Q&A with Langston Wertz - Charlotte, UNCC, UNC-C

Langston needs to stop exposing what he learned in school or his idiocy by going back and play his video games. Hmmmm! May be I could use him as an example to help my thirteen year old nephew. You guys know the one . . . "this is your brain; this is you brain on video games".

It’s so easy to picture Langston sitting on his couch with his X-box controller in his hand and a pork rind stuck to the side of his cheek. I can see him with his College Hoops game scrolling through the list of teams for a quick game. Before he clicks ā€˜start’ he’ll chuckle to himself and realize that he picked the ā€˜Miami (OH)’ team from the Mid-American Conference. ā€œOopsā€, he’ll say, and then he will quickly go back to the ACC directory to choose ā€˜Miami’.

But then he’ll decide to play his beloved Tar Heels against a Big East opponent. Pittsburgh is a good team. Maybe he’ll play a lousy team like South Florida. Providence is sometimes overlooked. Should he choose Syracuse? It might be fun to play the video game in their arena. Louisville? Cincinnati?

Then he spills some nacho cheese on his underwear and inadvertantly moves the left thumbstick. He’ll accidently moves to a different team selection page and see the words ā€˜Charlotte’ with a green background and a pickaxe ā€˜C’ symbol spinning around.

ā€œWHAAAAA?ā€, he’ll exclaim. Is this the Charlotte city council? Confusion will seep in and he won’t know what to do. After an hour or two or staring blankly at the screen, he’ll pass out on the couch while he drools into a McDonald’s napkin.

Do they have a section of a freshman class at Crap Hole Hill that teaches that they are the only university worth a sh!t in the state because they were the first, and that any school with ā€œUNCā€ at the begining is open for abuse and manipulation?

I don’t know about langston spilling nacho cheese on his underwear. But, your post made me spit coffee all over my screen. :lmao:

The sarcasm is strong in this one. You’ve really been on a roll lately Survivor :biggrin:

There you have it. That's what a degree of journalism from "carolina" will do.
The Panthers give out degrees in journalism? Or is it the Hurricanes?

Well, if we do superlatives for 2006, this article is nominated for ā€œmost insipid Observer editorial of the yearā€.

Not Langston’s or the Observer’s best. In fact, it’s pretty much the worst they could do.

According to a very close member of my family, they do precisely that… especially in Journalism and the TV type majors.

Maybe he went to Hurricane U…

Dammit! Not only is Langston giving Carolina and Charlotte a bad name. Now he’s doing it to video games! This time it’s personal… again.

I actually replied again last night. The dang comment field has a 1000 character limit. I had to revise mine down from 2000+. This guys just makes it too easy and fun. That comment about getting the Bobcats or whoever mixed up with the city council still makes me laugh.

Wertz is checking his inter-office mail again:

[QUOTE][SIZE=4]Q[/SIZE] We agree UNCC is the name that should be permanently attached. With all the history of Charlotte torn down with the wrecking ball downtown and all over we cant allow these same wreckers to destroy this UNCC name. Heck, some wanted to change it to Charlotte U or U of Charlotte. Stupid. 30 yrs from now there would probably want to change it again. Never ending. Isnt it odd how history is important everywhere but here? Look at the holy lands. Palestine/Israel and all places sill have the same names and buildings after 3500 yrs. There is even a Nazareth, Jerico, Bethlehem etc. all intact. Nothings changed. Leave history and names alone. UNCC is a great name. ā€œCharlotteā€ is already taken.

[SIZE=4]A [/SIZE]Don’t know if I’d go comparing Charlotte with Nazareth, but I feel you. Point taken. I did like Sorensen’s suggestion that Charlotte join the Southern conference (he wrote getting ready for all the nasty replies).

The costs of starting football would be cheaper and Charlotte could rule the basketball-playing portion of the league most years. I hate the A-10 thing, by the way. [B]Langston Wertz[/B] 12/15/06
