Name Confusion Log

[SIZE=8][B]UNC COACH REJECTS USA HEAD COACHING JOB[/B][/SIZE]

:lol:

I wish.

If you look at the picture below, you may notice a typo. Actually I doubt it was a typo. The people who put Google Maps together probably truly believe the name of our school is ā€œThe University of NC-Charlotte.ā€ You know why? Because our name is freaking misleading and confusing! Please change it!!
:cuss:

the operators of the scoreboard this weekend were very misinformed. on saturday they had us as UNC, which i dint really mind because they have a 1 lax team thats good. they also called us north carolina that same day.

Sunday as slightly better they had us as UNC-C on the board, but changed the name during announcing several times. we were charlotte, north carolina charlotte, university of north carolina (several times with an at) charlotte, UNCC, UNC-Charlotte.

Probably because ā€œUNC Charlotteā€ and ā€œNorth Carolina Charlotteā€ and ā€œUNC at Charlotteā€ all sound stupid and unnatural to say. Can’t blame the guy, I guess.

Why the F isn’t your team name just Charlotte?

I asked about this this weekend. Apparently it's because we aren't a varsity sport, so therefore we take the name of the school not the athletic dept.

Well they need to change that. It is still a sport. It's not like the same problem doesn't apply.

ehhh...we call ourselves Charlotte and so do most if not all of our opponents.

I love it. Not only do both Yahoo Maps and MapQuest also have our name totally wrong, they don’t capitalize the ā€œcā€ in ā€œNC.ā€ Maybe Chapel Hill should get mad about this one too.

I was looking for ahotel in the University area and came across this. I thought UNC was in Chapel Hill???

And another…

My new neighbors asked me what I was doing and where I was going - so I told them I went to Charlotte - they then asked me how much I was enjoying UNC… Saddly enough, even after trying to jam an explanation stating we are actually UNCC not UNC i thikn they still think i go to UNC…

Say that ten times fast.

Fist we have this. The dudes at SouthernCollegeSports.com are apparently very slow. About 7 years slow.

Thanks for the info but get our freaking name right.

Then also we have ninerID’s lovely story.

today at lunch I was asked if we were a satellite campus? and that the only reason they figured we weren't is b/c we had a different mascot.

John Hancock referred to our school as UNC on WBT a couple days ago

Do you know if it was 1110 AM or 99.3FM?

1110 AM

EDIT: At first i didn’t realize why you asked, but now i realize the AM station is 50k watts broadcasting from canada to cuba. pretty big audience to confuse.

Oh… Nah I just didn’t know what WBT was at first. I looked at their website and it said 1110AM and 99.3 FM.
