Yeah UNC definitely has the brand.

It has always surprised me, but I have traveled around the country and when it comes up that I went to UNC, some people's eyes will light up and they will say that they are a UNC fan. These are people who didn't go to UNC, have never even been to North Carolina, and I'm probably the first person they have ever met who actually went to UNC. Yet they for some reason are a "fan" of UNC. Maybe it's the basketball tradition, the rivalry with Duke, and Michael Jordan. Or maybe it's Mia Hamm and the women's soccer tradition. Or maybe they just like the interlocking NC logo and the shade of light blue. Who knows?

And tv has made the actual games worse with so many commercials

Love my Hokies but this is why I attend 2 VMI games a year.

You can thank Oklahoma and Georgia for creating the mess we have today.
