I'm not really sure why you have such a beef with us that you feel the need to post a ridiculous rant like that. But allow me to at least enlighten you on a few things.<br /><br />First of all, since we started playing D-I basketball in 1970, we have won many more games than we've lost, so a tradition of losing doesn't really make sense.<br /><br />Second, playoffs...? This isn't the NBA. I'll assume that perhaps you meant the NCAA Tournament. We have made the NCAA's exactly 11 times in the past 50 years. No, not earth-shattering, but more than your "few". And perhaps your memory is bad, but in our C-USA days we made the Tourney 7 our of 10 years. Pretty nice tradition I would say.<br /><br />Thirdly, say what you will about Butler, but they beat the only team from your precious ACC that they played this season. That team would be none other than Chapel Hill. And mark my words, the "weak" A-10 conference will send more teams to the NCAA's than the ACC will. Beating ranked teams is hardly a fluke for us, by the way. If you look at our history we do it quite regularly.<br /><br />So enjoy your sad life of putting others down to make yourself feel special. And try to keep an eye out for us. We're called the Charlotte 49ers, and if you don't watch out, our little ol' team may just surprise you by taking a few of your ACC teams down in the coming years. This is still a very young team that's making some big steps toward being something pretty special. Just don't say we didn't warn you.<br /><br />GO NINERS!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-48015405778131027312013-02-15T14:31:45.203-05:002013-02-15T14:31:45.203-05:00The mirage fairytale fantasy for UNCC 49ers if the...The mirage fairytale fantasy for UNCC 49ers if they get lucky and get in will crash a quick death like the Siberian meteorite since there's nothing even remotely resembling tradition other than losing much less making the playoffs for 50 years more than a few times. They have bombed at the NIT once or twice although.<br />Enjoy this extreme rare novelty moment as it will be over soon and back to loser reality. <br />Even a broke clock gets it right once a day and of course the Butler win was a fluke although Butler is a joke even at 11th in a weak conference and weak schedule.<br /><br />Keep practicing hard and dreaming with eyez on the prize that maybe one day in the distant future UNCC might possibly be as good as a bad ACC team since anything is possible. Just keep your head up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-68379241788255383532013-02-15T10:37:14.066-05:002013-02-15T10:37:14.066-05:00Jeff, you're way off base with the "confe...Jeff, you're way off base with the "conference we were too good for" comment. It basically wasn't our choice to leave C-USA in the first place. We were forced out because the conference wanted to be a football conference, and we didn't have football. C-USA was a great place for us to be, and I can assure you the sentiment wasn't that we were too good for it. The A-10, while not ideal, was a pretty good place for us to go considering what we had to choose from. Now with football starting up, having the opportunity to be FBS after just two years really is a great situation to be in. We'll just have to hope basketball doesn't take a huge step back in the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-69703645994174674992013-02-15T09:41:15.320-05:002013-02-15T09:41:15.320-05:00It all revolves around football now for this unive...It all revolves around football now for this university, sad to say but true.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014498032803825659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-63083505333057071832013-02-15T07:24:25.970-05:002013-02-15T07:24:25.970-05:00And........with the A10 improving by adding VCU an...And........with the A10 improving by adding VCU and Butler......we just back to the conference we were too good for a few years back !
