fran McCaffery.
A lot of my Duke hate went out the door with Coach K. His ridiculous retirement tour was chefs kiss on that chapter for me.
Scheyer seems like a pretty solid dude. (This is subject to change)
Most acruate thing anyone's said on this board in a long time.

Lol, I like how you leave yourself some wiggle room for hating at a later date.
If Grandi goes to Duke I hope UI plays them in the ACC challenge, and I hope it's St. John's & Curbelo in the Gavitt games
Francis is not evil. He’s just fun to laugh at.
Recency bias, but he moved up my dislike scale with the handshake line incident. And besides, he's the father of several dislikable McCafferys.
The punchable face gene is strong in that clan.

This is too challenging for comfort. At least for me. These guys need some time to gel and develop. It would probably take at least the first month of the season for that to happen. Oh well, you can't beat the best if you don't play 'em.
We need to find our alpha. I have no idea who that will be.
There is no college or university called Kansas City. There is University of Missouri Kansas City or were they referring University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.
Most replies seem to be leaning the other way, but this here for me. Actually seems a bit easy, given the friendship and the blue blood opponent - might be different if Iowa were playing a 'neutral' opponent. Then again I compartmentalized my hate for Pearl specifically, more so than for Iowa.
And to the original poster, as one of those Illini on the other side of 50, thanks for making me feel extra old today!
Both were daggers, but for me Michigan in 89 hurt more than UNC in 05. Was still a student, young and with hope then. Way too jaded later (foul on Augie!).

Lot better than spending 3/4 of the non-con playing Austin Peay and Longwood and E. Tennessee State and so forth. Take it as a compliment. Pretty refreshing to know that the powers at be are inviting us to these types of games even when they know we've had basically the whole roster turnover this spring.

Generally dislike Connor and Fran but I gotta admit, Patrick lessened my reflexive dislike of anything ending in "McCaffery" when he tweeted about how ridiculous/absurd the RJ tech was in the Houston game. Believe it was more than once too if memory serves me right. I would without a doubt put Hunter Dickinson above that clan on the detest scale. That dude makes sure to live up to his last name every chance he gets.
