No, I grew up in Boone, but most of my friends were Hawk fans then and a huge number of my friends are Hawk fans now. I don't talk trash but I think it's funny when they do and it doesn't bother me. The rivalry is supposed to be fun and the ribbing and talking out of one's *** mostly just amuses me.
Edit: Now my wife though, she hates the Hawks and would love to see nothing more than them lose every game that they ever play.
