I’d be more impressed with this if there was a SINGLE voice on the board with a UNC Charlotte degree. Since there’s not…

That video is pretty great. Like Niner_National said in SB, hope they edit it down for television ads, instead of Norm’s shrunken laundry.

Could not agree more.

Really enjoyed that. We do need a brief version to run during tv games.

Personally, I think norm shrinking a jersey would have been more persuasive.

We always say that we are NC’s only Urban Research Institution and I have never understood that. How are NCSU and UNC-CH not the same? The seem urban, and they do tons more research than we do. I like the tag line, but I do not really know what it means.

Chapel Hill isn’t Urban at all, its a college town. Calling that urban is like calling Boone or Cullowhee urban. NC State you may be right about.

I am originally from Chapel Hill so I remember when it was a real college town. I get your point, but Boone and Cullowhee are not even close the the same thing. In the same way that Charlotte and Mecklenburg County almost equal the same thing, Chapel Hill is a part of the Triangle, and that is a big urban center.

awesome video!

I’ve never really understood saying that we’re the only urban university in the state, especially when we’re very much in a suburban part of the city. If we were downtown, I’d get it, but we’re not.

I gave this some more thought and you are probably right. Saying Chapel Hill is not urban at this point is probably a stretch, but I suspect we probably are calling them a college town to make a distinction. Raleigh still has me confused though.
