RE: #BattleOfTheBeards - Charlotte vs. App State
Put me in he group of App fans that are a little worried about this one. Definitely stinks like a trap game and I’m sure the UNCC players will be absolutely ready to go for it. Charlotte’s got nothing to lose. That’s a dangerous position. Just got a weird feeling about this game. Makes me sick to even acknowledge.

#BattleOfTheBeards??? I can kind of get the App St association, but is Charlotte guys known for wearing beards?

So this is the first ever meeting between Charlotte and App St. When I look at the SBC board, it seems there is some hatred. Where does this stem from? Is it that App St wanted in CUSA, but Charlotte was invited instead?

Both of our mascots have beards.

There's a lot that makes this interesting for both fan bases, even if we haven't played in football yet. Have a look at the Charlotte board, they started a thread about this game before last season. I'll just throw out some bullet points.
  • Charlotte is home to our largest alumni base
  • Charlotte is also home to many of our students, both current and prospective. This leads to a lot of mingling between the two fan bases
  • We have played each other in basketball for many years
  • Back when FB was announced some UNCC fans declared it the death of App Football
  • ...and finally yes, this is an opportunity to show the CUSA how poor of a decision it made chasing marketz instead of quality programs

As for the Marshall fans talking crap. Stop being babies, if they saw it then they saw it. Yea we may be known for being nice but doesn’t mean everyone is. We are very fortunate for them to be in C-USA. If the new AD is good then they could be a contender to move up conferences in 10 years.

Yea it definitely wasn't every Marshall fan, one group trashed their tailgating area in the Silver Lot and one group toss beer cans in Toby Creek. The second group wasn't so bright, campus police were standing by the student tailgate and saw them. They had to make a little trek through the woods to pick them up.


Guess to some Marshall folks we're the ******** for wanting to keep our campus clean.

A majority of App message board fans on AnyGivenSaturday and elsewhere made it clear that Charlotte starting football was an unwelcomed event, for obvious reasons. Charlotte message board fans took it personally and fought back. They also seemed to enjoy the fact that the Colonial and their own Southern Conference wouldn't take us as football-only members. When Charlotte got invites from the Sun Belt and C-USA (two conferences we were founding members of) while App was still FCS, some Charlotte fans took that as a chance to verbally retaliate for the previous 4 years of naysaying from the Appys. So that's where this all started from.

Also, a lot of these same fanbases went to high school together. Some students at both schools have attended both and other UNC System institutions.

Basically, this started out as message board BS'ing and that's the only people on either side that seem to feel this level of disdain for the other side.

Search App's board and you will see the weird obsession with us going back to when we started football. It's strange because so many of their "fans" claimed this game would mean nothing to them but here they are looking for validation on Saturday.


A series going forward would be beneficial to both programs.

I can tell dumb, stupid, retarded, posters from they way they talk in 3rd person also. Finally you are welcome to my ignore list.

Why did they ever let this trash of a school back in. They haven't done squat in anything in the last 15 years and as long as their stadium is 15K they will stay a 1-3 win football program. Kids Buy with their eyes and when they see that stadium if they have other options they will take it.

Our stadium is already bigger than 15K. Didn't you see the comment about the 40K App fans coming. How does it feel to have Charlotte beat you in our second year in the conference? Are you still mad that you are on our win list? I mean I could understand if Rice and UTSA thought that we were bad in football because we haven't beaten them. However, you guys couldn't even beat us in 2016 and if we would have fielded an offense last year we could have beaten you then. You guys are probably the reason that the other teams left. You had at best 4 conference wins your first 6 years in the league. And that's after like 80 years of playing football.

Hahaha... We could have beaten you if our team had been much better.

Nah, ya'll should roll us. In fact, if you do, it will be the second time App has helped Charlotte. First was Grady Davis to help usher our former AD out the door, next may be a trouncing that will hopefully help usher our current coach out the door.

It really is a win-win situation for us.
  • Appys are paying our students for the worst seats in the stadium. Hope for that rain or you'll need to bring the sunscreen.
  • The program gets to pad it's attendance numbers.
  • The program is making a good deal of money for these tickets.
  • If we win, it really would be a humiliating loss for App. I mean, we're bad right now and we know it.
  • Even if we pull off this miracle, Lambert won't win enough in the conference to keep his job. I trust Mike Hill to make a significant improvement over Judy's coach hiring decisions.
  • If we lose, well Brads one step closer to the door.

Obviously, they weren't representative of your whole fanbase or even a significant portion. It is too bad that to my knowledge they were the only ones so far to do such a thing though.

On a personal level... I grew up in Charlotte and always viewed the school as a non option. Most of the kids from my high school that went there were the same as the CPCC crowd and I've always associated UNCC kids with that archetype. Stupid, I know, but that's the perception that's always been given to me. I'm not saying it's a bad school, one of my best friends graduated Salutatorian and went there, but for me it wasn't an attractive school. Its location in University City and total lack of school spirit didn't help their cause either.


Because of those reasons I have always kind of looked down on UNCC, and I'm absolutely sure that there are UNCC fans that feel the exact same way about App. Little teacher's college, hillbillies, there's "nothing to do" in Boone, etc. You'd be hard pressed to convince a student or alumnus of either school to change their view about the other and I think that's perfectly alright.

Don't forget that one Doctorate program you guys have! That's impressive too! Don't sell yourselves short!

clt says they are out of money

Game tickets- $100
Gas for the Kia- $30
Hot dogs and natty light for tailgate- $20

That just blew the budget of a boost mobile employee.

Lol, you trolls use the same lines on everybody. I enjoy copy and paste commenters. It's easy to spot the ones with no credibility or originality.
