because they are acc teams and probably more than likely refuse to play us in halton because the environment and they want to sell as many tickets to their fans as we can to ours so it ends up being a neutral court.
Thatâs pretty lame. Oh well, I guess itâs better than playing North Texas again.
VERY IMPORTANT:
I am assuming (actually⌠hoping) that our students will receive their usual allotment of student tickets for the games in Bobcat Arena.

Yeah, I was wondering how that would work. Not much of a home game if the other team canât hear us.
something tells me they would stick the student section behind one of the baskets.

better then the $10 cheapies
iâm sure they would want to make it seem as much as a college environment as possible especially since maryland game is more than likely going to be on tv
The reason Wake and Maryland will play us at Bobcats Arena
is that the ACC Tourney is scheduled there for March 2008. They
want some experience on that court. UNC-Chapel Hill and
Duke are playing Davidson at Bobcats Arena in 2007-08 for the
same reason.

We could have a Charlotte - Davidson tag team versus the ACC.

You know, Iâve heard that back when the ACC was formed in '53, Davidson was asked to join and turned them down. Can you image the kind of hell weâd live in if Davidson had been an ACC school all this time? Just something to think about.
The Southern Conference has been around a LONG time.

[QUOTE]Would we want to? Seems like a lose-lose to me, with Winthrop. If we beat them, weâre the bigger state school in the bigger league, and were supposed to win. If we lose, then itâs the reverse, it was an upset (even though theyâre an NCAA contender now and played so well vs. Tennessee last year). I would think I wouldnât want to play them for those reasons.[/QUOTE]
Funny thing is that is the reason many ACC schools give for not playing us.
I am concerned that we may be getting screwed on these deals to the Bobcats arena personally. I heard a few years back Davidson didnât even get 50% of the ticket alottment for these games against Duke and UNC.

I really hope the school is figuring a way to bus the students down to Bobcats too.
we do have the minor transit system i think cats might be able to work something out.

No offense, Brick, but this is the same lame BS the ACC (and other âeliteâ schools) has used as excuses for not playing US over the years. Although, thereâs some validity in what you say, I HATE that WE now are saying this. I say WE WILL PLAY ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!! But then, Iâm old school and I still have the underdogâs chip on my shoulder and I always will, so Iâm eager to try and beat anyoneâs ass, if given the opportunity.

Say what?! Sounds like urban legend to me. I have lived in Mecklenburg County for 40 years, grew up in North Meck and went to school with the kids of Davidson College presidents, profs, etc., and I have never, ever, heard that.

Beauty of this list is the fact there was a period of time where
The Citadel, Clemson, Davidson, Duke, Furman, George Washington, UNC-CH, NCSU, Richmond, Va Tech & William & Mary
shared conference affiliation.
Most ACC fans I know would deny this period of time EVER existed.

Dax,
As I posted recently, the A-10 is going to re-visit the â3-school partnerâ scheme, so the Charlotte home-and-away versus Dayton, GW, and Richmond will change.
Also, La Salle will be an away game since they played us in Halton this season.
How are yall sure its Maryland? Werent we working on getting a game with NC State a few years ago? Or have they not won a championship?

Weâre not sure of Maryland. Itâs not set in stone yet. We are still working on it. Itâs just a rumor, but we are having discussions with them.
Man, the only thing worse than being cincinatti in the big east right now was being william and mary in the socon in the roaring 20âs. I know it was all pasty guys and the center was tall at 6â5" but still, UNC, NCSU, Duke, Florida, Tenn, Alabama, Vanderbilt, GW, Maryland, Virginia, VT, put these teams in a conference together and i guaruntee that even the best pac 10 team couldnât get to .500, 23 skiddo!
