At athletic events I call us NC State, but besides that, I generally refer to our school as NCSU. I suppose the fact that they took this off of Tuffy's hat reflects that the university is moving away from calling us NCSU, but does anyone else still think of us as that?

I always say "NC State," but realize that being somewhat far from North Carolina that might sound dumb, I've gotta remember to say the full "North Carolina State"

^you summed that up quite nicely

i actually say ncsu most of the time and then immediately add "nc state"...sometimes i have to go further. it generally isnt that important.

What I really hate is the stupid "NCST" label that ESPN has started using for our games, argh!

The last three talks I gave at Los Alamos or here in California I was introduced as,
"Wintermute from UNC will now talk about the good work he as been doing on blah blah blah".

Outside of the South East NCSU doesn't exist.

I'm surprised that they used your TWW name. "And now, an academic paper by wintermute"

that would be funny and maybe kinda cool if I were introduced at a herp conference as RattlerRyan

That is because NC State's marketing department request them and other media outlet to use that as our four letter identifier, so when people read it they think NC STate not NCSU.

I never knew that, there ya go.

5/5/2006 2:34:44 PM

Most people I have met outside of the South East (Chicago, L.A., Kansas, Alaska) knew about NC State because of the recent football (Rivers years) and because of ACC

5/5/2006 2:58:33 PM

i always say "North Carolina State University" no matter what context.

5/6/2006 1:27:37 AM

i say i went to Git Er Dun College

5/9/2006 1:08:55 AM

a guy giving me a haircut once asked me what school i went to. i told him ncsu & it just confused him. so i had to spell it out for him. ncsu is the shortest way to write it, so as ive been here i've shifted more and more to saying it too since i'm getting more used it.

my grandparents, parents, and older relatives all call it state college. just like it says on the big smoke stack on campus. i find myself saying state college sometimes as well.

5/11/2006 2:27:59 AM

i never put university on it

i'd assume most would already know that so i just say north carolina state
