Muggsy Bogues on Bobcats future.

Click the link to watch the video of Muggsy Bogues speaking on why the Bobcats need to change their name back to the Hornets.

Apparently Muggsy Bogues is speaking on the movement!!!! 😀

Okay. I can’t speak for everybody, but I’m personally choosing to consider myself ‘over’ Wednesday’s Draft Misery. Stern didn’t screw us, Benson didn’t screw us, the makers of the ping-pong balls didn’t screw us…we simply lost out to the whims of the fates. Again. But heck…as Charlotte sports fans, we’re used to it 😉

The most troubling thing I’ve seen the last few days is the fan-on-fan negativity. Pro-rebrand/anti-rebrand…it doesn’t matter. People are angry, and hurt, and they’re taking it out on each other. Listen, gang…this is the WORST thing we can possibly do. The thing we have to keep in mind, regardless of what they’re called, those guys that suit up 82 times a year are OUR team, and they represent OUR city. Obviously, all of us here want our Hornets back. My wardrobe has morphed into a teal and purple bonanza. I literally dream about this stuff. But that doesn’t change the fact that, at this point, the ‘Cats are my team. If you truly believe in this Movement; if you truly yearn for the day that Hugo stalks the sidelines of the Cable Box, I implore you to adopt a similar approach. Divisiveness and an ‘us versus them’ mentality is the absolute opposite thing we need right now. We need solidarity. We need unity. By all means, let the ‘Cats management know that you’re still demanding your Hornets back. But at the same time, let them know that you support them through thick and thin. When someone attacks you for your view on the subject, take a deep breath, and calmly explain why you’re right. That’s the thing, gang…we own the deed to the TRUTH. We’ve faced a little adversity with the Draft fiasco, but that doesn’t change that reality.

I look at this as an opportunity, True Beelievers. We have the chance to be the most relentlessly positive, beacon of unbridled joy and passion that this team has going for it right now. We have to resist the urge to cave in to negativity and focus on the future. We’re about to get a heck of a player in a month’s time. We have loads of fun stuff planned for the summer. Let’s drop the melancholy and get PUMPED!!! We’ve worked too hard and come too far to let a little thing like a Draft Lottery kill our Buzz. As hard as it may be to believe right now, the bitterness of Wednesday WILL fade in time. However, what we have going for us…this thing that is so close we can hear flap of wings on the horizon…this thing can last FOREVER. So put a smile on your face, throw Wednesday out with the rest of this week’s garbage, and let the world know that our Hornets are coming home.

Not if, but when 🙂

Well said by John Morgan….the leader of the “We Beelieve” campaign.

The season’s over, but the fun has just begun!!! Wow. That’s as lame an intro as you’ll ever find anywhere. But it happens to be true. LEAVING IT IN!!!

The event title says it all: we, alongside our pals @ R.A.V.E. Trivia, are hosting a live, Charlotte Hornets’-theme…d team trivia event the night of the NBA Draft Lottery (Wednesday, May 30th) @ 7 pm. Based upon the NBA’s convoluted lottery system, there is only a 25% chance we’ll be celebrating the fact that Anthony Davis will be wearing teal and purple in the near future. However, there is a 100% chance that this is going to be the party of the century.

There will be oodles of amazing Hornets’-related prizes for the trivia winners and Baileys has committed to some RIDICULOUSLY gracious free stuff that I’ll post about when we have it all hammered out. But for my money, the coolest thing we’re doing has to do with the CHARITY RAFFLE we’re putting together. We’re putting together a set of AMAZING prizes that we’re going to raffle off, and all of the proceeds are going to the METRO SCHOOL of Charlotte, who serves 250 students, age 3-22, all of whom are cognitively (and in many cases, physically) disabled. Come on out and support this wonderful cause!!!

If you’ve never been to Bailey’s, you’re gonna love it. Conveniently located off Highway 51 in south Charlotte (right off 485), they have something like 6000 tvs, 560 pool tables, 400 arcade games, and 350 foosball tables. I might be being a litttttle hyperbolic with those numbers, but only a little. It’s a fun joint for the whole family. Food, drinks, and a few metric tons of your best teal and purple pals. What could be better?

Listen gang…there is A LOT more to tell you about this event, but I’m gonna hold my tongue until I get it all set in stone. Suffice it to say: you’ll want to be there. I’ll keep y’all updated, but in the meantime, RSVP, and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!!!
