Unfortunately for Bobcats fans, we have very little way of fan organization. We're a disparate bunch. We can't even get games regularly televised up here in Raleigh. We're also a hard bunch to pin down.
That's all changed with Bobcatsbreak.com. As a news site, it's completely unreliable and usurped by actual news organizations like ESPN and CBSsports. However, as a portal to the seedy underbelly of the Bobcats' fan base and their collective mind set -- it's pretty fucking accurate.
For example refer to exhibit A: Brittney Cason.
Halftime goes really fast in basketball, too fast for my liking. I hadn’t even made it up to Front Court (bar/restaurant inside the arena) before the game started again, and I was having so much fun I didn’t want to return to my seats. In fact, I never did return to my seats as I made my rounds around the arena. Because the arena is like a playground; every section has its own form of entertainment. There’s even an actual playground for little kids in the upper level.
Summary: Bobcats' fans don't give a fuck about basketball. Bring on the mediocre side acts and overpriced booze. Bobcats' basketball: so god damn boring our fans get more excited by indoor jungle gyms.
Her blog reads like a poor advertisement targeted at soccer moms -- one of the Bobcats' key constituents. At least she doesn't lie about her nonchalant "fan" approach or make hyperbole about the size of the scoreboard like Time Warner Cable Arena's Web site:
The Time Warner Cable Arena scoreboard is the largest scoreboard in any indoor entertainment venue in the country and features the largest video screen in use in any NBA facility. With no fixed images, the scoreboard’s full-screen LED technology allows an unlimited configuration of live and recorded video, scores, animation and graphics.
I guess it's good to know these guys aren't football fans. But, really, who hasn't seen that mammoth scoreboard structure for the Cowboys' new arena?
In closing, Brad, a commenter on Lady Cat dancer Gigi's blog sums up our fan half-glass full optimism:
At least the Bobcats are putting the old Adam Morrison jerseys to good use
