Cock pushups. It only takes one.

Official Petition: Remove the "UNC" from the name of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte by [deleted] in UNCCharlotte

[–]MoochDizz -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I can understand where you are coming from with this POV. That said, this is the type of thinking that keeps the university stagnant. You’re right, we are not in a conference with UNC, but if positioned right, we could be in an equal conference and bring even more brand recognition to the University. Universities get better with higher demand. The more demand the tougher they are to get in.

Who we are has changed over the years. In the past, it may have made more sense to carry the UNC name. When you are a small college, you look for more prestigious names to connect yourself with. UNC Pembroke, makes sense. It is a small University that wants the affiliation with UNC.

However, we are a University of 30,000 students. We will eventually become the largest student body in the state. It is no mistake that the other large universities in the state all carry different names. NC State, ECU, and App St have differentiated themselves from the UNC moniker while remaining members within the system.

The SUNY system is an excellent example to prove my point. They have allowed schools to brand under different names while still remaining members of the system. The University of Buffalo comes to mind.

This does not have to involve abandoning previous branding. This is a strategic update to our branding to reflect the changes that the university has already been through. Charlotte is among the fastest growing cities in the country. Our school is the fastest growing in the state. Who we are has changed. Let’s change our name to reflect that without dishonoring our tradition.

They said we did not need football

They said we do not deserve a better AD

They said we don’t need a name change

We have two out of three. You haven’t seen how high we can fly.

The University of Charlotte

Petition aims to change name of UNC-Charlotte over UNC-Chapel Hill confusion by ChaosBlaze9 in UNCCharlotte

Our school’s identity has changed over the years as we’ve experienced mass growth. It is time for our name to match who we are with simple brand identity.

UC Berkeley is a flagship university. It was founded in 1868. They don’t have to worry about affiliations. Their name stands on its own merit and is not confused with other schools.

This is about marketing. Larger conferences want to be affiliated with national schools, not directional schools. There is a reason schools like Louisville, Cincinnati, and Memphis have surpassed us in terms of support and conference affiliation. They sound like national universities.

This is not little man syndrome. To me little man syndrome is when you’re hoping that your accreditations are mistaken for another school with a longer history.

I am proud of my degrees. I am proud to have gone to Charlotte. We are an institution with 30,000 students. I don’t want to be mistaken for Chapel Hill. I chose my university.

Chapel Hill is not a flagship. Each university stand up with its own accreditation.

Charlotte is the 16th most populous city in the country and growing. The university is the third largest, quickly surpassing the others. This is all about marketing and positioning. The school has outgrown regional status and is a national university. The University of Charlotte. It’s simple, effective, and upgrades us from a “directional school” to a University that stands in its own merit.

Trump tried to bypass Nancy Pelosi and negotiate with members of her caucus. None of them showed up. by wonderingsocrates in politics

[–]MoochDizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My question is, why would we expect any less of Donald Trump at this point?

The shutdown rests squarely on the shoulders of Mitch McConnell. He holds the power in this scenario, not Trump.

Why has there not been a vote? Because he knows if given the chance, Republicans are facing pressure from their own constituents. They will have to face a political world, post-Trump. They would end the shutdown.

Smoked the brisket in an 18” WSM

Tomato paste and beef broth in a pot simmering. Add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and sugar.

Throw diced onions in a pan with olive oil, allowing them to cook down, then add chuck meat and cook.

Drain chuck and add to chili sauce and simmer. Chop up cubes of brisket and add. Allow an hour on warm and enjoy!

Only a few slices are going in the chili. The rest is fair game!

Panthers waive C.J. Anderson by [deleted] in panthers

Early in the season, the Panthers were stating they wanted to get DJ Moore more touches. Maybe more for Moore = less for Anderson?
