CFI Thank-You

Charlotte 49er Football šŸˆ
1

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to all the members past and present of The Charlotte Football Intiative. It was over 2 years ago that we first met and discussed what we would need to do to make football a reality. Numerous things were discussed, how USF did it, why we havenā€™t done it, disproving past rumors of why we havenā€™t, the numbers involved, tactics we should use, etc. We talked about the charlotte football website and it happened. We talked about making pledges on the website as a source of showing support and it happened. We talked about car stickers and it happened. We talked about making tshirts and we did that. We talked about creating a student base of CFI and it happened. We talked about making mini-footballs and we did it. We talked about a football rally on campus and it happened. Here we stand on a HUGE day for this school and her supporters. When we first met I wanted football, and hoped that in time we could help bring it to be. With that said I was still not sold on the fact that we could really make it happen, that we could succeed where so many others had failed. On this day, a mere 2 years later we can stand victorious and say that we helped make this happen and I just wanted to take a moment to say thank-you.

Our job is not done though - it is just getting started! GO NINERS!

NinerWupAss is the one who convinced me we could get football somewhere between 5-8 years ago is when I started to believe. Before that, I thought we never would have the Admin. & Athletic Dept. get on board with ending our Community College status in ACC country.
I liked the CFI meetings, & I liked meeting all of you. Weā€™ll have to find a designated driver in 2013 because Iā€™ll probably be drinking green beer. Unless Iā€™m married by then, then I probably wonā€™t be able to do anything, & Iā€™ll have to be civilized at the game.

So excited to see this program grow from 12 of us in a room at Hickory Tavern to bowl eligibility. We arenā€™t done yet! We are still just getting started!
