Some Old Hornets Stuff

I was on the fence when the whole Hornets vs. Bobcats re-brand was at its peak. I loved the Hornets as much as I do the Bobcats, but I also wanted what was best for the team. If a re-brand meant more fans, then I was all for it. I don't want to lose another Pro Basketball team. And even though I know the team was named for its original owner, and that pisses off a lot of members on this board, I just care about the product on the floor and the direction this team is headed (which I think is very much up).

That being said, I will post (actually repost, I think I snapped this for a thread on this board a year or so ago) one of my favorite memories ever.

It was 1992 and I was 8 years old. Larry Johnson was my idol. So I wrote a letter (on notebook paper) to the front office of the Hornets. All I asked for was if he could sign the paper that I had sent him. Didn't need to be personalized. Didn't need to be on anything fancy. All I wanted was to know he read and signed a letter in which I expressed as much admiration an 8 year old could express for somebody so iconic in his life.

About 3 weeks later, the doorbell rang. No cameras. No team promotion. Just this:

A signed hat from the entire team that was personally delivered by LJ and Hugo.

I pulled some neat old stuff out of my parents attic. Brings back memories.

I also have tons more Hornets cards, Muggsy Autograph, and ticket stubs. Loved those days growing up in the 90s.

Your parents are racist bastards for kepping such items in their atic.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i presented this in another thread. he throws better to the out breaking routes the wr run, but almost nothing to the inside. that is half the options on a wr route tree. How do you run an offense like that?  even the outbreaking routes he throws are moonballs, that allow the DBs to catch up unless the wr is wide open. he has to throw with a lot of anticipation becuase he doesnt have the arm strenght to get it there if he is a little late. thats probably why you see balls behind the wrs.
