A few morning notes as another big day for the local NFL team kicks off:
1) My column today on "Who will wear No.2?" issue between Cam Newton and Jimmy Clausen is drawing a lot of comment. Here's the link.
2) One year from today, the 2012 Olympics in London will begin. Several swimmers with Charlotte connections should have a good shot at participating, including Cullen Jones, Ricky Berens, Nick Thoman and Josh Schneider. Coach Mike Krzyzewski will again lead the U.S. basketball team and a number of track and canoe/kayak stars with Carolina connections will also have a shot at going -- it will be an Olympics flavored heavily with athletes from the Carolinas.
3) Sad story online today about former Charlotte 49ers basketball star Rodney White, who has been arrested in connection with managing what authorities are calling an "elaborate" marijuana operation in N.C. White played only one season for the 49ers, became an NBA lottery pick and never fulfilled his promise after that.
We're moving!

Charlotte 49ers? Who is that?
The only city named after any sports team called the 49ers is in San Francisco California , pal.
There was a Rodney White who played for the UNCC 49ers although over 10 yrs ago. Be more specific.
Nice try troll
Listen up you little troll minion peon pissant peasants.
Officially the eternal name is:
UNC 49ers.
University of North Carolina Forty Niners.
Only ONE on the entire planet.
A-number one King of the hill Top of the heap
Nothing else required.
Case closed. Now get the hell out of here.
somebodys jerking somebodys chain.
BHAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAWAW ....
There are no cities named after a sports team, doofus. "Oh.. let's name our city San Francisco, after those San Francisco 49ers!"
Guessing tarhole fans have nothing better to do with their program in shambles
Fowler is correct in using Charlotte 49ers. The official name of the school is the University of NC at Charlotte, which is one of 16 branches of the UNC system. Only the one in Chapel Hill goes by UNC and the official team sports name of UNCC is the Charlotte 49ers. Sad to hear of White's fall. Reminds of a another great talent they had in Clinton Hinton, who was ruled ineligible by UNCC standards even though he met NCAA standards. That was 1985-1986...
I was so depressed because I'm living a big quantity of problems in this period of my live, but your blog helped me to recover my energy and make me feel alive. Thanks for your post, I hope to continue reading more interesting themes as this one in the future.
