congrats to the new city of the hornets.. Lets hope New Orleans can do a better job than Charlotte did. 9K last night is a joke for a second round playoff.
YEEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWWW
Anyone know if there is going to be any TV/radio coverage during the call, or are they just going to break the news after the vote is taken?
Loser, Pull yourself away from the Computer and get your rear moving, You need to be here for NOON when the news starts, it should be sometime during the newscast when they break in, We need to go get food and be back for NOON.Quote:

Leave now before I hit you like I wish someone would Tom Benson :D.

It probably takes a few minutes to get all of them hooked up, then a few preliminaries, and THEY ARE PROBABLY VOTING RIGHT NOW .
Guys, it's not too late. You do realize these guys poisoned the market in CLT. Traded away or let go every good player they ever had. You do realize Shinn was gettin' some from a cheerleader. He is the kind of guy that won't sell control of his team because we want him to. We can back out. It's not too late. Charlotte has warned us. I think we should consider overlooking the owners commitment to coming here and making it work. The Hornets may never win a championship. They will probably be no better than a .600 type team who makes the playoffs every year. What do you think? Should we back out?:p ;) :cool: :ipimp:
:lol: No, we won't back out. We will allow them to come and then demand that the sell to new owners. We will drive them out of town by not attending games. That will show them and Stern and the NBA will FORCE them to sell to new owners!Quote:

No, instead I propose we force them to swap franchises with Tom Benson, that will show everyone we are serious. :p :p :pQuote:

Great news!
After 23 years....we're back in the game! I can hardly type...my hands are shaking!
2:30 press conference!
:bball: :clapper: :rocks: :1pwink: :rasta: :ipartym: :iparty: :ipartytm: :1drummer: :cheers:
So much for a deal where they keep the name and get an expansion team. I really think CLT has damaged their relationship with the NBA to the extent where that could not become an issue at this time.
un - BEE - lievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my comments were really talking about the national media and people from other cities. I know everybody on this forum knew we could do it, and most in the city thought we could.
It's real. It's really happening.

Congratulations, New Orleans! You've earned it. Thanks for letting me be a part of this. It's been a thrill to watch, from the New Orleans Grizzlies days to today, the day the New Orleans Hornets were officially born. (Now hold on to that domain name.) :)
It was 29-0.Quote:

Thanks ChicagoGrizzly for the support!

Let me rephrase what I said above: "ESPN Radio reported it was 29-0." Since then I've seen a couple of reports that it was "nearly unanimous." Guess we'll still have to wait.
:tears: Good luck with George and Ray & watch your backs.
Please pull for our Charlotte Hornets during the playoffs &
we will wish you our best next season when they are yours.
For those of you who remember how it felt to lose the Jazz,
think of us and do what you can to let Charlotte keep our name
What could the Jazz mean to Utah and what could the Hornets mean to you? Now that George and Ray are offically yours (HaHA!) Charlotte will do what it takes to get the NBA back & we
will look forward to a friendly rivalry in a couple of years. Until then, Best Wishes.
I do not think the name will stay with CLT as they unveiled a "New Orleans Hornets" jersey at the press conference.Quote:

In that case think as it as a gift from our city to yours. But like
I said before you be surprised what George and Ray can and
will do. Hey did any one ever tell Yall that Micheal Jordan tried to buy 1/2 of the Hornets before George sold to Ray. Is that George one intellegent man or what? Charlotte or any town would have had a new arena and sell out crowds with Jordan around. Just keep a watch out for what intellegent thing he does next!
Oh wow, are you serious! WE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE! - NOT!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Oh yeah, did you hear that the owner of our football team out of the blue fired the most popular GM we ever had (besides Jim Finks).
Geeesh, where do they come from.
Termites are coming out the woodwork and have not seen the light of day for a while. :DQuote:

Did you hear that crook talking today (Shinn) saying how his team will help young kids learn how to read, attend hospitals for kids and adults, help the community in anyway possible.
Damn we need more crooks like Shinn.
