I can't tell you how many times UNC and NC State get mixed up by people.

About 20 years ago, I was at a conference in Kansas City. The Big 12 Women's Tournament was being held at Kemper Arena and I decided to attend an evening session. This was one of the years when the Big 12 was dominant, with Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas State all ranked in the top 10.

At halftime of one of the games, I was talking with some fans of Kansas State. I was discussing NC State and Kay Yow and our proud program and one of the older ladies said "And they have such beautiful blue uniforms!". I looked at her like she was growing a second head and just stopped talking.

I had another reason for going to the Big 12 Tournament. For many years leading up to that, I had kept up an e-mail correspondence with Mechelle Voepel, and she offered to talk with me at the tournament if I attended. I thought it was nice of her to take a few minutes out of her busy schedule to discuss WCBB and NC State with me.
