Bobcats Vs Hornets, Who Wins!? Does Anyone Still Cheer Hornets?


Who Dat Pat

Recommended Posts

wtf are you talking about? The bobcats do a raceweek jersey every year (except for this year) honoring NASCAR and the influence it has in the city.

Nascar's ratings aren't as popular as they once were, but neither is the NBA.

I'd comment on some of your other points in the thread but they don't make much sense.

KT, you didn't even know who Cam Newton was until I pointed him out to him and this entire board in October of 2010; so don't go all out trying to prove your fan hood.

Also, if you think college basketball is losing popularity you are insane.

By the way the NBA came in 5th behind Formula 1 racing, the MLB, EPL, and the NFL in the most profitable sports league rankings.

The NBA is also still behind the NFL and MLB in popularity in the US.

Try to weasel your way out of this one.

The raceweek idea and outreach was implemented by Bob by the way. MJ no longer does that or the MLK game we had every year under that regime. Bob awarded racer Jimmie Johnson several times over his tenure for his contributions to the community and his NASCAR cup titles. A real Bobcat fan would've already known that though.

Actually a real Bobcats fan would know that we don't have anything to do with the scheduling so a game on MLK day is up to the NBA.

A real Bobcat fan would also know that there WAS a NASCAR night this year on February 10th sponsored by Coke.

You're pathetic.

We did NASCAR night this year, they decided not to dedicate a whole week to it this year, nonetheless they did acknowledge it this year.

And our Founder Bob made sure we played on MLK every year. You know nothing about the Bobs son.

Did they wear our race jerseys? Of course not, MJ no longer does that, and as I stated, Bob came up with that.

In Hornetsfan8789's world, only white people create things.

Also the Bobcats don't do NASCAR week, they do NASCAR night.

In 2010 guys like Brad Keselowski, Kelly Petty, Denny Hamlin, Michael Waltrip, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Kelly Bires were all at the arena taking part in basketball challenges during halftime (except for Petty who didn't want to play and Hamlin who as injured). We played the Magic.

In 2011 David Ragan was at NASCAR night when we took on the Pacers

In 2012 (this year) we played the Bulls Denny Hamlin was at the game.

We didn't wear the race jersey's we wore NASCAR patches this year, they were worn in 2011 and in 2010.

Keep trying buddy.

And actually, I was wrong. We did play on MLK day this year. We played the Cavs.

Also Bob had nothing to do with us playing on MLK day. Quit making stuff up.

But, but I knew about him in 06/07....

As far as fanhood is concerned, I don't know why anyone is being questioned for suggesting a name change back to the Hornets. I personally think it's a hell of a lot better name than the Bobcats but won't be upset if we don't get it back. No, a name change won't put a better product on the court but it sure will bring more excitement. How long would it last, I am not sure. Ultimately a better product is what's going to bring excitement but as many level headed Bobcats fans know we are in rebuild mode. We have to take a step back to take two forward. I think in the meantime while the casual and impatient fans who could care less about the rebuilding could get excited by a name change to the Hornets.

Do I expect it to happen? No. Would I be upset if it didn't happen? No. But I will say I think it'd be a good thing for the city, especially for those who don't have much interest in our team/NBA now. I still support our team regardless of the name. It's tough to watch and sometimes I'm critical of the moves we make but you have to be patient and hope everything pans out.

When you are a fan of Auburn it kind of matters, come back and try again.

I'm a UF fan and knew about him when we were recruiting him. Probably would have known about him regardless because I follow CFB recruiting and CFB is my favorite sport to watch. Not sure what point you are trying to make.

Cam wasn't even used by you guys. You used him less than you did The Golden Calf of Bristol when you were using the two quarterback system with The Golden Calf of Bristol and Leak. The only time Cam saw the field was in a game that UF was blowing out there opponent (can't remember who it was).

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
