Welcome to UNC!
This is the memorial to the slaves who literally helped to build the university in the 1700's. It's about the width of a normal dinner table, and 2 feet off the ground. While the sentiment is nice, I think they could have been a little more elaborate, given the circumstances. What do I know, though? I'm just an uppity Yankee.
I probably should have read the inscription on this statue more closely. Let's say it's an American Revolution tribute thing. I think that's right. Or it could be the Confederacy. We are in the south, you know.
Edit: Yup, it's a Confederate soldier.
Erin and I are retarded. You all know this.
This is the Old Well. It is their big campus landmark...you can buy lots of UNC paraphrenalia with the logo on it. Hell, it's even got its own Wikipedia page.
The bell tower.
Now this is officially the world's largest statue of a ram. I'm sure Dodge is in talks to buy it. It sits outside the football stadium. No one has yet been able to explain to my satisfaction why the mascot is a ram, but then again, I don't know why the Hurricanes have Sebastian the Ibis. Some things are not meant for man to comprehend.
Various pictures inside the stadium. It's a glorified high school field, but it's very nice looking.
Bad timing for an ankle injury.
A few pics inside the Dean Dome. There was a girls' high school basketball camp going on, which limited a few of the floor shots.
Erin and Moose, chilling in the stands.
Me and Moose, on the way out.
