Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

On Tuesday evening Sammi Jo and I will be sitting down with Jay Weezie from WFNZ. Jay also has a really great beer podcast he does , Cheers Charlotte. We will be discussing the best football brews with him. Also, fan fest and training camp tips, matchups, and the usual dose of nonsense and tomfoolery.

 

 

Your thoughts on your favorite football brew?

Yay! I was just thinking it was about time for a new episode.

Just give me an ice cold Corona with lots of limes and I'm happy. Or hell, a bottle of Moscato will do it too.

I get to my tailgate spot around 8:30Am. I drink roughly 8-9 Miller Lites while I cook before going into the game. Miller Lite is a great tailgate beer. When I'm at the house for road games then I will mix in an IPA. I'm not a hard core craft beer bro so for football tailgates I go with mass produced stuff.

This is my strategy too. Miller lite is great for the long haul of day drinking. Can get down a bunch and feel energetic and ready for the game, whereas if I had 6-7 IPAs I would be ready for a nap.

I look for something around 6% ABV. Pales and IPA at the beginning if the season switching to darker stuff like browns, porters and stouts in the fall. I try to keep enough home brew on hand to not have to buy commercial stuff and will even bottle it from my keg when going to a game.

Nothing says football season to me like Sam Adams octoberfest. They start selling it in September right around when football is gearing up and it is one of my favorite beers.

In before everyone starts naming their favorite obscure microbrews.

Miller Lite when tailgaiting or drinking for quantity. When I'm at home and only having a few I'll do IPAs in the summer (Bell's two hearted is the best) and stouts in the fall/winter (Duckrabbit Milk Stout being my fave.)

Truth be told, I drink Miller Lite about 90% of the time.

Heineken, Sam Adams, Blue Moon, Two Hearted

If I tailgate I drink some rum/coke followed with something above, I just can't drink light beer after the first 1/4 bottle it turns to piss. Drinking Heineken all day is easy.

By the way, my neighbors are craft beer bro's which I respect, but holy poo they act like wine connoisseur's with their beer. I enjoy beer without being a snobby know it all douche. I love my bro's though.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
