Sorry, I look outside and see it where I work...wait, I do work here and I'm not a "occupant" of a mental hospital. Right?

I agree that design has become too homogeneous, but I see what they were going for. They didn't want a big ugly football stadium messing up the design plan for the research institute. Had it gone anywhere else on campus, I doubt it would have been designed like that.

Totally agree with Scrum. Please stadium makers. Go in a different direction now. Ok we get it, you like retro. That works when you had something in the ya know, past.

Charlotte should do something college footballish and Euro soccer field. Translucent facades over the seats. Something out of the box.

That sounds like something a school with a well respected Architecture program would do.....oh....wait....:mad:

It has never made sense to me why a school with a great architecture program has so little variation in campus buildings. I think they've integrated the buildings very well into the surroundings and made the campus quite aesthetic, but I also see a lot of missed opportunity.

I like what they did with the new UNCC and CPCC buildings. They are a very safe style. And since they are mostly using our tax dollars to finance the the campus' then I'm glad they are going with something that isn't trendy.

The School of Architecture (top 5 in the nation by the way) is not allowed to design projects to be built. Some insurance/liability issue.

CRI campus is Georgian Revival. U made the brick decision 15 years ago and they're not going to change now. The new dorm being built shows a bit more boldness as does EPIC as far as size and types of window arrangements so at least they're taking the reins off a bit on design, as long as it's brick. The Highrises are also going to be bricked to resemble the Library Tower.

It's a safe look and ages well. Colvard Building was hailed and awarded numerous prestigeous awards when brand new in the 70's. I don't know a single person who sees it for the first time today that doesn't start their comments with the phrase "what the f***".

Having football is a good step in the right direction and will help out the school in alot of ways, but its going to take a loooooong-time till Uncc reaches respectable college status. As an educational institution, uncc is fine. As for the college experience, it blows major ass.

If it get Charlotte out of the A-10 it is a great move.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
