    I still don't understand why you all think the media has to give your team coverage at all.

    Where'd you get that from? All I did is ask him a few questions. It wouldn't hurt having the local media on our side. It could only help.

    No, I'm serious, some of ya'll are pissed because UNCC doesn't get more coverage in the observer. Do you pay their salaries? Do you manage them and tell them what they can fit every day? Are you a higher up limiting them to what they can do? Ya'll are some selfish bastards that have no idea what the media is all about.

    Oh, and HP, good luck getting downstairs to the media room to eat those cookies.:cool:

    I just hate that this type of whining is one of the things that UNCC is best known for around Charlotte.

    And it will continue for another 15-20 years until the University becomes the largest in the UNC system for undergraduates. By then there will be another 25000 grads in the Charotte area.

    I don't see how that will help you get a better basketball team. The surest way for y'all to get more coverage is to have a better team. Right now y'all are the 3rd or 4th option for this region. And since the Observer is a regional paper, that means that you don't get the coverage that the ACC schools do.

    vp, are you saying 40000 alums in the Charlotte area won't mean anything to the Observer or their advertisers? Hell, Chapel Hill currently has more alumni dying per year than UNCC graduates in a year. Those numbers are slowly catching up.

    It's not about making a better ball team, it's about coverage. And Real had it right, the angle of local players staying home and performing to become All-Conference with the 49ers would've been a nice story.

    I also think the Observer would not want to be called a regional newspaper. That's my opinion though.

    Go to the eastern part of the state and ECU gets football and basketball coverage that the 49er are looking for. So it's not all about having a good team.
