Niners vs Johnson C. Smith

system · November 4, 2009, 3:12pm

So who all is going to the game on Thursday night? I know I’m ready for some Niner basketball! I just wish that we weren’t playing against a team that causes me to have so many mixed emotions.

Everyone knows that I love my Niners, but this game does create quite a conflict for me. The problem is this: JCSU is located on Beatties Ford Rd. It just so happens that two of my favorite actors are Warren and Ned Beatty. Can you believe it? Warren has been in so many awesome movies and Ned’s performance in Deliverance is just classic.

So you see my problem. I just hope that I have the strength to stay the course and cheer for the Niners and not the Golden Bulls.

I’ll be there… I’m bringing a co-worker who is a JCS alum with me.

I don’t see anything humorous about it. I’m really torn up about this.

I’m torn too Closet Fan. I’ve been reminiscing over a memorable (or what I do remember of it) of a Halloween night on campus chugging Schlitz Malt Liquor. Seems that someone decided to blow up a wooden foot bridge between Moore/Sanford and Holshouser/Scott that I somehow “slept” through. I’ve not touched The Bull since.

I guess I’ll have to go with the Norm’s Pale Ale for this game.

I’m also torn. They told me it was ‘Your Town, Your Team’ but which team is my town?

I’m looking forward to seeing the guys in action tomorrow night. I’ve heard that JCSU is pretty excited and I expect them to bring a few folks over to Halton. It might turn out to be a nice atmosphere. Especially for an exhibition.

JCSU is ranked 15th nationally for DII. They’re a pretty big deal in the black community in Charlotte, so I imagine the turnout for this will be much better than we typically get with Pfeiffer.

This should be a pretty good test. JCSU is basicially (and should be) a division one school. They are way better than A&T, WSSU, and a few others.

A co worker of mine has a daughter at JCSU. She said they have sent out emails to the students to take over our gym and wear the JCSU school colors. It seems like they are pretty hyped about the game.

HP49er · November 4, 2009, 7:54pm

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit, and might knock some sense into the students and our fan base.

Thats fine. There will be plenty of room for them in Belk Gym.

In all seriousness though, I hope we don’t go in overconfident. Syracuse just lost to a DII school didn’t they?

system · November 4, 2009, 9:29pm

I swear… we had better show up IN FORCE.

Mr_Bojangles · November 4, 2009, 9:37pm

That should make for a good atmoshpere. We will also gladly accept their money.

First game with the new students is always the worst. Nobody knows where to go, what line they are in, that they had to request/claim/print a ticket. Usually makes for a mess. Plus the fact that the student ticketing had issues this week.

anybody know if the JC Smith game is on TV or internet?

Niner_National · November 4, 2009, 10:53pm

If this year is anything like last year, the game can likely be found on http://channelsurfing.net

There is no tv for this game.

itsbraille49 · November 4, 2009, 11:00pm

which is why i think it helped that students used the student entrance for madness.

Can the game be watched on CBS College Sports All Access via the internet?
It is has that listed as watch on the 49er website schedule. Is that accurate? Dont want to pay to sign up and its a dud.

Niner_National · November 4, 2009, 11:40pm

That will work. That is where the channelsurfing.net stream comes from. If you go with channelsurfing, you’re placing your faith in someone else having the stream set up, it’s not a guarantee. By signing up, you’re helping out the school. If everyone relied on channelsurfing, the ability to watch online would go away entirely because it wouldn’t be profitable for the school.
