Really hard to tell if he's playing that much better than Hubbard, Or if the offensive line finally gelled, Or if the run defenses for Miami and Dallas are just that awful., I don't know how you put Hubbard back in the starting lineup until Rico puts up a few bad games at least.

Eric is a treasure. Great to here that being a team announcer is his dream long term job. Says he moved his family to Charlotte which is a good long term sign.

But everyone has a price. If and when the NBA or baseball or NFL come knocking on his door with a big offer to be the face of a national broadcast and not just a few Amazon games, I'd imagine that's something he wouldn't pass up. Maybe that's because we already lost Stephanie and Ashley that it still feels inevitable regardless.

I would love for Eric to have a Steve Martin type tenure with the Hornets... to become someone like chick Hearn or Walt Frazier whose voice is synonymous with the team.

I can definitely see the nfl coming for him soon. Dude was as good or maybe even better calling the panthers game than he is ours. Dudes a gem.

I see him being poached in the next couple of years if the team continues to be ass.

All the recent branching out to football, baseball, college sports, etc is just networks testing the waters.

Hey guys congrats on your win as HORNET fans. You guys deserve it more than anyone.

I just recently got into my new hobby of WATCH collecting and I found an old HORNET watch I purchased YEARS ago. I had all the apparel. Man those were the days, I can still remember the bell ringing at 5th period and counting down the seconds for me to run out and show my new HORNET WALLET off to my friends. I was a die hard fan.

Unfortunately tho I can no longer root for this franchise due to its practices of how it appears to go about improving upon its culture... While I am all for getting it RIGHT, it has an elitist FEEL/ you don't belong VIBE to it... Could just be a coincidence tho...

I feel the same way in some ways about the PANTHERS as well due to the firing of coach willks. Never could I imagine I would no longer be a fan of the PANTHERS or HORNETS. I put principal over both.

My new teams are the WASHINGTON WIZARDS *bub carrington* and the INDIANA PACES *taelon peter* and in football the CHARGERS. I flat out LOVE the pittsburg steelers tho due to not possibly being a more classy run organization.

HATS OFF to them hiring a potential BALD HEAD,MULLET or DREAD LOC'ED coach.

GO HORNET *fans*

Side note, I knew Belichik wouldn't work. This year is gonna be weird af. I root against the HORNETS, PANTHERS and TAR HEEL FOOTBALL wow.

Dean Smith God Bless him. Everything he did was classy.

Felt good after left the gym, but now I'm really feeling it. Had to go get me a espresso shot.

I am glad the Hornets smashed the Wizards today just to show you made the wrong decision :lol:

I personally don't see the elitist feel, i get more we want dogged workers. Even if you are elite you better work or get ready to leave
