Thread Name: Folklore: what is a tarheel?
Subject: RE: BS: what is a tarheel?
Well, I certainly can't testify about New York.
But Tar Heel is the name for the Univeristy of North Carolina (UNC)at Chapel Hill. NC State is the Wolfpack.
Interesting how the stories can vary from bravery to cowardice. I had always heard "Spaw's version.
Those of us from Virginia are quick to point out to the UNC folk that it is NOT tar on them heels...Maybe they were in Alabama...
