A Century of Rameses at Carolina
What started as a way to cheer on a star football player became one of Carolina’s most lasting traditions.
Rameses, the beloved ram mascot, made his first appearance at a Tar Heels football game in November 1924. Now, 100 years and 22 Rameses later, the mascot is an enduring presence on campus. Press play above to learn about the history of Rameses at Carolina.
