I was 18-19 years old stoking shelves at Winn-Dixie at night and it felt at the time this season was pretty much the only cool thing going for me....good times. Any memories ....

Dom's comb over gives me chills.

I remember watching Deion getting knocked retarded in that game.

God I miss Madden on the mic.

God I miss Madden on the mic.

"See what happens?  You use your last timeout, you don't have any timeouts to stop the clock, and you have to pass the ball."

 

Classic Madden

I expect to see a Cowboys-Panthers matchup in the playoffs this year.

2002 - drafted Julius Peppers

 

That was the nudge I needed to go from casual interest to full fledged fan.

[Ricky Spanish]

I've been a fan since I moved to NC when I was 8, the same year the panthers moved to town. 

 

I didn't become a FAN fan until I was old enough to understand and appreciate the nuances of the game/offseason. 

 

Sometimes I miss my ignorance. it would have made my Sundays less crappy over the past 4 or so years (minus last year)

Anybody know where to find the 4th quarter?

2001-the year we went 1-15.

I was 12, and that's the year I really got into football. At that time I pretty much felt obligated to support them since they were in NC, and that's where I'm from. Also, I felt sorry for the team. Most the kids I went to school with disliked the Panthers, called them losers (sad thing is we're in NC and they felt like this). I was one of those kids who tried to go against the grain. If a group of kids liked something, I said I hated it lol. Well, me liking the panthers back then was a way to go against the grain. It's been rough, but I'm all in for this team for life. They're my hometown team. It's funny most of my friends from back then like the Panthers ever since we've gotten Cam. I don't give them w hard time, but I gotta let them know I'm the OG Panthers fan lol.

Attacking 3-4 defense.

Cowboy killers.

God I miss Madden on the mic.
