The Bobcat Nation

Look, I know it's a little thing, but it's a little thing that drives me crazy. They've been a part of our conference long enough now that we should have their name correct:

It's UNC, not NCU. I see it wrong on this board at least half the time.

I'll make you a deal, I will call them UNC if you call it Cat/Griz. If we are being all proper and such!

Just as an FYI, I would be willing to bet that well over half of the people here that do use NCU instead of UNC know full well what the real abbreviation is and refuse to use it due to tarnishing the name of some powder blue wearing school out East.

You've actually got it backwards ... it's the UMS Spartans ... for the reasons noted above.

Looks like we all need a little Spartan Spirit.
Who's ready for the perfect cheer???

Dear GAWD, NO!! That's just too close to UM for comfort.

God help me but I am gonna have to agree with the Griz fan on this one.

Edit to add that I'm just wondering if I have to give up my mod priveledges considering my post is likely what forced the split here.

Edit again to respond directly to GoBears. When you find that near cultish group of fans that are in no way directly connected to Michigan State as you do with Carolina BBall fans around the country, then your analogy will work, till then it's not even close. Hey, I'm not a Heels fan at all, I was just stating a known reason why many stopped referring to Northern Colorado as UNC around here.

Don't drag me down for being a fan and not having a direct connection to UNC! I am a Tarheel fan damnit!!

And we will return the favor by hanging 60+ points on you in Greely this year.

So let me get this straight - a griz fan is going to tell us Bobcat fans that it's not politically correct for any of us to refer to Northern Colorado as NCU, when at the same time, the majority of griz fans come onto this board and refer to the Bobcats as "kitties?" And we're supposed to listen to your rhetoric?

And jizz and fizz are ok? Take a good look at that pic you posted.

There's only ONE UNC and they're not in our conference.

I'm wasn't the one who began the dialogue about using using "pet" names for the other schools in our conference - it's your fellow griz buddy who is preaching to the choir!
