I’ve returned to the house and I’m settling down. I took way too many photos tonight and then spent time talking to Coaches Lundy and Lutz instead of coming on back.
I’m posting two photos. One was a lucky moment to catch, the other has me quite pissed off at game management for allowing it to occur (for obvious reasons). I’ll get the other photos up sometime over the weekend.

Hey guys…that was my son wearing his Carmel Middle School hoodie. For your info he loves Charlotte basketball and went to Lutz camp over the summer. To boot he gets slammed at school every day for wearing niner gear b/c all the other punks wear chapel hole crap. He’s 13 years old, 6 foot, wears a size 14 shoe has mad skills and wants to play for the Niners one day. If you want me to start steering him elsewhere I will otherwise give him some respect…thanks!
He wasn’t the only one, by far. I went upstairs at halftime to the hospitality suite and observed the following:
[LIST]
[]Older female alum wearing a WV vest.
[]Female student or young alum wearing a Florida Gators sweatshirt
[]Male student/young alum wearing a Tarheels ball cap
[]Girl wearing a Gamecocks fleece[/LIST]Those were just the ones around the area I was sitting. I’m apathetic about it at this point because it’s never going to change. It was that way when I went to school there and it still is. I just opt to let them look dumb.
I have changed my tune on this quite a bit. I now don’t really care. When I went to the davidson/UNCP football game, I wore a niner shirt. When I got a panther game, niner shirt. When i went to the Clemson/Temple game, niner shirt. Guess what, I was a paying customer. I still cheered for a team, they weren’t “my team” but who cares. Until we can get 9105 people in green, I’ll take a paying customer who is not wearing the opponents colors anyday.
Since no one else wants to respond to EJ’s comments on the sweatshirt I will. I don’t care what skills he has and that he wants to attends Charlotte. My son was also a ball boy for the past four years. There is a uniform. If you don’t wear it, you don’t ball boy. What he puts on at 0:00 is between him and the parents.
A worker at McDonald’s doesn’t come in for the breakfast shift wearing a Burger King uniform.

I saw him last night and I knew it had to be something else since he was decked out in Niner gear.

Your a complete moron…he was wearing the hoodie b/c, as you might have noticed, it was cold outside. He had if off the enitre first half but put it on at halftime b/c he didn’t want it stolen. He forgot to take it back off after halftime and was kindly reminded…I don’t have a problem with that. He’s been on the ball crew for 5 years now and know’s the gig well. He also has a lot of pride in his middle school…I guess that’s terrible too? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt since your probably a young punk kid yourself. When you’ve put as many years into the school and program as me you can run your mouth…until then you know your place…thanks.

I openly criticized a dozen people for wearing “other” college gear last night, but don’t slam the kid for wearing his middle school sweatshirt at halftime…he was decked out in niner gear from hat to socks.
