So, tell me about Charlotte

[Notsince1985]

Is Michael Jordan still the owner? Is that little white former NBA guard, Hornaeck, still the coach?

 

[Don Caneleone]

Chris Leak is from there.

I heard they play the ACC Football Title game there, but that's not relevant to Miami.

The Queen city. In Mecklenburg County. Take the kids to Discover Place, a Charlotte Knights game, or a short 20 minute ride south to Carowinds if you are in town.

NASCAR hall of fame is there. You know, if you're into that kind of stuff...

You can visit the race shops too. Oh and we currently have the only undefeated team in the NFL.

Pretty good basketball (not pro of course) and fairly good bars downtown.

Here's a fun fact

The nickname "49ers" derives from the fact that the university's predecessor—Charlotte Center of the University of North Carolina (CCUNC - established in 1946) was saved from being shut down by the state in 1949 by Bonnie Cone, when the Charlotte Center became Charlotte College. Due to this "49er spirit" that Cone felt embodied the University, referring to the settlers that endured much hardships in traveling across the United States to seek fortune in the California Gold Rush, students of the fledgling UNC Charlotte chose "49ers" as the school's mascot. The fact that the site of the U.S.'s first major gold discovery, Reed's Gold Mine, is located nearby may also be a contributing factor to the nickname. The fact that the University's Main Campus front entrance is located on North Carolina Highway 49 is pure coincidence.

That's a lot of 49's

Mark Price is the new HC there, they have played miserably so far this year but have no fear they will have a great game against us, every lesser team always does.

 

[Notsince1985]

I knew John Stockton was their coach

 

[Consigliere]

I am ****ed we don't get to see this

 

[Consigliere]

Spread -28 Miami

 

[OrangetieFatface]

Might win this one by 100

 

[Consigliere]

They look like a HS team.

 

[Consigliere]

Mike Jarvis Jr is all energy.

 

[Consigliere]

We're not playing well and we're up 26.

 

[Notsince1985]

Didn't see any of the game, in laws are in town. Saw we won by 28.
