What the heck is a Tar heel? (As in Carolina Tar Heels?)?

Legend has it that the nickname dates back to the American Civil War. Supposedly, during a battle in Virginia, the North Carolinian troops held their ground while supporting troops retreated. After the battle, supporting troops asked the victorious North Carolinians: "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" and they replied: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The supporting troops continued: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The North Carolinian troops' response: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

It all started in 1947 when North Carolina State, led by coach Everett Case, celebrated its Southern Conference championship by cutting down the nets. Case decided to take the nets as a souvenir of his team's victory.\n\n"He wanted it to show as a sign of winning the championship," says Frank Weedon, senior associate athletics director at N.C. State and a historian of sorts.

City?\n\nThere are undoubtably many college boulevards in North Carolina.  \n\nWhat do you wish to know about it?  What it's called?\n\nI normally hate people saying "try google" but in this case there isn't enough information to answer the question.  Type "elementary near" and then type in a zip code or an address.  Hopefully that gives you what you need.\n\nGood luck.

University of South Carolina, but you must be a Clemson fan because you called South Carolina by the wrong name.

Based on just pure talent, the Tarheels gotta rank in the top 10 in the nation just on talent alone.  As far as March Madness is concerned, anything can happen but I would anticipate that UNC will make it to at least the regional final if not farther.  But it's tough to say since March is far away.

My Tarheels are cream of the crop this year. Talent alone should be in our favor and hopefully we can shut the door on a good Zag team unlike the Dookies against Marquette. To be the man you gotta beat the man, lol. I would have to say UNC by 11. 85-74.

It is the branch of the college that is in Greensboro. University of North Carolina is a college.

I teach at ECU, which is about 1.5 hrs from Duke.  NC is considered part of the south.  Racial issues really aren't a problem here now.  As for culture, Duke is located in a large city that is very close to two other major cities.  Therefore, there are a lot of things to do, places to visit, and a lot of night life.  You will be about 2 hours from the ocean and about 3-4 hours from the mountains, so both should be nice for weekend getaways.

No idea what Spurrier's daughters name is...and why post random trivia like this?  Is anyone impressed that you looked it up, or happened across her name somewhere?  And it's the GAMECOCKS...I'm a fan of "the fighting chickens of South Carolina..."

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.
