Reasons I hate North Carolina in general

1. All they care about is basketball.
2. North Carolinians seem to act like "Gomer" and "Goober" off of the Andy Griffith Show.
3. In keeping with that same vein, North Carolinians have absolutely no sense of humor when asked where "Mayberry" is.
4. Their barbeque sucks. Vinegar and salt? Come on....
5. Why is it that their state is home to NASCAR, it seems that Alabama would be a more suitable location?
6. Their NFL team sucks!
7. Did I mention their barbeque sucks??
8. Did I mention all they care about is basketball?
9. I was informed at the 1984 Final Four that a Tar-Heel was a person who got manure on their shoe. Is that really what it is? If so, and to make sure I'm clear, their mascot is someone with manure on their boots? If I'm wrong, I'm hoping a "tarheel" can clarify this tidbit of useless information. I mean, I know what the hell a Tiger is... it's a jungle predator... Just sayin....
Regardless of whether their starters play or not, it's a Tiger Football game! I'm ready for some damn football!!! Geaux Tigers!!!

To top all of that off, they're awfully uppity in my opinion.
I once mentioned to a fellow Senate intern that ended up dating (back in 04) that it was good to have a nice southern gal around in DC. Instead of accusing me of sexual harassment (which is what I was going for) she simply asked: you consider North Carolina the South?
Dumb brawd. I hit it a few days later.

Tarheel
Has to do with an old army batallion from North Carolina. They would stand their ground mo matter what and it was said becuase of this, they had tar on the heels of their boots. Hence...tarheels.
I could be totally wrong about that, but I think thats where it came from.

Military reference. ...sounds familiar.

I have no problems with unc.
Always find myself rooting for them during march madness.
I find it funny that you hate a team LSU has basically zero exp with.

I should let that ride, but she wasn't all that hot.
Doable. Skinny. Nice teeth. That was the standard back in college.

Many believe it to be a nickname given during the U.S. Civil War, because of the state's importance on the Confederate side, and the fact that the troops "stuck to their ranks like they had tar on their heels".

It may also have something to do with the fact that North Carolina, at one time, was the leading producer of tar and pitch used for shipbuilding.

Well there you go. At least I was close.

they are an uppity, their basketball crowd is a total wine and cheese crowd. can barely hear a peep out of them even when they have a full house.
as far as the bbq goes, you are 100% wrong. best pulled pork in the country imho comes from eastern nc.

The exact etymology of the nickname is unknown, but most experts believe its roots come from the fact that tar, pitch and turpentine created from the vast pine forests were one of North Carolina's most important exports early in the state's history.

One name: Tyler Hansbrough. Hey! Why don't you flail your arms a little more to get a foul called!?
Oh, and Ty Lawson. Why couldn't he just stay on the bench!?

I wouldn't mind living in NC, say somewhere around Asheville or the coast maybe. Probably beat living in Mousetown.

NASCAR grew out of the moonshine runners in the Carolina hills souping up their cars to outrun the law.
