More than one flagship???


More than one flagship???

Say it isn't so! Apparently the DTH thinks so:

... engineering programs at the UNC system's other flagship institution -- N.C. State University -- just 25 miles down the road...

LOL

I really don't care if State is thought of as a flagship or not. I never even respond to those comments. But this seems pretty important to the "UNC flagshippers", so I thought I would help them out. They seemed to believe a misconception, that there is only one flagship in this state.

Heh heh! ENJOY!

RE: More than one flagship???

And before you shoot the messenger, keep in mind this is from UNC's school paper. No State fan wrote this.

Why are you scouring the Daily Tar Heel, TBK?

Am I the only one who thinks this whole argument a lot of silly hokum? Much less the recent "taproot" argument on the UNC board? (Boy, doesn't that one just roll off the tongue...LOL)

The whole thing reminds me of Clooney's character arguing that he is the "pater familias" on "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". Something a little pathetic about making the argument itself.... it reeks of insecurity.

RE: More than one flagship???

Comments about UNC being the flagship are made for one reason. Because it gets under the skin of State fans...and former State football coaches.

No one ever cared about "flagship" until Withers mentioned it. And the only reason why he mentioned it was because he had nothing else to say that was better than State's dominance of their football program.

RE: More than one flagship???

As I posted in the other thread, national media refers to UNC as the "flagship".

I'd stick with that instead of taproot.

Probably the same reason you scour PackPride.
