Does anybody know why North Carolina has 2 NCAA teams, with the names Devils and Demons ?
Duke Blue Devils & Wake Forest Demon Deacons
How did 2 college programs in the same state, happen to come up with such dubious names ? Is there a story to this, or is it mere coincidence ?
Most college teams have wholesome American names like: Wolverines, Warriors, Buckeyes, Rockets, Longhorns, Spartans, Sooners, Lions, Volunteers, Runnin Rebels, Gophers, Badgers, Sycamores, Gators, Jayhawks, Cardinals, Tigers, etc.
This is a sports-related question, but it is specific to the state of North Carolina. That's why I didn't posted this question in the sports section.
Is there some sort of folklore or story, that answers this question ?

Oh my...oh my. Look into the history of both those nicknames before you go looking for evil.
This is why I stay on one side of town.....few miles down the road in Blue-heaven!
