The better UNCC does, the less the Observer reports.

In a perfect world, we'd pay more attention to money raised to fight disease than to promote entertainment. We don't live in a perfect world. <br />Thank you, David, for this little bit of coverage.

That seems ok with the Observer though, as lomg as they keep the accomplishments away from as many folks in Charlotte as possible. Not to mention missing an opportunity to help build community pride. Building community pride has always been a no-no with the Observer when it comes to the 49ers. How sad. Very sad.
