[QUOTE=Mr. Bojangles;335109]FWIW
They did talk about us last night on Fox. They showed footage of practice and mentioned our trip to Canada.[/QUOTE]
News 14 Sports night also. 
They even covered our womenâs soccer games this week. Yes, both of them.
[QUOTE=SilvioDante;335105]Iâm sure there is a legit reason why the Observer hasnât run it yet. [/QUOTE]
Could be Mikes hold up in a Beijing prison or something and couldnât get the story out. Just a thought.
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 todayâs 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 âgoodâ reasons. I donât 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. Canât believe you expected to see it so soon. This is standard operating procedure at the Observer. Iâm pretty sure they will acknowledge the scheduleâŚsometime 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 damageâŚhell no. But a whole bunch of little things, like this, add up to the âout of sight, out of mindâ 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 âNeighbors of UCâ 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.
Note: Our schedule was on the standing/stats page of todayâs paper, but I agree there obviously should be atleast a small story that hits the highlights on the schedule and the ACC schedule story was ridiculous, especially given that it didnât mention our games vs. the mighty ACC! What a joke!
News 14 Sports night also. :clap: They even covered our women's soccer games this week. Yes, both of them.
News 14 is exceptional, they provide coverage of all teams and do it wellâŚI live in Raleigh and no longer watch the local sports geeksâŚ
Hereâs a flyer on why they didnât run it. They arenât convinced the Davidson game will actually be on and are checking behind the scenes to see if that is the case before they run the story.

My 2 cents - What a long, stupid December it is gonna be.
Is it too early to piece together the television schedule?

There are only going to be two home games in December and they both are against undesirable opponents, so yes, it will be a very long, boring December. At least we have DavidsonâŚ

4 games is long and stupid? January is combined in there...it wasnt separated like it shouldve been.
Yep, I noticed the 9 games in January.

RWORKMAN understood what I was attempting to say. Take away Davidson, and the only games to look forward to are Long Island and Youngstown State for essentially an entire month. I doubt that there will be much to talk about on the board in preparation of those two schools.
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???
[quote] ACC SCHEDULES RELEASED, PAGE 1
niner fans, read about your teamâs schedule on page 8[/QUOTE]
.
Anyone have any idea about any of the away games being on TV?
We might get the Xavier game since Xavier has a broadcast agreement with Fox Sports in their area. Shouldnât be terribly difficult to get it shown here as well.
[QUOTE=Ninerballin;335191]Anyone have any idea about any of the away games being on TV?[/QUOTE]
Maryland game on Jan 3rd is on CSN (Comcast Sports Network), according to the ACC schedule that ran in our very own Charlotte Observer.
......... according to the ACC schedule that ran in our very own Charlotte Observer.That schedule was great, wasn't it. I bet some basketball fans have already cut out the schedules and taped them to the fridge.
Donât worry Lefty. Iâm sure our schedule will be in one of Utterâs blogs. Besides, every Niner fan knows they can get their Niner news on this very site. :rolleyes: (end sarcasm)

Iâm pretty sure there will be plenty to talk about on this board in December, considering we are currently talking about these games in August.

Donât know about you, but I totally expect that, in December, I will still be wondering when the Chancellor will state his opinion on football to the Board of Trustees.
