They have "Tarheels" on the their jersey. Call them that. They ain't "Carolina" except maybe in basketball. There's a reason why our baseball and football teams have "Carolina" on the jersey.

Only if you’re a tar goat, or taterI'd hate to see you when their is a real problem. This is petty

I meant referring to them as such.Actually, our basketball jerseys say "Carolina" whereas theirs say "North Carolina."
I know. But technically since they don't even refer to themselves as "Carolina" in hoops, why should anyone else?I meant referring to them as such.

Unfortunately outside of South Carolina the term Carolina belongs to UNC. This situation, similar to Southern Cal, we did not brand properly.
I just use the term...tarturds.can I just keep referring to them as UN-carolina ?
I just use the term...tarturds.
California wasn't even a state when the University of South Carolina came to be. I refer to them as SC west.
You might, however the rest of the nation does not. We have been playing catch up in terms of branding since we started. Take your example of instance. We had a university before they had a state. Guess who is the most well known? Get it?
From a national (and international) perspective, you may have a point. But from a local area or regional perspective, just as was Horseshoe's point, then your point is mute.Didn’t hurt having MJ lead the way. And of course all those so cal running backs. That, like the poster above said, branded those two schools in the minds of everyone outside the state of SC. ‘Carolina’ nor USC doesn’t just belong to unc or so cal but the Univ of South Carolina is not the first thought to the average Joe.

Nope.... branding is a perception or an opinion & varies from person to person & by area & region, I good with mine & my university.
California can have there 40 million people and love SoCal as much as they want.
I prefer South Carolina and our 5 million (even having to accept some care for that north west college on our state line.
Population & major markets impact branding. I travel extensively for a living and love that most people I meet have no idea where Irmo or Lexington is, much less Columbia (or Pickens county ) So when I tell folks I live an hour south of Charlotte & less than an hour from where the Masters is played 99.8% say ohhh . Their perception of branding could never be mine and that is ok.

Oh...I guess you don’t get it.

The original post was about Karl Ravich of espn referring to unc as ‘Carolina,’ not if local fans think that. It’s ok to not like that he is doing that, just trying to explain why.
Point I was making is that the avg Joe hears ‘Carolina’ and thinks unc-ch. mainstream media caters to avg Joe, not just to the citizens of sc.
Be careful they will call you a tater for speaking the truth. Crazy thing is its 60 year old men doing the name calling. That's just sad
Very Correct! I’m good with that too. Avg Joe probably has no idea that UN-Carolina gave grades to young people....
100% agree. They are arrogant a holes that assumed 1000s of blacks couldn’t cut it academically so they created a sham degree after K’s 2 titles in the 90s. The timeline lines up exactly. That said, MJ branded that school so well that the most successful football school is willing to put his logo on their jersey.
I’m 41 & just have insomnia & this has become amusing.
I call them the fruits and the nuts.California wasn't even a state when the University of South Carolina came to be. I refer to them as SC west.
You say USC to anyone in Texas and they are not going to think of Carolina. And they certainly ain't yankees.I always figure anybody who thinks USC is that school in Southern California is probably a yankee to begin with and trying to explain is not worth the gunpowder it would take to blow them up.

Some just do not get it. Many live in a very small world.
