8. I wonder if they have placed a bet on tonight's game

I'm rooting for the Illini tonight too. I would like to see a Big Ten win the championship. Also, I would like to see all the basketball pundits who say that the Big Ten is a weak basketball conference look like a bunch of morans.

10. WTF kinda name is 'tarheel' anyway?

I know it has to do with the abundance of pine trees in North Carolina and how pine tar would adhere to the bare feet of the various hillbillies, rubes, bumpkins and hayseeds who generally populate the woods in that state...

But why go with a name like that? Isn't it derogatory in a sense?

:shrug: :evilgrin:

11. What is a Tar Heel?

What is a Tar Heel?
The University not only uses the nickname "Tar Heels," but the entire state does as well. One version of the nickname's origin has the name first being applied to North Carolinians during the Civil War. One record talks of a battle in Virginia, where their supporting column retreated, but North Carolina troops fought alone. The victorious troops were asked in a condescending tone by some Virginians, who had retreated, "Any more tar down in the Old North State, boys?" The response came quickly: "No, not a bit; old Jeff's bought it all up." The Virginians asked: "Is that so? What is he going to do with it?" The reply: "He is going to put it on you'ns heels to make you stick better in the next fight."

12. Oh, I know the origin of the term.....

I just don't see why anyone would choose to use it.
