Name Confusion Log

FSU Bball coach Leonard Hamilton was on the David Glenn show and was talking about his upcoming game with ā€œUNCCā€, I had to chuckle and wonder if the tarholes had their own name confusion thread…

Posting this so I don’t forget, more-so in the ā€œslave nameā€ department: Today, UNC Asheville vs Coastal Carolina, CC students chanted ā€œUNC rejects.ā€

And the UNCA students were not smart enough to counter with ā€œUSC Rejectsā€?

They aren’t called USC Coastal.

yea, their school has a name,
having a name must really make marketing easier

This week’s Value City Furniture circular labeled their store on University City Blvd as being in the ā€œUNC Areaā€.

Article on designbuildnetwork.com about the stadium.

The 15,300-seat stadium can be expanded to 40,000 seats, once the UNC sports team, Charlotte 49ers move to the Football Bowl Subdivision (I-A).

? How is that name confusion.

Our name is The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Haha. I guess it’s moreso in the name butchery department.

clt says it should always be ā€œUNC Charlotteā€

until it is ā€œUniversity of Charlotteā€

This one made me laugh

UNC Univ. of North Charlotte 49ers Heavyweight LS Shirt

University Walk was on campus giving out freebies today. Among the freebies: White tshirts with baby blue coloring advertising their website (www.uncwalk.com). The girl working the event even lied to me and said they picked uncwalk.com and not uncCwalk.com because the latter domain name was already taken. I looked it up on godaddy. Not true.

I gave their free junk back to them and said they were doing harm to our students and school.

Was watching the WNIT toledo game highlights and noticed the score graphic had us as ā€œUNCCā€. Does CBS Collegiate Sports not KNOW?

Had a student ask me who my favorite team was last week. I said the 49ers. He said ā€œNBA?ā€ He was getting us confused with the 76ers, I guess.

This gets under my skin… Just seen a quick news brief just aired from WTVI’s morning crew and they mentioned the Charlotte Knights baseball exhibition game with us. Only thing is, the anchor (I believe it was John Carter) called us ā€œUNC 49ersā€. I notice that this happens a lot on our local news. The local sport anchors have been getting it right (finally) as of late, but dang on, we could avoid this all together…

I’m sitting in class right now and the girl in front of me is on the women’s rugby team at Charlotte. She’s wearing a shirt from ā€œThe Air Emirates USA Rugby 2011 Men’s and Women’s Division II College Playoffsā€ which apparently took place April 16-17, 2011 in Kissimmee, FL. They have the list of participants on the back for men and women and sure enough our University is referred to as ā€œUniversity of North Carolina, Charlotte.ā€

I hope you’re mistaken on some point here. His son went to UNC Charlotte…

Wouldn’t be surprised if you were right tho. :frowning:
