There are others that do a good job covering mid-majors, but UNCW doesn’t have anyone passionate about UNCW; I think the Seahawk Perch is addressing that. As you said, we need more passionate fans and we need a commitment from the university to grow the experience.

I don’t oppose you being a homer occasionally, but I thought your comments were inconsistent with what you typically write. There will always be fight for attention and more often than not, we’re going to be brushed off for the ACC schools. I don’t have the answer for that, but being critical of others recognition rather celebrating who we are and our own merit sends the wrong message and will ultimately be dismissed.

You’re good at this and I appreciate you working to celebrate UNCW.

Translation, he was fine until the shot at his beloved Tarheels

Nonsense. The shot at Carolina was the one that made the most sense, it's just a non-starter. It hasn't worked for any school and it does more to align us as an "other" than it does to establish ourselves as something worthy based on our own merit. Banging the "Carolina gets favoritism" drum won't get UNCW noticed.

The comment about D1 baseball is what I took the most exception to. It's pretty standard practice for those publications to project the regular season winner in one-bid leagues. Calling them out on Twitter for projecting Northeastern as a four seed in their projections just because they were in the losers bracket didn't make sense to me.
