Good news for the 49ers!

Why is this a blog and not part of the main Charlotte Observer?

Honestly, congratulations on finally getting football. Really, that's a stand up achievement. You should be proud. You got an old man, who's concerned about his "legacy" to buy the naming rights to your high school football field. Again, very impressive. But what is trolling? Is it looking over the Charlotte Observer's website for NEWS and finding links like the one above? Awesome recruit you guys! That's all you needed to put you over the edge. I'm sure after many hours of deliberation he finally landed on UNCC over Georgia Coastal and Tallahassee Tech. Magnificent. The point is I along with many other people don't find this "cover" page material b/c it's not. My name is Bill Williams and I don't give a crap about 49er football. #freedavidscott #ninerirrelevency4life

I was just sitting here this morning with my cup of coffee wondering to myself, "What does Bill Williams think about us getting football? For? Against? Indifferent?" I couldn't stand not knowing. I rushed over to this blog to find out, and lo and behold, he had graced us with his presence! I quickly read through everything he had to say. At first he sounded excited for us, and I was elated! I was heartbroken when, as I continued to read, I discovered that in fact he did not care about our football program. What was I to do? Should I follow in his footsteps and also stop caring about football? It seemed the only logical thing to do, and that's when I quit caring about 49er football...

By the way, according to Rivals, he had offers from Furman and ODU in addition to us, as well as interest from Auburn, Florida, and West Virgina. I really don't care if that impresses you or not, but I thought I might set the record straight since the "article" didn't say.

Bill Williams = David Scott

The troll was trying to ruffle your feathers, fellas. Obviously it worked. You guys need to be less defensive. On a more positive note. This guy sounds like he would work well out of the slot and on special teams.

What's wrong with being defensive? If someone comes on here to talk smack about my team, I'm going to defend that team that I'm passionate about. I don't care if he was only trying to ruffle feathers, I'm still going to stand up for my team. I don't just sit and take it, and I don't see a problem with that.
