I grew up down the road from Wilmington and I would have to say there isn't any hate of the Gamecocks. It's more of the run off of the UNC Tarholes supremacy act towards us.
Maybe so..but I attended UNC-W in 2012-2014 working on a 3rd degree and the Seahawk fans I came across, and attended classes with, were pretty vocal in their dislike of the Gamecocks. Small sample size compared to the entire student body, I realize, but it surprised me that ~3/4 of the ones I had direct contact with voiced their dislike of Carolina when I'd wear anything Gamecock related or when they noticed the Gamecock decals on my car.
On the other hand, it also surprised me how many fellow Gamecocks lived in the Wilmington area. I'd see vehicles sporting Gamecock decals, flying the flags, and wearing Gamecock apparel pretty regularly.
ETA: And you definitely have a point with it being an issue exacerbated by the UNC contingency.

You're lucky, you only had to go to class with them. Try and pick better friends like ECU & Coastal alumni and fans. Anybody in the ACC are a bunch of egotistical jerks.
Personally I've never had issues with UNC-W fans. My only bro got his undergrad from there and my only sis lives in Wilmington. It's a great place to go to school and live.
Good luck to them in 2017!
