Training camp Autographs


Semaj

Recommended Posts

Since we are up in Georgia for my annual vacation, and we are only 2 hours from Spartanburg, rather than watch the dirty birds practice here in Flowery Branch like last year, I am taking both my boys to training camp tomorrow. I am looking for advice from some of you regarding meeting Cam and Luke and getting their autographs. How difficult is it and do you guys have any advice? We only got this one chance tomorrow. Maybe we can meet up with some of you guys. Planning on arriving around 2pm. Hope it works out, would love to get some pics of my boys with the players if at all possible. I know my youngest son would especially light up

So there is a specific thread on getting autographs? If so, hopefully I can find it. Thanks

It was all the in's and outs of everything not autographs specifically but that was included.

If your kids are young...you are golden. Push them to the front and yell, "War Damn Eagle" incessantly and Cam will find you.

Oh, safe travels and best of luck on both the autographs and raising 2 additional Panther fans to add to the Nation.

Where do we go to get them and what time? Before or after practice? Thanks

Find the nearest kid to reach around. Your arms are longer so this shouldn't be a problem. Being bald is also a plus.

Along the black fencing.  You can't miss it.  Never got one before practice myself...with or without my son in tow.  They are usually single-minded heading down to the fields.  This is an after-practice endeavor only from my experience but someone may chime in that had a different experience. 

Don't forget to bring something to sign and a Sharpie, otherwise Luke Kuechly will be forced to sign the back of your Sweet Frog, buy 10 get 1 free card.

Try to get them as close to end of fencing as possible...You probably need to stake a place as early as you can. Bring chairs bcuz you can't see the team practice from there but your chairs can hold your spot for a bit. The players will usually sign on way out. Luke is awesome and will sign longest. Cam is good too, but he usually signs a bit...skips ahead and signs more. Luke is also good w/ pics. My kids always get a good bit of players....helps if you can get their attention, so call or have kids call and be polite. The whole team is good about it actually. Good luck!

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
