I'm not gonna say that Metro's not over the top sometimes. So what? He's a former athlete who champions the school. He's not the kind of person you want run off.
ooh, uh, yeah. iâm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. yeah.[COLOR=Black].[/COLOR]
disband baseball team

Youâre just a name on a computer screen. metro is a person and fairly visable as our fans go.
Could you imagine how great the PR would be if we had Metro saying, yeah I was a former All American at Charlotte, but the fan base there said we didnât need fans like me? So, Iâm throwing my hat into the tarheel ring like countless others!
Iâm not saying you have to agree with anything he says, but to say he shouldnât be a vocal fan of our program is silly. You want people who have brought positive attention to our school to stay on board. There are a few former athletes who post here and I hope they all stay life long fans.
And again, you donât have to agree with what anyone says, but why would you want to keep fans away? Except for dax.

the funny thing is these people know Iâm right about the Clemson-Niner coverage being horsecrap, but they like and are friends with the Observer guys, or so want their endorsement so bad that they rush to their defense. sad
sometimes a spade is a spade
over the top is the only way sometimes. see football. you have a bunch of people who donât know what theyâre talking about screaming at you that what youâre doing is impossible. why? because they know they literally mean nothing and their voice of opposition is the only thing they have left. i might agree that a lot of us take it over the top with the observerâŚbut only considering we donât need to say anythingâŚno one buys it anyway.

Good point, it would be great to have a former athlete say great things about the school and support it both in athletics and academics, but the impression I get from his posts are that he canât stand the school, the administration or anything they do.
Letâs just accept the fact that the O is an ACC paper and move on. Nothing against Mike P or anyone in the O sports department but other than Utter are there any UNC Charlotte grads on the paper sports staff? I know Scottyâs dad and Tom S. have been mostly positive toward us but itâs a stretch to expect graduates of other schools to care about us. Especially when their schools and the schoolâs theyâve played every year for 60 will not play us. If ACC schools didnât avoid us like the plague then perhaps the O would take notice but they wonât play us for obvious reasons and if we donât register to the ACC schools then the O will not care. This would not change even if we were in the Big East. Even if the majority of people in this region eventually pull for us as their #1 team the O will still be full of ACC lovers. Itâs called myopia and the O sports staff can only see 3 letters: ACC.

Judy and CHP are pretty big failures, but I love my alma mater. Neither is a Niner, and neither have UNC Charlottesâ best interest.

I can understand metroâs frustration. I donât agree with everything the guy says, or everything anyone says (especially that communist NLP) but heâs still a fan of our school.
Also, you can cherry pick his posts and find the negative, but there are plenty of positives in there too. His war against Judy Rose has softened greatly with the new baseball stadium.
I hate that even have to defend a poster on this message board. I guess now that most of the âbad guyâ posters are either banned or have given up on this program, we have to have villians. I just wish we could unify against Persinger, Eye of the 71-70 and Powerbait.

i just canât stand that guy.
[quote=thelew1014;387190]He left at will, then came back and started a list of people that he doesnât see fit. [B]Iâd rather he stay away⌠he starts more **** than is worth it.[/B]
For the record, I disagree. I have NEVER met Metro/Tim, but he is exactly what we need more ofâdiehard Niners who love our school and will not bow down to any others or make excuses for groups working against our schoolâs best interests (whether intentionally or not).
Also, as I recallâMetro didnât claim he was NEVER going to post as some of you seem to be insinuating. I seem to remember him posting that he intended to post LESS in the new year and I believe he has.
Goodness, guys. The pictures moved through AP, taken by the Anderson paper's photographer. That we had photos AT ALL of a college baseball game is stunning. We ran every photo we got from AP, we didn't cherry pick anything.:lmao:If this is the reason you cancel, I wonât stand in your way.
This isnât TBR, no you tube tags.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with a policy or decision, but why should he or anyone, have a âwarâ against Judy, or anyone else?

This has evolved from where it started, but let me just say again. I donât agree with everything that comes out of Metroâs mouth/keyboard, but that doesnât mean that he shouldnât be a part of the program.
And, in case you missed it, I did say I donât understand why we fight each other at all. That goes to everyone that posts. There have been serious hissy fits throughout niner fandom, and I understand that people donât like each other, but I know that there are people who have become more disillusioned with our program because they have been chased off or alienated by other fans of our program.
I just donât see the benefit in telling fellow fans to screw off.
