965241.jpgNice looking stadium for FCS program. I can't imagine Charlotte being FCS more than 4 years.

I posted in CFB forum as well. It's a great day to be a 49er. Some friends of mine were some of the forefathers of this. This achievement is the perfect example of the internet making a difference. Had it not been for Ninernation.net, this never would have been organized and executed like it had. The administration ignored calls for football for years, but NinerNation.net allowed the masses a place to gather and put a plan into action until it was too large to ignore.

Great for the school and the athletic department as a whole.

It is incredibly difficult recruiting top talent to play in the A-10.

If you are talking football, there is no A10 football conference so you are correct, it is very difficult to recruit top talent to a league that doesn't exist.

If you are talking basketball, Xavier and Dayton both have no problems drawing in top 100 (and even top 50 on occasion) talent.

The A10 gets more top 150 players in basketball than any non-BCS conference. It's hard to get 'top' talent, but I wouldn't go as far as to say incredibly difficult.

Good lord they are going to suck for a long long time. A new team in the vaunted football state of NC? ugh

We'll see. It all depends on how the program is run. I think Charlotte is a great location for FCS level football. I wouldn't be surprised to see Charlotte excel at that level. If we move up to FBS, then yes, we'll probably be a pretty poor program at that level for quite a few years.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Don't have to be miss cleo. His weakness are length, athleticism, creating his own shot, defense, finishing at the rim,  Strengths - shooting and IQ.   Likely won't work as non athletic shooters don't typically work.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      I live in Indiana and took a trip that weekend to watch my two friend's teams play (Chiefs and Vikings) IN Minnesota when they were playing at a college field, I think TCF? Anyways, our plan was to watch the game (noon game) then do some shopping at the Mall of America, I wasn't planning on watching the Panthers play Seattle since I was out sight seeing and walking around after the noon game had ended. By the time we were walking back into the Mall the Panthers were down by 2 scores in the 4th or going into the 4th and we were all thirsty from walking around for 2.5 hours after the Vikings game so we decided to postpone shopping until after we ate. We found this nice little sports bar inside the mall that had the game on. Man, I'm so glad we skipped shopping because that was probably the most excited I've been in some time for a win. Beating Seattle in 2015 felt like the "monkey off the back" sort of feeling and I knew we had finally arrived as a team. The entire bar erupted when Cam hit Olsen for that walk off TD. Literally one of the greatest moments of my life. My friend wasn't so happy though lol, by the time the Panthers game ended ALL of the stores inside the mall had closed and he wasn't able to get any souvenirs. It was his first time watching a Vikings game live and making a trip like that so he was legit upset lol. I on the other hand couldn't have been happier.
