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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
