[b] I believe the 6th team got an NCAA Bid, try again. ;) [/b]
That's been my complaint about those clowns. They talk about six teams from the acc getting bids but intentionally fail to mention 6 teams from OUR conference getting bids. It's all about perception & they constantly attempt to perceive us as second-rated to all acc teams. No, it is not accidental. It is nothing but the typical propaganda that comes out of the unc-chapel school of gay journalists. Just giving us "coverage" is not good enough. Our conference sent more teams than the acc to the NCAA last year but I don't recall EVER seeing that mentioned in the Observer. Instead, we were forced to listen to Mike P whine & cry because many Niner fans were fed up & said nasty things to him.
Ok, I just bought Saturday’s paper & admit they gave us nice exposure. They still refuse to acknowledge that we have been better than many acc teams since the early & mid 90s. They still talk about all the acc teams going to post season but will not give us credit for CUSA sending more teams than the acc for 2 of the past 5 years. They still omitted our Senior Day last year & they still buried a CUSA team making the Final 4 on page 16 2 years ago while putting the other 3 teams (none from the acc) on the front page. They still give us thje perception that we are not as good as ANY acc program.
Expect more space this year, but it’s gonna be interesting to see if they give us the “respect” we deserve. I hope they do & if so, I’ll the the first to tell Persinger “thank you”.

[b] Over40 bought a Charlotte Observer :wow: [/b]
Yep. I buy them when there is an article about us. Today's (Saturday) article was actually impressive. It's just a shame they usually find a way to perceive us as always being 2nd rate to ALL acc schools. We have a better program than many of them but you will never read that in the Observer.
