So what’s the deal? i thought we were gonna play State as soon as bobby and his boys rolled into town. It seems like our Uni is in complete disconnect with the ACC and North Carolina Culture and the need for a rival. I look at Indiana and the classic they hold every year between Notre Dame, Indiana, Purdue, and Butler and wonder why we couldn’t do the same?? Hell I would settle for South Carolina, Clemson, Wake Forest or any of the above. We have been a school of trailblazers making it happen I encourage we do the same with our BBALL schedule. In conclusion how many fires must we light to get respect?!!
F*** the Ah She She.
Not saying it’s right but the ACC & SEC schools around here really have nothing to gain by playing us. They win, they’re supposed to, we win it’s a blackeye for them.
You used Indiana as an example but we are not on the level of the schools you mentioned. We were before the program tanked about 7 years ago and did play some bigtime schools, now we are scratching to get back. At the end of the day, we are playing some “name” schools this year.
KSt, Michigan, GT and FSU are pretty big names. Our OOC schedule isn’t horrid. Our Conf schedule blows. CUSA is really bad after you get past a few teams, hopefully we are one of thetop 3- we better be.
And who in their right mind thought we would play NCSU when Bobby got there??!!?? Why would Bobby want to do us any favors after we shitcanned him??

State did want to play us the year Bobby arrived but our schedule (and for other possible reasons) wouldnt allow it to occur. Hopefully we finish strong this year and some made for TV games are added to our schedule next year. Charlotte will also be the site of the NCAA regional next year and that usually has a few schools wanting to play in TWA, it’s a location that although not on campus we do pretty well and it allows some fans that dont come to Halton an opportunity to get some exposure to our team and our program.
I can give you a million reasons Lutz should love us since he left.
I think we should schedule D2 teams and dominate them. If we have a tough time with one of them we can always justify it by pointing out that their baseball team was really good 4 or 5 years ago.
Sounds legit…
Why would Bobby be pissed? I’d love to be fired, & still get paid for 4 years. I would be doing stuff to GET fired.
Well, I guess that explains our tenure in the A-10.
I wonder if it has anything to do with money. I would love for the AD to let us know how much we would have to raise to bring a STATE, DUKE, WF, or Chapel hill to Halton. I think we could do it. I remember when i was living in Raleigh in 10 and listening to 99 the buzz and they were talking about playing us in Reynolds Coliseum to keep the history going. I think we should make it happen. I think we should hit their boards talking shit about how they are taking our sloppy seconds coaching staff and turn it into a rivalry game. ESP since Maryland is leaving the ACC it leaves a potential opening for rivalry week for the last game of the football season available. I also think we should call into 99 the buzz to make an up roar
What I think a good strategy would be is to pick a day call 99 the fan and do a full press offense and talk about how much Raleigh sucks. I also know they are very sensitive about being linked to the north and we should refer to them as Yankees. They all think the should be in the SEC and let them know they aren’t SEC material. any other input would be greatly apprieciated
I think you are out of the loop.
possibly, but i don’t buy the argument that they have no reason to play us. They play ECU, Davidson UNCG and UNCA virtually every year
We don’t have a history (outside of Coach Mullins, and I’m not sure his particular situation counts in this case) of serving as a coaching developmental league for former ACC athletes who want to become coaches. The result is that we have few if any coaching “emotional” ties to the ACC schools and thus we don’t get the “sympathy” ACC games that schools more willing to hire ACC cast-offs get.
i reject your notion. Davidson has had the same coach for 25+ years still plays top caliber ACC teams IN STATE. From Hofstra University. I purely put this on JUDY ROSE and DEMAND a RESPONSE!!! Why does JUDY HATE NC? Why Can’t she SCHEDULE A in state HOME IN HOME. Is she the equivalent of Obama incompatible? or just laziness with no self respect? Either way she is paving the way for a MAN in OFFICE. A man would get this DONE. She is an EMBARRASSMENT TO WOMEN AD’s LOOK AT NCSU!!!. WHAT A JOKE!
SUP YA’ll,
CLEARLY JUDY has NO RESPECT for NC athletics and NCAA Basketball. When was the last time she landed a IN STATE ACC basketball GAME? WFU what 5 + years ago embarrassment!!! GOod JOB!!! LOLZ? That’s A JOKE! LIke your LEADERSHIP!!! What A JOKE??? Clearly she HATES THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA!!! She doesn’t NEED TO GO SHE MUST GO!! HER HATEFUL VENGEANCE FOR NORTH CAROLINA DESERVES A RESPONSE!! AKA PUT HER ASS ON THE STREET. When will we get an AD with RESPECT That will REQUIRE AND HIRE responsible GAMES!!! We need an responsible AD not some side show clown that enjoys quotes in the Newspaper. Get it DONE!!!
Ummm I am no Judy fan, but not sure bout all this.

ah…what
Here is the sad reality, in-state ACC programs have no interest in playing us. What benefit do these programs get from playing us? They are perceived as superior, and in the eyes of their fans, a loss to us is unacceptable. A win over us has no impact on their program. We are not a guaranteed win or a high profile opponent, thus we are not on their non-conference radars. They play their conference tournaments here already every few years, and do not need us to gain exposure in the Charlotte market.
Is Judy perfect? Heck no, but the issues you have with her are often out of her hands.
Despite this, I absolutely believe we could improve our non-conference schedule, but we do not need match ups with in-state ACC teams to be successful. Wichita State has become a very successful team without the help of Kansas or K-State.
clt is worried.
