UNC's mascot is a RAM. The state North Carolina is known for it's early settlement trading of tar. NC had tar springs and used it in bartering. I guess for that reason they call themselves Tarheels. They seem a little mixed up to me in not knowing their identity. Not one person at UNC has ever stepped in tar. They never call themselves Rams, nor does any commentator.
