No, that's not true.  Buying merchandise, supporting charities and going to games does not even come close to uprooting your life for several years to live on or around a college campus, attend classes every day, stay up all night studying for exams, etc.  The amount of sacrifice and work that goes into earning your degree and building a lifelong bond with your ALMA MATER is so, so much more than any amount of merchandise purchased, charities supported,etc.
For the people who didn't attend the university or college in general, it's fine to watch college sports and be excited by the pageantry and traditions... but you just have to suck it up and accept the reality that you're NOT a part of it in any meaningful way.  That sucks, but it is what it is.

So, since you didn't serve in the military, you're not really an American? You want to preach about sacrifice and work, you don't have a clue.

No, it's pretty dead-on accurate.  All these Wal-Heel t-shirt fans... "cause my diddy loved Kurlina!"  UNC alumni want nothing to do with you.

Dude I went to your crappy school. There's a reason I still love teams in the ACC. Can't get my rocks off to beating UCF. If the world was on the same page as you then guess what ? No March madness because only a 100k people would be allowed to watch. Thank God a few Pirate fans are realists n not d bags!

Um... I was born in the United States to two American citizens.  Pretty sure that makes me an American.  

You guys are comparing pro sports to college which is apples to oranges... and now YOU are comparing college sports to the military, which is apples to space ships.  LoL.. the military is not a part of this conversation.  Move those goalposts some more, why don't you?

If you did not attend UNC, you have no meaningful, tangible connection to the university or its athletic teams.  Period.  Sucks, but again - it is what it is.

1) I didn't say anything about not being able to watch.  If you didn't attend, it is not "your school" or "your Heels"... you have no connection to them, nor them to you.

2) 100,000 people, really?  There are 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament.  Are you saying that the ENTIRE student body PLUS living alumni for ALL 68 schools is only 100,000?  LoL... you're so not cut out for hyperbole.

I'll let Justin Jackson's mom know she needs to stop cheering for the team immediately because some DB fan thinks he can write the rules to team fandom.

Sounds like an ECU fan that hates the fact the majority of his "alumni" root for UNC after football season ends.  At least that's what it looks like to me.  

Ironically enough I was at the Final Four with two ECU grads who are both Heels fans.

State fans, I can understand.  They have an inferiority complex.  ECU fans doing this?  Na, the majority of their fan base are UNC fans after football season.  So, this is awful.

Truth hurts.

That is why I laugh and roll my eyes whenever I see someone who CLEARLY is not an alumnus talking about "their Heels"... lmao.  It tells me everything I need to know about them, right there.

If. You. Are. Not. An. Alum. There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. "YOUR". Heels.  End of story.

I know I'm outnumbered on this forum in this regard.  But I just thought you ought to at least hear the truth.  You can do whatever you like with it.

I thought it was funny that guy in the video was a Mich State fan. Some definitely similarities in the relationships between those two Michigan teams and NCSU and UNC.

People who are so worried about the composition of other teams' fan bases are obviously very insecure people. It's the truth. They live very sad lives. 

LoL... nope, not insecure whatsoever.  I'm secure in my choice of Alma Mater.  (Bachelors and Masters) I'm secure in my fandom.  I have a good job, am happily married, and have an amazing kid.

It's just that sometimes when I see all the trash bubble up about "their heels" or "their blue devils", I just feel that it is my duty to remind 99% of them that their relationship with the university is meaningless, and hope they take a good look in the mirror and chew on that a while before going back to Wal-Mart to buy another Hanes Beefy T with either logo on it.

Since when did taking pride in a Public state institution become a crime? I went to a different school for athletic opportunities it doesn't make me any less of a Tarheel fan. I wasn't/couldn't pay tuition out of pocket to attend Chapel hill so I took the opportunity for free education else where... I'll say "MY HEELS" if I damn well please

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
