@GamecockBourbon Most UNC alums I know really don’t care, but I know that’s not the same for everybody.
My experience is more the equivalent of every time West Virginia fans meet Georgia Tech alums, the first thing they say is that they aren’t “the real Tech” defending VT. Makes no sense.
@GamecockBourbon As an alum, I enjoy occasional good natured ribbing from the couple dozen or so friends who are grads of either & think nothing of it.
But can’t go a week or 2 w/o somebody randomly thinking it’s every (South) Carolina grad’s worst nightmare to hear UNC referred to as Carolina.
@GamecockBourbon Been at 3 schools in 3 conferences since South Carolina and been one of the most fascinating things I’ve yet to figure out.
Seriously like 50:1 ratio of folks unaffiliated with the 3 schools bringing it up vs. UNC or Southern Cal fans.
Honestly usually rival fans too. Bizarre.

The energy in Scott was the difference in several games last year and buried a couple of other teams from the opening kickoff.
New this year: Lower-level Family 4 Packs in the South endzone. Comes out to just $25 per seat per game, it's an incredible deal.

After a week marked by uncertainty, the news that @CoachCassese had been promoted to head coach raised the spirits of @UVAMensLax players. “Everyone is so, so excited to get this thing rolling," said All-ACC defenseman John Schroter, a team captain.
