I had emailed Tom Sorensen at the O about his article on Charlotte Football. I let him know that I appreciated his support and asked if he would be writing any more football articles in the near future. He said that he plans to write another extensive article in August. He said he wants to push support and keep the public aware of what is going on. If anybody has other examples or ideas of support to get into the publicâs head post them here.

Funny. Tom is using his position at the LOCAL newspaper to push a LOCAL schoolâs drive to add football because he feels that it is HIS duty (and his NEWSPAPERâS) to make the LOCAL public aware about the LOCAL school!
ATTN: Mike PersingerâŚthis is all weâve ever asked of the Observer.
Glad to see that Tom gets it.

Well, at least until he pisses us off again. :biggrin:
If I get sent to the Phillipines for 5-6 months, weâll have support in Manila.

If you mean, shave out messages on domesticated felines, then yes. If you mean place ads on the side of Charlotte Area Transportation System vehicles, then no.

No, weâll be hated.

Fixed.

HmmmmâŚno response form Mike on this one?
YeahâŚthat doesnât surprise me.
Yeah I never really cared for Sorensenâs articles until recently. I really do feel that he has a passion for the things that he writes. In his email to me (which he responded to in about 5 minutes after I sent it) he really addressed a passion for Charlotte Football. These are the people we need to give us that PR boost!
I find it interesting you all never cared for Sorensonâs articles. I actually always enjoyed reading them - even if I didnât agree - because in a sea of crap that is written in the Observer, his are always well written and well thought.
Anywho, Thanks a ton for the support Tom!

Does this not make sense to you?
Tom didnât write the article to âsell papersâ, he did it because he feels an obligation to spread the word to the masses about the LOCAL school.
Does football make sense? I think it does. Tom does, too.
So if thatâs what you mean, yes, it makes sense.

Heâs promoting the school out of respect. The respect of something good happening in the city of CHarlotte, at the school in Charlotte, that most people in Charlotte are not aware of but should be.
Seems like that should be the stance taken by the Big O for all Niner endeavoursâŚnot just Football.

Well, except maybe things like the transit study and the shenanigans that went on there. If we were the âpromotingâ that Niner endeavor, we wouldnât have reported that story, which calls into question the integrity of all studies done by the university. But Iâd say thatâs a good story for us to report. If that kind of stuff is stopped, it keeps the value of your diploma from being damaged. But itâs not likely a story the university wanted told.

I mean we were just talking about sports with you. Last time I checked you werenât the head of âstudiesâ or ânewsâ from Charlotte. Lets keep on the topic which is the Oâs covarage of Niner SPORTS. Look, overall I think the observer has done better this year than ever with covering Charlotte 49ers Sports. People just get upset on this board and they really have a right to be when it IS so hard to get covered in your âownâ city. I think that it is easy for someone else who is a non-U of Charlotte student to say that we arenât âBigâ enough or that we arenât competitive enough but the fact is that we are. Golf, Baseball, Track, and many of our womenâs teams (granted these sports arenât HUGE on the national spotlight) are having record seasons. It would be expected that a Local Paper of the city in which the University resides would be excited about this just like the paper is excited about the âBobcatsâ or âPanthersâ. It just is frustrating sometimesâŚ
