Waiting for the first 49ers freshmen

"I kind of take that as a compliment," Lambert says about the rejections from the Big South and the Southern Conference. "They might be a little nervous to play us."

Pssst. Coach ? ....

You might want to check your schedule. You 'play' in the Big South whether you like it or not.

Nervous? Yeah, that must be it.

Yep, real nervous.

So nervous I can't stand it....nervous about one of our starters getting hurt before they get pulled at halftime.

I wish we were on that schedule.

UNCC should have a good 15-16 losses under their belt by the time they play the Eags. Get me a shirt and I'll pull for GaSo in Charlotte.

I know I'm a fan of a school who just started football but who would be nervous about playing a start-up program?

Now I would think that they wanted to get the "easy marks" (at least in their view) from each conference (save GaSou) which would explain why there is no sign of App State, or Wofford or Liberty or Stony Brook or Chattanooga...yeah...real nervous I think

They're probably just afraid of [sea]Wolves

Damn, you must really really HATE UNCC.

It's a deal, but I gotta get a pic of you in a GSU t-shirt.

wow, why so much hate for a program that hasn't played a game yet?

Here's how afraid we are.

I heard today from out associate AD that we called Charlotte as soon as they made football official and have not gotten a return call.

Come on G8, it's totally worth it.

Baldy wrote: ...

If by 'hate' you mean 'total lack of respect' then, yeah

We're smarter and better looking. We beat 'em in the classroom. We're much more fun to party with. We take all their women. Even their gays prefer our gays.

But they are Uptown; in the big city (actually, they are out by the county line, more a suburb of Harrisburg, in the shadow of the 'Concord' Motor Speedway, in over-developed urban-sprawl Hell).



BUT, seriously ...

Nothing really to be gained in playing them. They seem more interested in scheduling 'home & aways'. We can draw 30k with 'em, or we can draw 30k without 'em. If they want to come to Boone, pick up the phone.

And UNCC doesn't really want to play the Mountaineers at their 'new' home field. 1) They can't afford us; and 2) Their facilities can't handle us; because ...

there would be 20,000 App fans (if not more ) out-numbering their 'fans' 4:1 to 5:1 in a stadium built for 15,000. We didn't fall off the illegal likker truck, yesterday. Guarantee us 75% of the gate up front, and we'll talk.

Don't bank on it without a conference.

Norm49er wrote:How many FCS schools in the Colonial, Southern, or Big South have a bigger stadium then the brand new 45 million dollar -15,000 seat one we are building? My guess is not more than three or four.

Delaware
Georgia State
James Madison
Old Dominion

Appalachian State
Chattanooga
Georgia Southern
The Citadel

Liberty

...So 9 teams have bigger stadiums.

edit: 10 teams...forgot Furman.

Oh great, another 49er guy brought from NinerNation. I just might have to go there one day.

OIh no, super competitive. Which is why your AD said you'll only play teams that won't destroy you thus providing an excuse for not scheduling us. Then you go and schedule Georgia Southern and Furman who will destroy you.

It's funny 'cause not only are there "more than 3 or 4," but UNCC would be 5th in the Colonial and 6th in the SoCon.

and second in the Big South...

In addition to destroying the 49er fan's post, bonus points are given for using one of the best Dr. Cox quotes ever.

C-USA got a good laugh kicking you out.

We're all getting good laughs at the stupid crap Lambert and Rose are saying.

As for competing with us in 2-3 years, ask Coastal Carolina how that turned out.

Norm49er wrote:Well done guys. You are on your game. I will tell you this though - give us a two/three years to ramp up and we will be ready for App. State, Richmond, and whoever else wants a shot and we will advance to FBS football long before any of you. Why would we want to play you with red shirts and freshman? BTW - C-USA got a good laugh looking at your FBS feasibility study. Tell us again why your not moving out of your little comfortable pond?

the only thing you will EVER be is a punch line. you will take your lumps in the "little pond" and IF you 'move up' you will get passed around like your name was patty hearst. I welcome your trip to a REAL SOUTHERN CITY AND A GAME AGAINST REAL SOUTHERN MEN IN A FACILITY NAMED FOR A REAL SOUTHERN HERO. THE GAME AGAINST THE CITADEL WILL BE THE MOST LOPSIDED VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA CORPS OF CADETS SINCE THE BATTLE OF TULLIFINNY CREEK IN 1864. YOU ARE LUCKY THAT WE EVEN ALLOWED YOUR PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A COLLEGE THAT HAS NO HISTORY OR TRADITION TO SHARE THE FIELD WITH A SCHOOL THAT IS SO RICH WITH BOTH.

I truly believe UNCC can be competitive in the FCS. I wouldn't say it'll take 2-3 years, but UNCC has everything in place to be successful. The only thing that's going to hold them back, and this is a really big thing, is the lack of a conference affiliation so far. Obviously Rose hasn't helped at all in this regard, but if UNCC can get it together and affiliate themselves with one, then I do think they can be another model FCS school.

edit: In year 2 (and 1), UNCC will be playing a CAA program. I guess we'll see if they're ready or not.

lol where do you guys find this guy? Every time people start talking about football he pops up with "war this war that tradition military blah blah blah blah blah." what in the hell does that have to do with football? I mean seriously, great! Good for you citdog! Your military academy has more military officers than normal colleges. I don't think anyone here disagrees with you. Congrats on winning that argument with yourself. WE GET IT. Your college is older than America so there really is no need for collegiate sports. Citdog wins because he has been here longer.

...ever thought of trying another route to "scare" us over here at Charlotte?

The fact of the matter is that YOUR CITY IS A GROSS MONUMENT TO THE NEW SOUTH SCALAWAGS AND TRAITORS AND FULL OF PEOPLE FROM 'OFF'. YOUR COLLEGE, LIKE YOUR CITY, HAS NO HISTORY OR TRADITION AND IS A GLORIFIED ITT TECH FULL OF 30 SOMETHING SOCCER MOMS AND THEIR DOUCHE HUSBANDS. YOUR, BY YOU, HIGHLY TOUTED BASKETBALL PROGRAM IS NOW AN EMBARRASSMENT AND ALMOST DAILY A SOURCE OF LAUGHTER AND RIDICULE BY LOCAL SPORTS RADIO. I FEEL THAT YOU MUST BE yankee carpetbagging TRASH. NO SOUTHRON WOULD EVER HAVE TO HAVE THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION EXPLAINED TO THEM. IT IS THE INTEGRAL THING THAT DEFINES US AND MAKES US AS DISTINCTIVE OF A PEOPLE AS ANY OTHER WHO OCCUPY THIS PLANET. MY MENTIONING OF THE BATTLE AT TULIFINNY CREEK WAS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH YOU LIKE LEE WENT THROUGH HOOKER AT CHANCELLORSVILLE. FOR A VIEW ON HOW FOOTBALL WAS VIEWED BY SOUTHRON'S.........
