People always say that people go to Charlotte because they canāt get into Carolina. I couldāve gone to Carolina and I picked Charlotte because I liked it better. I received my Business Degree in 2004 with a concentration in Marketing, and right now Iām in charge of Marketing for the Charlotte area for the company that I work for. I think this Business Major is doing pretty good with a lowly Charlotte degree (in case anyone doesnāt get it, that is called sarcasm). All of these people who give their sob stories in that article are ignorant. āI canāt cheer for Carolina when they beat State because people wonāt like me.ā Cry me a river. That is pure crap. Friendly arguments my ass between which of our preferred teams have a better team. You go to this school, you pay to go to this school, you cheer for the rival and wear the rivals colors to your own home game against them, you are a shitty person. I grew up a Carolina fan, and I still root for Carolina in ACC play, but if they ever played Charlotte, I would root against them as if we were playing Cinci, Mempiss, or any team that Thuggie Bizzle decides to coach. Why, because Charlotte is my school. I went there and Iām proud that I went there. Oh, and as for people who are neutral fans, not students of Charlotte; they can wear whatever they want in my opinion because Iāll be damned if I donāt go to a Carolina game once a year decked out in green.

[QUOTE=CharSFNiners;212493]I didnāt come to this school for athletics. I came b/c I liked this school and its atmosphere and the fact it offered the major I wanted, one (architecture) that is tougher then normal to find and not offered at every institution (like arts, sciences, or business degrees). I root for Charlotte all the time and want to see them succeed in all ventures but for 18 years I cheered for only one other team. For some of you it may be cut in dry, but for some people its not so. Good thing is I never have to worry about Charlotte playing said team. Iām not a casual basketball fan either, I watch as much as possible and growing up my dad taught me the game, not how just to shoot but when your 10 and know what the off-man is doing, back screens, and the only kid in a rec. league taking charges, you have a much larger appreciation for the game. I emulate my style after my favorite team b/c I feel they give 110% and are very scrutinous of all facets of the game. Not b/c I couldnāt get into school there for a business degree.[/QUOTE]
The other kids must have hated you for taking charges in a REC league.

I donāt think they knew what happened haha.

Sorry, Sub I wasnāt dissing a business degree I just used it for example b/c its generally offered at just about every University. If thatās not why you said it ok, but if it is sorry I wasnāt taking a shot at business majorsā¦ and I would want Charlotte to beat Carolina too.
They should never root against their own school.
No State student should cheer for Carolina to beat State, & vice versa.
What a back-stabbing a55hole.

Na, that comment wasnāt meant for you at all. Iām sorry if it came accross that way. It was meant for people who will down any degree from Charlotte, just because itās not Carolina. Iāve dealt with that, and Iām sure others have too. Everyone that I have met in the business world who know anything know that a Charlotte degree is a good degree. Of course we have majors that arenāt as prominent as others, but you can find that in any University you look at.

Nice ******* post. Very well stated.
I was also accepted to āchapel hillā (and thatās what most of my friends who went there called/still call it) but I elected to go to Charlotte instead, and for numerous reasons.
I donāt mind people wearing attire from their real school to our games (we need all the fans we can get), but like others have stated, Charlotte students that wear attire from other schools to our games look like they have a problem. I guess the one exception is a grad student when we are playing their undergrad alma mater.
And as far as the āother school you grew up withāā¦ I grew up going to Wake games and continued going to Wake games after graduating from Charlotte, but I promise that Iāve been decked out in green every time we have played Wakeā¦ and now even have some issues with some of their fans.
