someone needs to explain to me why im watching this god damned game...

 

[Darth Snow]

In the spirit of Christmas, we need to kill this team

 

[buff4bcs1985]

HOLY ****... ARE THESE GUYS EVEN AWAKE YET... JESUS

 

[Fight CU]

Total garbage

[BuffLuke80]

Just turned it on a bit ago, this is pitiful. WAKE THE **** UP!! 10 points in 11 minutes is crap.

 

[gobuffs58]

Zero concept on how to play basketball

 

[B_Walk]

At least the basketball team decided to implode in non-conference play unlike football.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Up by nine. They **** this up, I don't know what else to say?

 

[Jeric]

Thanks for the FT practice, I guess.

It's a true Festivus miracle that the KOA audio broadcast is perfectly synched with the Directv ESPN video broadcast, so can actually watch tv with the volume off and listen to Mark Johnson call the game at the same time.

 

[BuffsNYC]

What did Deleon do to be on the end of the bench?

 

[aghcsm]

Yay, whipped the 49ers (?? what century and what event does 49ers reference??), bring on Arizona !

 

[Darth Snow]

Woot, broke the offensive shneid

 

[aghcsm]

Didn’t watch, but looking at stats, it appears holding Charlotte to 1 of 16 from 3 was major...

I always thought it referred to a Carolina gold rush in 1849 but apparently not:

Nickname[edit]

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 University's Main Campus front entrance is located on North Carolina Highway 49 is pure coincidence.
Prior to the "49ers" moniker, the athletic teams were known as the "Owls" due to CCUNC's beginnings as a night school.
Logo[edit]

The primary athletics logo contains a miner's hand and pick-axe as a reference to the Gold Rush. The arm of the Miner forms a "C" representing Charlotte and 49ers inside the C. The new logos replaced the face of a grizzly old Miner and a "4-9-e-r-s" script logo.
