So sad for the chickens.

The ONLY CAROLINA!!!!

CONGRATS TO THE TARHEELS ON THE BIG VICTORY.....I AM A BIG GAMECOCKS FAN....BUT I WILL BE ROOTING FOR THE TARHEELS IN THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES....IT WAS A GREAT SERIES....THE GAMECOCKS HAD ANOTHER GREAT SEASON IN BASEBALL.....I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REAL CAROLINA.....I WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA.....SO THAT IS THE ONLY CAROLINA IN MY BOOK ....BUT I WISH NORTH CAROLINA THE BEST OF LUCK.....BRING THE TITLE TO NC.....GO GAMECOCKS!!!!!....GO EAGLES!!!!!

C'mon Jimmy! There is CAROLINA and then there is South Carolina. U.N.C. was the FIRST land grant university in the nation. Then theres the sucession from the union at Mecklinburg. North Carolina was and always will be first, and South Carolina will always follow.

The one thing that I do know that NC is first in. First in Flight. I've seen that on the license plates for years.

Good point Wildcat Fan. That was a great series. It's a shame those two teams had to play each other as they both probably should be going to Omaha. If the Gamecocks had ANY kind of bullpen, the series might have turned out differently. Good luck to the Tar Heels in Omaha.

Iowa was the first state to accept the Morrill Act in 1862, making Iowa State University the first university designated as a land-grant university. The first land-grant university newly created under the Morrill Act of 1862 was Kansas State University, established on February 16, 1863. The oldest land-grant university is Rutgers University, which was founded in 1766. The pioneer land-grant university is Michigan State University founded in 1855, from which all land-grant universities were ostensibly modeled

Don't know about the whole land grant university thing, but UNC was the first public university to admit a student, as well as the first to award degrees to students.

U.N.C. is the oldest state university in the nation, period!! First sudent arrived 1795!! Way before any of the above mentioned! See the link below:

UGa was chartered first, in 1785, while UNC wasn't chartered until 1789.

But UGa's first class didn't begin until 1801.

UNC was the only university in the United States that awarded degrees as a public institution in the eighteenth century.

Just an interesting little piece of info...
