By beating Marshall 24-13, they are bowl eligible for the first time in school history. Pretty remarkable for a program that just started up a few years ago

Charlotte actually could be a big time program in time. Not Alabama or Ohio State level, but better than a lot of P5 teams

Weird thread. So who in your family coaches/plays for Charlotte?

The nickname of the athletic team is the 49ers, indicative of the fact that UNC Charlotte (then Charlotte College) was saved from permanent closure in 1949

Their mascot nickname also ties in with a gold rush in the Charlotte area before the California gold rush. I actually never new about the attempt to close the athletic department. LINK

Thought it was just cool to see a new program get to their first bowl game, especially after some very bad seasons

I could see them having an ascension similar to App State.

I think It’ll be tough because there are so many D1 schools in NC, but they’re the only one in Metrolina. Their 2020 class looks like a huge improvement over classes they’ve put together in the past. Making bowl games will only help.

Will Healy is going to get a big time job sooner rather than later.
