I am sorry if you are offended by my comment. I wasn't looking to single individual people out but my comment was based on the sheer volume of posts that occur when Carolina does anything worthy of poking fun at them. I will give you an example of what I am talking about. A Duke basketball player was accused of skipping out on a $150k bill for custom jewelry a couple of years back. This action was brought up on this message board and there were probably 10 posts at the most on the subject. PJ Hairston was stopped by the police and the flood gates opened. I understand that there are people that don't like Carolina and that's fine. However, there are some that don't think that's OK and that if you don't hate Carolina or any team other than App makes you a closet "Holes" (their term). My point is that other schools aren't subject to the same abuse by posters on this board. I doubt UNC post App information on there board.ASUMountaineer wrote:I agree. 94 is a good poster, I just happen to disagree with his label of me being jealous because I hate the Heels.

My suggestion to you and any others with whom this might apply - pull for any and all teams you wish but more importantly continue to make good solid posts on here about APP and the contributors on here who are regulars will understand you have a lot of good thoughts and opinions to offer - and try not to worry about some of the negative comments - You have been a great addition to MMB this season !!! --- Go Mountaineers!!!

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
I agree with you that we discuss UNC way too much. To our fans, just be careful not to become the thing you hate.

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
No, not offended. I just wanted to point out that the same generalizations are made by two-school fans. You didn't say some UNC haters, so I wanted to clear it up.AppSt94 wrote:I am sorry if you are offended by my comment.

I just think the whole jealousy argument is easy/lazy. It's pretty easy to make the case that App alums that pull for UNC are also jealous of UNC [alums].
Pull for whichever teams you like, but afford me the pleasure of hating whichever teams I want to hate. That's all!

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
I agree with some of this but not all. I hate unc and admit to being a Duke fan. In fact after the game I drove to Raleigh and went to the Duke game on Sunday then home Sunday afternoon. I don't hate unc because they will not play us. I think that not playing us is the only thing I like about them. As far as all the rest I don't care if they play us. I have more pride than to cry over " they won't play us".Rick0714 wrote:Ok, I've been holding this one in for years. I don't get the obsession with UNC, or the hate of UNC more specifically. OK, you hate UNC, I don't like em either, but I don't care if someone pulls for them over some other team. But if anyone ever dare say that they may have a second favorite team, some guys have a fit, call them closet Tarholes and tell them to turn in there Black and Gold. I am a ASU football Alum, and I bleed B&G, but for craps sake, if I wanna watch the iron bowl and pull AU or UA, that doesn't mean I'm a turncoat. And it seems to be just the UNC Cheat haters that have this level of malevolence. I guess they are just closet Coach K fan clubbers. Last I checked, Duke wouldn't play us either, State said after '06 they wouldn't do it again and only Wake has stepped up ... and I hate Wake.

3 pages worth. The same could be said about A L Brown and Concord High, but they sure as heck come up on here from time to time, to say the least.asutrnr81 wrote:Who Cares?

Well, K-town has a discipline problem. That's why they beat Concord in football nearly half the time.

I'm one of those guys, as you can probably tell, that says "pull for whoever you want". Just keep that Black & Gold at the top of the flagpole. As far as playing us, I just don't like the pitiful excuses the in-state guys would give. At least Grobe had the guts to say that Wake would not play us as long as he was coach. We're playing a much higher quality of OOC opponent on average now that the in-state schools bring to the table, imho.

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
Well just to be clear I would certainly pull for ASU over Duke but it is an incredible experience standing in the middle of the crazies.

Great post.
I'll be waiting and watching for certain posters to tell you to quit being an ASU fan and never return.
Let's see if that happens...

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
For those of you who don't "see" cheat as a rival...I have a different opinion. We compete with them for athletes, we compete with them for students, and maybe most importantly we compete for state funding. I've said it before I AM jealous of cheat in that they get all the money and all the programs. SO from now on I'm going to do as my Dad taught me and never compare anything you love to CRAP! (and I love ASU)

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
Listen..we have to compete with UNC State and even UNCC for funding. Im no fan of UNC or Duke or any other school than App and I think it looks petty for us to always rag on UNC. Seems we spend more time ragging on them that Georgia Southern.

Re: NC State vs UNC-CH
Georgia Southern, to everyone's knowledge, has not committed the biggest academic fraud in NCAA history. Makes a bit of a difference. I didn't hear anyone talking about jealousy or pettiness when there were huge threads about Penn State.Rekdiver wrote:Listen..we have to compete with UNC State and even UNCC for funding.
