^ Panthers cc cheats othe I can't believe the media coverage that the Charlotte Panthers (If s CharVws/^anap T rJnn't. mnsrirtar tVio Pan. thers to be Carolina's team) are receiving. I think it is absolutely ridiculous. Yes, the majority of the public in the Carolinas, me excluded, would probably like to be updated about the Panthers on a daily basis. But it is my belief that the public would not like to give up their coverage of every other sport to do so. When it comes down to it, it will be the small colleges and the high schools who will eventually suffer. This is the direction that the newspapers are headed in. I have built up a hatred for the Panthers because Panther mania is so blown out of proportion (although I probably couldnt pull for a team who's heme games are played in Clemson anyway). fm from the Charlotte area, so even though it disappointed me, I expected over-coverage by the Charlotte Observer. After all, the Panthers are based out of Charlotte. If you were to pick up the Observer, you would see that every day at least half of the sports section, usually including a third to half of the sports front page, is dedicated to the Panthers. The Rock Hill Herald, although a smaller paper, is as bad, if not worse than the Observer about over coverage. I have always considered the Herald to be a great paper as far as local high school sports are concerned. I am abichieh school fnnthall fan and hnvp always looked forward to their high school football coverage. They have always covered each of the areas' football teams at least once a week during August as they prepared for the season's opener. This season that coverage dropped off a great deal as the paper devoted too much time to, guess who, the Charlotte Panthers. The television coverage, believe it or not, is worse than the newspaper coverage. In Charlotte, every away Panther's preseason game was played ! ^OU TAV Above Big S 164 E.

Sports Editor on CBS live television, and then shown as a tape delay sometime the next day. Then the home games were shown just on tape delays, because the Panthers could not sell enough tickets for it to be shown live. There were also two commercials that were shown the week after the Jacksonville game. One commercial referred to the Panthers as the undefeated Panthers. The other asked if the first win over Jacksonville was luck or just pure talent. Get real! This was a preseason game between two expansion teams; someone had to win. Do the people in the Carolinas really think the Panthers will be a winner this season or is it just the Charlotte media who thinks they are already in the playoffs? Well guess what, it's not just the Charlotte media, either. The State and The Greenville News have also jumped on the Panther's bandwagon. The Greenville News I expected this from because the Panthers are playing right uown the road at that farming school. But The State's coverage has gotten out of hand. To start with when you pick up and read an article on practice the day before you will swear that it is the summaiy of a game. But then you realize that it is about practice because they haven't shown the game on television two or three times since yesterday. All I'm asking is for the media to calm their Charlotte Panther mania and give fair coverage to every sport and team. Cover the Panthers but dont over-cover. So on Sunday, it's Charlotte at Atlanta. I bet you can't guess who m be pulling for - go Falcons. v If ?8W * ekn Shot Records I IffRTTHm I n St 548-7573 | >arty at auwup * vn Athens i tturday Night I Fetalis on stage rer with this ad | )W HIRING $!$!

SPOI USC don Despite a lack of senior leadership, Carolina's soccer squad closed out the preseason yesterday | on a good note KAYCIE WILLIAMS Staff Writer South Carolina did not play like a soccer team who lost six players . They did not play like a soccer team with only four seniors. The Gamecocks played like the teams before them who made it to the NCAA Tournament the last nine out of ten years. It might have been just an exhibition but the Gamecock soccer team looked impressive defeating Presbyterian College 5-0 last night at the Graveyard. Carolina dominated throughout the match with excellent ball control and good passing. The Gamecock offense went on the attack, getting off 28 shots on goal while the defense held Presbyterian to only four. Sophomore Clint Mathis had a big night, scoring three of Carolina's goals. Two other sophomores, Kristinn Larusson and Marc Anatol, scored the other two . Anatol's came in the 15 minute overtime added to the match to work in substitutions. M On paper this team looks like it is in a rebuilding year but the coach- st es like what they see from the young pi players.
