Print-- Brittany, honey, you got skills, I'll give you that.
N.C. State continues to think that four consecutive years of last-minute lucky wins over us in football constitute a rivalry. UNC makes sure to condemn N.C. State’s insistence that they are our rivals, but our behavior says quite the contrary.
Painting the free expression tunnel practically screams that we acknowledge them as worthy competitors. This is not necessary. That school dulls in comparison to us in every aspect, so the "not our rivals" chant is not needed. We are going to too much trouble to prove UNC is better, and the recent painting of the free expression tunnel shows a lack of class.
Perfectly on point, but the name needs work. I'd have gone with Chester Turlington III or something like that.
-- Are they still talking about the "Wolfpack" issue down in New Orleans? Yes, yes they are. A commenter on this article says that the name comes from Ignatius of Loyola's family crest, which features a couple of wolves shaking hands in front of a cauldron.
Tis a fine broth we have concocted, Pickles.
They should be able to keep the nickname for this reason alone. And actually that may be more of a fist bump. Can't tell for sure. The schools will work something out, because if Nevada can keep on selling apparel with their blatant Tuffy rip off on it, several years after a similar legal battle, something as minor as a name shouldn't prove a real sticking point.
-- Joseph Uchebo says he felt like the new staff didn't want him at NC State:
"The first time the new staff called me, I got the feeling they didn't want me at NC State," Uchebo explained. "Coach Gottfried was working on bringing in new players, and it was like he didn't want me. It wasn't the same feeling Coach (Sidney) Lowe brought to me."
-- Andy Katz feature on Archie Miller.
-- Tommy Burleson talks Mark Gottfried with Dave Glenn.
-- This random item popped up in my news feed today: 25 bizarre scholarships.
The name Gatling will grant you $9,000 to $18,000 at North Carolina State.
This is true.
-- The new bats have put a dent in offensive production in college baseball, and one major league scout says they're worse than wood. (via)

I ran across the Gatling scholarship
when I was applying to State. Alas, I am not a Gatling, I’m not even a Nerfbazooka.
As for Brittany...
She made me so mad when I read it that I set a new max on the bench this morning. So thanks, Brittany.
Wow, that DTH letter to the editor is embarrassing
Too many of these young UNC students and fans have grown up thinking that State is irrelevant. I’m getting fucking sick and tired of hearing all the “Not our Rival” chants. I didn’t even get a chance to go to State, but I want UNC to get bested in everything by State for now until kingdom come. How can she claim that this rivalry means nothing? Bullshit. Thats spitting on the face Jimmy V, Everett Case, Dean Smith, Dick Sheridan, John Bunting, and every player, coach, and fan who has ever had any connection to the series in any sport or fashion. SO FIRED UP RIGHT NOW

If we were as insignificant
in their minds as they claim, they would not feel the need to write letters to the editor.

I still refuse to believe it's authentic
It’s just too perfect a caricature. Although I have no doubt that an 18-year-old could show the complete lack of self-awareness on display here.
Don't try to
make sense of UNCfan logic, it will only take you to a dark, dark place.

That’s a lucky win if ever there was one, clearly. If they hadn’t turned the ball over all those times, we’d have been in real trouble!
So we whipped their ass in football & baseball... AGAIN
I’ll just enjoy it & let them live in their own little worlds… while getting their asses spanked regularly.
Wow. It almost becomes irrelevant whether their actions show that we’re rivals or not…it’s just pathetic that they go around saying “We’re not rivals.”
Some folks have already made a similar point, but you can’t just decide that a 100+ year rivalry just doesn’t exist anymore. You’d think kids from a liberal arts school would have a better grasp on the correct way to interpret history and what it means to the present. I was a liberal arts student at an engineering college and even I learned that concept.
