RE: From Flagship to Taproot?

Between the two, IF I were a UNC fan/alum, I'd stick with Flagship. Seriously.

Why is everyone so interested in roots now? I think Sweet Potato tastes better. The Taproot is too chewy.

RE: From Flagship to Taproot?

The article was referring to the University of NC system (i.e., the public university system) as the "Taproot." It was not referring to the UNC-Chapel Hill campus specifically.

And I'm not even sure taproot is a compliment, anyway. :)

Oh, I'm bright if I do say so myself. It was probably INTENDED to be a compliment. But taproot?

We're the TAPROOT, everybody!!! LOL

Carolina is probably hanging a "TAPROOT" banner as we speak! LOL

RE: From Flagship to Taproot?

TAPROOT:

a straight tapering root growing vertically downward and forming the center from which subsidiary rootlets spring.

When it comes to the UNC System:

The Flagship is The Taproot.

state college is just a ROOTLET.

State is the great oak that keeps the UNC "taproot" buried in the dark, damp soil underneath it.

We are standing tall and soaking in the sunshine while the taproot is undeground sucking mud.

RE: From Flagship to Taproot?

Got RooT ???

RE: From Flagship to Taproot?

Not much of a root. Just right for not much of a tap.
