I take it as a compliment. They know what’s up.

maybe they can practice for a BCS bowl game…ohh wait hahahaha

It continues to amaze me how sensitive people are around here. This is not a slap in the face to the 49ers or our program. If UNC wants to scrimmage in an area where they have a ton on alumni, so be it. That is called outreach, which is an extension of marketing. I know we may not be used to that sort of thing coming from our schools AD but it’s not a big deal.

???

It’s just rude. I don’t think you see that happening anywhere else in the entire country. Should get the Normbulance out there with a tailgating crowd chanting We Are Charlotte.

FSU wouldn’t scrimmage in Miami or Atlanta.

Actually, they don’t have near as many actual alumni in Charlotte as you probably (and most people) think. I know our Alumni Association put out a brochure a few years back that says we have more alumni in Charlotte Metro area than NCSU, UNC-CH and ECu combined. I guarantee you that hasn’t changed…You may be right though, perhaps Lambert should schedule a a spring game for us up in Chapel Hill.

Coach Fedora did this at USM and he’s trying it out at UNCCH.

Their new coach did this same thing at So. Miss. He just brought it with him.

I don’t really care about them being here. I more pissed off at their medical program in our back yard. I do think that they are worried that now they might have to fight for a market they always assumed would be theirs.

^^^^^

Whichever has more alums.

Meh, who cares what their cheating asses do? I know if I were a Chapel Hill alum, I still wouldn’t cross the street to see their football team play.

F*** the Tarholes and their piss poor football program. Let them come entertain the redneck Walmart fans at a high school field. Won’t make them 1 bit better, and for them a winning season is beating Duke and State and NOT losing to ECU. Tarholes have FIVE, yes 5, whole North Carolina scholarship recruits in this year’s class on their football team, we have 20.

clt has commented on the blog. see if you can find it.

I can understand doing this in the Charlotte area, but at the closest high school to us… that’s a slap in the face. I agree with the tailgate idea.

Haaa…whens the last time they beat State in football?

Exactly…piss poor football program, especially for all the money and resources they pump into it. Flagship my ass.

So, old joke, but bear with me.

A State grad goes to Chapel Hill to see the UNC-CHeat/NCSU game. He takes his dog with him everywhere and needs to find someone to watch him while he’s in the game. He takes the dog into a local bar and asks the bartender, “Will you watch my dog for me while I’m at the game.” The bartender, naturally, responds “What? You must be crazy.” The man replies, “You don’t understand, this dog is special. When NC State scores he jumps on his front legs and walks across the room. When UNC-CHeat scores, he jumps up on his back legs and dances around. When NC State wins, he’ll do backflips across the room and stick the landing on his front paws.” The bartender then asks, “What does he do win UNC-CHeat wins?” The man replied, “I don’t know he’s only five years old!”

I like to tell this to any CHeat fan I come across, because (though Charlotte is not the hero) it bugs the HELL out of them. I enjoy seeing that because I loathe UNC-CHeat with every fiber of my being, whilst NCSU fans have always been nice toward me and the things they have to say about Charlotte.

Even though they’re alums, they’re probably not “our” fans.

I think our marketing department needs to get on the ball.
