i like the schedule, but on paper i feel like its a little soft?? Maybe I am just over thinking this…
I really like our chances for a bad ass season!:49ers:
why is the font black, it’s not an official color
So is it too early to be making predictions on our record?
I really like our chances for a bad ass season!:49ers:At first glance, I say 21-7 going into the A10 tournament. I'll look into it a lot deeper after work, when I can actually think about each game.
I think we have a very legitimate shot at making the NCAA this year.
(Removes green tinted glasses)
when are they going to release the times of the games?

how did anyone not LOL at that?
I’m glad we are playing Pfeiffer in the exh. Finally a team I care about even a little.
I like the ODU game cause they are from where I’m originally from.
God I hope we can meet WF again so we can make some more of their fans’ heads explode.
Can’t believe they even tried to not schedule Davidson. It’s going to be so sweeet.
2 games against X, 2 against GW is sweeet. Dayton is here again and that is always a fun time. Can’t say too much bad about this IC sched. Hopefully we can get rid of this inner demon we have whenever we play Richmond.
I like this schedule, but I do wish we’d play more than 30 games. Even if they were cupcake-esque, that 20 win mark is kind of a magic number for NCAA bids.
I’m thinking somewhere between 22-8 and 20-10 will be our final record, but I haven’t seen our team yet.
[U] Roadtrips I wanna go on:[/U]
ASU
Anaheim Classic anyone?
Davidson
Maryland
Xavier
Richmond
GW

I beg to differ. After looking at the basketball court, the official colors are:
Font Black
Niner Green
White
Man, I just missed it yesterday! I was looking for it yesterday afternoon. Thanks for posting. They announced our A10 scedule and key games yesterday on News 14. Hey, we are picking on local team for Exhibition this year. Guess it’s to give the Canadians a breather after our tour of America’s hat.
I’ll be there for the Maryland and GW games.

because it wasn’t funny?

Ha… nice
how did anyone not LOL at that?because it was posted late in the evening.
This was an official press release from the Athletic Dept and no mention whatsoever in the Observer. Observer did run about 2 pages on the ACC schedule and did not highlight our game with Clemson or Maryland. They did list NCSU vs Davidson as a big one.
When will this run in the Observer???

It will run in Sunday’s paper along with the front page story of our victory over University of Toronto.

I’m sure there is a legit reason why the Observer hasn’t run it yet. Those guys get unfairly criticized too much.
- They either received the press release too late for today’s edition.
- They are hung over from all the effort they put into the Olympic coverage.
- They are gearing up for the last 2 races for the NASCAR Countdown to the Chase
- Panthers training camp
see, there are lots of “good” reasons. I don’t think we need to worry. They will look out for the school and do what is best for the Athletic Dept.
NOT
:cold slap in the face:
ok, back to reality. Can’t believe you expected to see it so soon. This is standard operating procedure at the Observer. I’m pretty sure they will acknowledge the schedule…sometime between now and the start of the season and of course, there will be Niner fans who thank Mike and Observer for the story whenever it runs.
The damage has been done. It is major damage…hell no. But a whole bunch of little things, like this, add up to the “out of sight, out of mind” perception that the general public in Charlotte has about Niners athletics. Reminds me of the Corey Shaylor story in the Spring/early Summer that ran in the “Neighbors of UC” section. Would have been a perfect story for the real sports page when you consider he was a local HS grad. But we continue to be stuck with a newspaper that is wedged too far up the ass of the ACC.
FWIW
They did talk about us last night on Fox. They showed footage of practice and mentioned our trip to Canada.
