This guy who goes by clt got “named confused” and called himself lct.[/quote]Obviously the Zima Light’s are taking their toll on clt

clt is beyond embarrassed. he doesn’t drink the zima lights, he just recycles the bottles.

clt’s fingers are tired from typing hate letters to mike p and cal ripken jr,.

one of the captions on the disturber site from our game tonight said “miner nation” even though in the picture there are dozens of visible “NINER NATION” shirts.

the sweatshirts in the bookstore that have UNC in large letters and then “charlotte” underneath is not helping with our name confusion, because the first thing ppl think of when they see the large UNC letters in the tarholes.

Just a random rant

Separating the UNC from Charlotte was done for that purpose. The other ran together. UNC and Charlotte with Charlotte emphasized. That’s the way it was explained to me. UNC in the name is important b/c its recognized across the country. still can’t believe the hyphen is used.

It’s still about 50/50 whether you’ll see North Carolina attached to Charlotte when Charlotte (the city) is referred to in national stories.

You’ll occasionally see just Charlotte, but generally you see Charlotte, NC

I just don’t see how you live in the US and not know what and where Charlotte is. And really, this isn’t just me being a biased Charlottean. If you through the list of Americas biggest cities, I mean I would think people have heard of them all down into the 50s and further.

But after I said “live in the US,” I remembered the concern is actually global students. These publications and our school keep the NC on there because Charlotte isn’t quite a global city yet like LA, NY, Chicago and so on.

I know it is susprising, but there are people that do not know Charlotte.

In the United States tho. I mean seriously. How can you not know Charlotte? I mean, I suppose if you don’t watch sports AT ALL, and read/watch little news, and select television shows. But these people who avoid the world like that won’t know UNC Charlotte whether we have our slave name or not.

shouldn’t this site at least be “unccwalk.com” instead of “unc” since it’s for spots near charlotte’s campus?

Yes. God that one has been like that since I started doing this crap. So dumb

Wish I had a picture of the hat I saw at the GW game Saturday. A guy had a relatively new hat that was green with white lettering. What did it say?

UNC-C

Wonder where he got that?

clt says we have made The Economist: http://www.economist.com/node/18114813?story_id=18114813&fsrc=rss

I never thought a short fat kid with an Alf shirt would read The Economist.

clt asks what did you think was in the lunch box?
