Rivalries are one of the best parts of college sports. But while everyone knows about matchups like Texas-Oklahoma, Ohio State-Michigan, and Notre Dame-USC, what makes the rivalries great is that they can crop up anywhere.

Of course, one of the major rivalries in college basketball is Duke-UNC, but the Tar Heels are far from the only team that considers Duke a rival. Duke is rather unique in this regard, as many universities and their fans have a special dislike for the Blue Devils, even if the two schools do not have some kind of storied rivalry.
According to Yard Barker, you can count Michigan among those schools, and the satirical newspaper that the university publishes could not resist taking a shot at the Blue Devils. The paper is called The Every Three Weekly, and it is a satirical paper that gets published by the Wolverines.

Although Michigan and Duke do not really have a basketball rivalry anymore, it is still pretty clear that the Wolverines have some leftover disdain for the Blue Devils. They rank just behind the KKK and Boko Haram on the list, and although the entire newspaper is designed to be a joke, it still seems likely that these rankings will ruffle some feathers.
Part of the reason that so many schools and fans dislike Duke is due to their year-in, year-out success. The team is always ranked, and they never seem to have a down season, although they do occasionally disappoint during March Madness. Still, perhaps Duke will exact their revenge by putting Michigan on the schedule in the coming years.
