QCould the Charlotte Observer refrain from using āCharlotteā when talking about UNCC 49ers?Most people have no idea what you are taling about since there are so many Charlottes. You could use UNC-Charlotte. Its UNCC or UNC-Charlotte NOT just Charlotte. In the future please use UNCC or UNC-Charlotte 49ers to avoid any confusion and leave people hanging as to you who are talking about. We know Judy Rose messed everything up a few yrs ago with this name change that is asinine and causes confusion. This is unrelated to high school but it is related to local sports here. We have Charlotte Checkers, Charlotte Bobcats, Charlotte Sting, etc etc ā¦ its real confusing ā¦ We only have 1 UNCC or UNC-Charlotte. [B]UNCC 49ers[/B], University City 12/07/06
AI tell you what. I agree with you. I do not like calling them Charlotte, but thatās what Charlotte wants. I hear folks talk about Charlotte and think, the city? The Bobcats? City Council? What. UNCC to me is what they should stick with but it has that UNC-C thing. [B]Langston Wertz[/B] 12/08/06
We only have 1 UNCC or UNC-Charlotte.
Not anymore! With the Tar Heel medical school campus, we will have two.
does he get the tarheels the hurricanes and the panthers mixed up too? poor guy. must be hard.
Has reading comprehension become that lost of an art? When Langston talks about Charlotte getting a committment from a small forward, people are confused?
Can these people die while theyāre at it? Or at least not reproduce?
People always seem to ask, āHow would football help enrollment?ā
Well we wouldnāt have dumbasses like that guy coming out of our school.
We have Charlotte [B]Checkers[/B], Charlotte Bobcats, Charlotte Sting, etc etc .... its real confusing ..
To be honest, when I heard that Charlotte lost to Davidson 79-51, my first reaction was that they were talking about the Charlotte Checkers hockey team, too.
And when I hear that Charlotte is getting a small foward, I wonder, āHow did Martin St. Louis get himself demoted to the minors?ā
Savio, where did this come from? I would love to right a response for it.

I sincerely hope our alumni would know the difference if Charlotte (the Niners) was being referred to in an article. I can somewhat understand an outsider not knowing, but I could care less if they donāt like it. Take the time to figure out who heās referring to or shut the he!! up!!
What is Dr. Phil doing writing into Langston!?!?

Thereās a Q&A under Langstonās section on Charlotte.com

Heās right, though. It IS really confusing how everyone calls the team the āCharlotte 49ersā now. It was so much less confusing in the good old days - when there was only 1 UNC-Charlotte 49ers or UNCC 49ers or NC-Charlotte 49ers or North Carolina-Charlotte 49ers or UNC-C 49ers or ā¦
They should do the same thing with the Carolina Panthers. Iām baffled each time I read an article and Iām always wondering if the article is about hockey, or tar heel basketball, or the new NFL football team or whatnot. Maybe they can start calling the team āThe Carolina Football Panthersā to end the confusion - sort of like how they call āThe New York Football Giantsā to keep people from thinking that Barry Bonds is a running back. Or maybe the NFL-Carolina Panthers or the NFLC Panthers or the Carolina-Charlotte Panthers, etc ā¦ you know ā¦ to end all the confusion.
Isnāt he the one that plays video games and then writes about them?
I graduated from UNCC and was proud of the name. I didnāt graduate from Charlotte and Iām glad, they suck this year.
I responded. Here it is:
[QUOTE] This is in response to a Q&A you did a few days back about calling UNC Charlotte simply Charlotte. Why do you not like them to call us Charlotte? Because it is confusing? Do you get confused between the Panthers, Hurricanes, Tarheels, and Game****s too? Is it really that hard to figure out which Charlotte organization is being talked about when someone says Charlotte plays in the A10 or Charlotte played Davidson on Saturday?[/QUOTE]
We have Charlotte Checkers, Charlotte Bobcats, [b]Charlotte Sting[/b], etc etc
Think the Sting are headed to Kansas City, so now this personās brain can replace them with us.
Problem solved.
yes

Really? Huh, shows how much attention I pay to the WNBA.
i hate the name uncc. it sounds like 70ās and trashy. whenever somebody asks me where i go to school i say charlotte and then they look at me and say something stupid like āso you go to high school in charlotteā. its not really that complicated.

So you're watching ESPN and they say Charlotte just upset Houston. Which Charlotte? I would just prefer UNC-Charlotte, like it used to be. When you say Charlotte, I think the city or the Bobcats first.
