It's cool that you follow figure skating. I like to watch it. It's very relaxing. ❤ nt littlemissmartypants Feb 2021 #4

Um, "North Carolina" is UNC, right? Just checking. I'm not generally into watching sports but this one IS big, whichever "North Carolina" team it is. There are two other "North Carolina" colleges: NCSU and NC Central, hence my uncertainty about the team to play.

Sometimes just referred to as Carolina. Sorry for not being more specific. ❤

I'm sure I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't know this tradition of calling UNC "Carolina" and "North Carolina." Color me happily clueless about any sports other than figure skating lol.
