I always thought that East Carolina was located in the state of East Carolina.

The War for Southern Independence took care of that.

At least up north, we know how to spell aggression.

I grew up in North Carolina and learned there is State(NCSU) and Carolina(UNC-CH). I moved to South Carolina and was amazed at how many "Carolina" fans there were in SC. I soon learned that South Carolinians mistakenly refer to USC as Carolina. I corrected them that USC is in California and Carolina is in North Carolina. All this time they thought ESPN was referring to their beloved schools when Carolina or USC was mentioned.

Reminds me of my years in Knoxville -- to us, UT will *always* be Tennessee, no matter what those idiots on ESPN say.

I was referencing the REGION.

As for New York, is there a University of New York? I only know of State University of New York.
