Why You Should Hate the Charlotte 49ers

Clay Aiken - Upon me viewing the list of alumi, I'm fairly certain that it is an open competition between Clay & Matt Hardy for most famous graduate from UNC-Charlotte. Aside from that, why would you not hate this university for giving us the gifted voice of Mr. Aiken?

The Former 49ers Logo - Tell me this creepy old logo doesn't scare you a little bit (in the mix of the Leprechaun movie and Deliverence). I kid you not, I see this and I get incredibly disturbed and I'm already in fear of having nightmares. Thanks 49ers, thanks a lot. On a side note though, the team nickname is derived from the year 1949 as a pivotal year in the history of the school. The university could've been shut down, but it was saved.

Best Name on the Team

An'Juan Wilderness - Upon searching in An'Juan's player bio here, I could find nothing really abnormal about him, seems like a good kid who plays well on the road and against big teams. Don't let that stop us though, insert any "wilderness" jokes here (creativity is at an all-time low on a Saturday morning).

GameDay Notes

* Preston Knowles, Jerry Smith, & Peyton Siva will be out for today's game. We are testing our depth early in the season, like that never happens around  here. My fingers are crossed that we can play well and get past tonight with a win, despite injuries.

The storyline tonight will be our lack of depth at guard, and the previous history from the Metro Conference & C-USA; so if you're looking for a drinking game to play, everytime any of those are mentioned take a drink, guarantee you'll be face down in the front yard by halftime.
