[QUOTE]Xavier will need all the help it can get in an Atlantic 10 that has become even more competitive. Dayton is the clear favorite, and Richmond is a real threat to finish in the top three of the standings. And sleeping on teams such as [COLOR=DarkGreen][B]Charlotte [/B][/COLOR]and UMass, let alone traditional A-10 powers Temple and Saint Joseph’s, would be a mistake.[/QUOTE]

I’ll have a pint of the green kool-aid barkeep

YEAH! Don’t sleep on dem NINERS!!!. They COULD beat you!:lmao:

Isn’t that the equivalent of being told “your kid might be mentally slow, then again, maybe not. We just don’t have a clue either way”? :biggrin:

3

Or he is saying “I really like the Niners this year, but I am not going out on a limb and pick them for anything because they will surely make me look bad.”. I can’t blame him.

4

or he is saying that “the Niners were crap last year and that it would be a ridiculous and amazing turnaround if they were good this year. but there’s a chance they might be good.”

“Hey the women’s team is bad ass!!!”

If you are talking about the Volleyball team I will agree with you wholeheartedly no matter what their record is! :tongue:

When I read the thread title, I assumed that Andy Katz admitted to a disasterous sexual encounter with a woman named Charlotte.

8

I’d say he’s putting himself out on a limb to suggest that we’re a team that should be watched. Especially after last season.

Yeah it felt like a back-handed compliment. But it’s ink. I’ll take it.

10

She’s got a great body but an ugly face. Nothing 12 beers won’t take care of.

OR- she’s a little heavy but is pretty and is a friggin ball- take a chance.

Are you guys now realizing how I got laid so much back in the day???

11

Back handed indeed. Of all the teams that don’t have a chance, Charlotte has one of the best ones.

4 straight losses to Richmond, and they are predicted to actually be good this year. Rut-roh. If we don’t at least split with the arachnids this season I might become a spider serial killer.

I think that might actually be in our favor. We don’t seem to do so hot against the weaker teams. Not in my experience as a Niner fan anyways.

Ugh, I’ve yet to witness a Niner victory in the Robins Center. It’s getting pretty rediculous.

I bet you see one this year----mark it down!..:biggrin:ahhh, this kool-aid is quite refreshing!

I’ve been once. I doubt I’ll ever go back.

If it weren’t for the generosity of the Gordon family, that trip would’ve been a lot worse.

Beating them there, this year, with what they have back?

Highly unlikely. That goes against everything about our program right now. We have too many new faces, they play a style that confounds us on D and they light us up from outside, and there’s a stigma attached to playing them now. Plus they get Geriot back.

I’d love to see it happen. I’d also love to see us beat Duke, Tenn, Louisville & Ga Tech.

I think we all need to sleep on Charlotte…every time we don’t they sleep on us. I’ll sleep on us and hopefully something will wake me up this time…

I can understand why someone would have this line of reasoning, but I find it easier to just wait and see. I think there are a lot of unrealistic expectations built for our program and when we fail to meet them our fanbase that bought into it becomes disillusioned.

I also find that there are a ton of disillusioned fans that expect failure. I never know what we’re going to produce, but I know it has been a long time since we were relevant in college basketball and I hope we buck that trend sooner rather than later.

You read it here 1st.
