Charlotte trolls

Honestly that thread is pretty mild by their standards. Relatively realistic speculation and only a few jabs at App: a rarity among these guys. I could find 100 examples of them being much more delusional and arrogant towards App State than your link.

Go for it. I'm ready to talk as much junk to them as they have to us. I'm also ready to whoop their arses on the field in a few years and show them what a real football team looks like.

As a seasoned veteren of arguing with delusional UNCc fans, I must caution you that it can get a bit ridiculous. As a psychology minor in undergrad, I find their arrogant groupthink fascinating and that is why I've waisted so much time going back and forth with them over the past year or two. Some might find it frustrating and downright disturbing that a group of people would have such a twisted opinion of their relative institutional value.

I've had UNCc fans insist that they are a basketball powerhouse and that they are slated to make it to the SEC within the decade. There's actually a healthy percentage of their message board folks that think they're somehow more relevant in the general sports world than Appalachian and, even more troublingly, that UNCC is a better school academically than App (despite the massive discrepancy in admissions standards) .You just can't really take them seriously and you certainly can't reason with them. From their "Charlotte" rebranding efforts to the UNCC Rival Stars flub of 2012, they are an exemplification of little-man syndrome.

Just making sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Just mentioning their name in this thread title should bring a handful to the board. After looking at your link and around the site a bit, I don't see a single App poster. They're obsessed.

Well, I might just have to go head to head with a few of them. Charlotte fans think they own the state, now that they're FBS bound, of course, but we're going to put them in their place real fast. I sincerely hope we do not start a rivalry with them. We can do better, and I would much rather be rubbing shoulders with ECU fans or Wake Forest fans rather than pompous Charlotte fans, which have absolutely no history in football, or athletics for that matter.

But they made the final four 40 years ago!

But we've never made it past the first round in those same 40 years.

We've had our athletic budget split between two major sports also. I don't expect UNCC BBall to improve much since they now have to share the same pool of money.

Excellent point.
