Furthermore, Stan Olsen blew your cover back in 1998. I was still listening to 610 back then and he came on Packers show and stated that in a meeting regarding covering us, he was told that the observer would only send him if we were undefeated going into the tournament.
I remember very clearly because the observer caught a lot of crap on the radio over Stans comment.
And, for the record, this isnāt bitching about 49er coverage, it is just about exposing Persinger for the fraud that he is.

Kiwane Garris felt it was his responsibility to get his Illinois teammates back in sync and thatās what he did Saturday against N.C. State in the fifth-place game of the Rainbow Classic.
The Illini (11-1) were struggling, down 13 points in the second half, when the point guard took charge.
NOW, what youāll say next is that we should have sent someone because youāre Charlotte. Iāll buy that one when you order your restaurant staff to cook a $2,500 buffet that wonāt be served until youāve closed.
Mike, I noticed something about these articles.
Why did we get page 7 while the team located over 100 miles away got page 1?
Mike, are you gonna give last yearās Super Bowl teams page 1 this year while giving the Panthers page 7?

Well I would find that disturbing except for the minor detail that YOU ARE NOT THEIR HOMETOWN PAPER.
I am sure that their HOME TOWN PAPER covered them.
I notice you didnāt dispute what I reported Stan cited as the reason.
You know what, donāt bother anwering. Youāre a fraud, regardless.
[i]Originally posted by 49erpi[/i]@Aug 11 2005, 03:30 PM [b] You're a fraud, regardless. [/b]That's funny coming from you.
What Stan said on the radio, I have no idea. Iāve been smart enough not to listen to WFNZ longer than you, obviously. And when that happened, I was not yet sports editor.
Hometown newspaper or not, if we canāt get it in time for publication, weāre not going, no matter who it is. Weāll hire a stringer a one-twentieth the cost to do a day-late story.
As for Over40s no readers in Durham, etc., comment, do you know any ACC fans in Charlotte?
[b]That's funny coming from you. [/b]
Why is that Mike?
Youāre the guy that comes on this board to lie, spin and instigate our fans with back-handed compliments.
How is it that you have time to monitor this board so much? Shouldnāt you be spending more time trying to fix that pathetic sports section?
Iām on vacation. Thanks for being my entertainment.

I think you may actually be on here less while on vacation, which would explain why your sports section is so embarrassing.
Mike, donāt you receive extra āincentivesā to promote the queers in chapel hill and their acc counterparts? If you do not, you need to have a talk with some former employees.

[/b]OK....I'm not even going to mention the hypocricy here where YOU make the same point I did....but it's OK for you to do it yet you criticize me for making the same comment/opinion.
No. I will not mention the hypocricy in that at allā¦oops.
Iāll just leave with this earth shattering statement:
āI AGREE WITH PIās QUOTE ON THIS ONE!!!ā
Hometown teams should get more ink from the hometown paperā¦and we donātā¦and thereās no excuse for itā¦and itās disgraceful.
You rock PI. Letās share a milkshake sometime soon OKā¦one glassā¦two straws?

Mike, are you going to ignore my question. Do you receive extra āincentivesā to promote the tarholes and their acc counterparts over us? We all know Packer does. He has his acc show and carries over the promotion to his regular show.
Iām not saying that you do or donāt but I have heard speculation that you do. The speculation has come from a graduate of unc-chapel hill too and not from anyone on this board.
I personally think you really like us but are not allowed to give us the credit that is way past due.
