Until this year, our school had only reached in the “Final Four” in any sport in just three instances. Basketball in 1977, Soccer in 1996 and Golf in 2007. As you can, it’s not a regular occurrence for us. So with Charlotte Soccer going to it’s second College Cup in just a few days, we, as a fan base, should recognize the magnitude of this special event. We have the special opportunity to build on this success and create a long term successful program: let’s show the school how much we want to keep Coach Gunn in Charlotte.

We’ll borrow the rest from NinerNation.net poster (and GTG.net donor) ninerID:

“With the addition of football almost 18 months away there is much to hope for in becoming something greater.  However, in an atmosphere of 365 days a year of rumors on conference realignment, it doesn’t seem like there is much we can change.  But there is….

We can change the mindset.

We have been successful in coaching hires when the BCS conferences come along with their checkbooks, but it’s time that we as a program did our best to end being a stepping stone.

For the program to go forward, all success needs to be rewarded.  Rewards retain coaches.

That’s why I am asking you to join me in the first grassroots moneybomb starting tonight at midnight until 6 PM on Friday afternoon when the men’s team faces off in the college cup.
