“State or UNC?”

It’s a trick question. If someone asks “State or UNC” the answer is always State, because a Carolina person will most likely a) call UNC “Carolina” and b) not ask you about State in the first place; they’ll ask “Duke or Carolina?”

And of course the answer to “Duke or Carolina” is always Carolina, because the Duke person won’t ask about your loyalty at all; they’ll just start talking about their hometown in Connecticut.

And should any Wake Forest people be present, they will try to join the conversation like so many eager, evangelical Baptist puppies whose owners have trained them to bark at minorities, and you can ignore them.

Trying real hard to catch up with South Carolina in the race to see which Carolina can be the most embarrassing Carolina.

I have created my magnum opus.

It’s a North Carolina word ladder, where each 4-letter word is a change from the previous by one letter, and most of the words have to do with North Carolina.

Go Play!

Petition to get the Charlotte Bobcats to change their name to the Charlotte Hornets

Now that New Orleans is changing the original Hornets franchise to the… Pelicans - no seriously - We think the Bobcats need to reconnect with the community’s wants.

And what this community wants is the 90’s.

Georgetown, UConn, Indiana, and Kansas

are the only teams outside of the ACC that have beaten both Duke and UNC since 2001.

 If you like Randy Travis and/or you like the Avett Brothers, this was made for you. A whole hour of singing each other’s songs together. 

I also made this quiz for you to pick out the real North Carolina counties from a bunch of fake ones for no particular reason at all.
