What is a Tar Heel?\nThe University not only uses the nickname "Tar Heels," but the entire state does as well. One version of the nickname's origin has the name first being applied to North Carolinians during the Civil War. One record talks of a battle in Virginia, where their supporting column retreated, but North Carolina troops fought alone. The victorious troops were asked in a condescending tone by some Virginians, who had retreated, "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" The response came quickly: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The Virginians asked: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The reply: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."\n\nstoried nickname originated during the War of Northern Aggression, and according to a 1912 newspaper, the term was first heard in Virginia between 1862 and 1863. According to the article:\n\n    \n "The designation was applied in jest to North Carolina about the camp-fires, following the custom of naming the soldiers from several states after the most distinctive product of that state. At the time, tar was perhaps North Carolina's best known product, and by a very easy change, the troops from this state were called 'Tar Heels'. In a like manner, troops from the lower portion of South Carolina were called 'Rice Birds.' It was a very common remark about the camp-fires for one soldier to shout to another as a third approached: 'Look and see if he's got any tar on his heels!'. The North Carolina soldiers accepted the name in good graces, declaring that like tar they held fast to whatever ground they stood, 'stuck' to what they began, and left their marks wherever they went…"\n                                                                                     Lenoir News,  4/12/1912  (NC)

My favorite college basketball team is Duke. \n\nI hate North Carolina and most of the other teams in the ACC

I prefer to watch Cuse, just because their team isn't comprised of supposedly some of the best talent in the NCAA, they have to work for theirs, UNC is supposed to be good year in and year out.

Duke and UNC put on a good show Sunday.Even though UNC beat Duke that doesn't mean a thing.Duke is better and probably will all ways be better until coach K leaves, but that will be a pretty long time and Roy Williams probably will leave first.

HA HA HA......\n\nDuke is a four-letter word. AND dukeainttheshizzle. I believe ya'll lost, to a team who did not have a single starter returning of a noational title team. To a team that lost 93% of their scoring offense from last season. To a team that is lead by a tall lanky kid from Mizzou. To the University of North Carolina Tarheels.

Boilermakers are literally that:  makers of boilers.  Crimson tide refers to the color of the team's jerseys:  red.  Utes refers to the Ute Indian tribe of Utah.  Sooners refers to those people who jumped the gun and got land before the others when the Cherokee Strip was opened for settlement.  Huster is short for Cornhusker.  Lobo is a desert wolf.  Illini refers to the Illinois Indian tribe of Illinois\n\nI don't know Tarheels or Hokey

US News & World Reports ranks it in with National Universities.  They have them in their third tier.  There are only four tiers.  This means that it is a decent school and selective, but not one of the great universities.  It would be comparable to a state school that is not the best state school.  In other words, it is not as good as UNC-Chapel Hill, but is as good as UNC-Greensboro.  It isn't as good as the University of Illinois, but is as good asw Illinois State, etc.\n\nGood college -- yes.  Really good college -- No.
