Friends, Huddlers, Pie Lovers

The time has come to say goodbye to yet another Panthers season on the Huddle. In 2014 you laughed on the Huddle, you cried on the Huddle, you purposefully placed your hand on the ass of the Huddle as you passed by, and we noticed.

I am now here to give you the state of the Huddle. I am happy to say, the Huddle is stronger than ever.

Over the past year, the Huddle has had had over 6 million visits and served up over 30 million pages of information, banter, and Stephen Hill prognostication.

The Huddle Podcast began in August and performed far better than expected. Our episodes now reach over three thousand people, giving the Huddle yet another way to marginally entertain and inform the Huddle faithful. A big thanks goes to our Podcast Sponsors Angry Ales and Smith Horton Law for making it possible.

In September we began the All-Pro program, giving serious Huddlers the ability to support this place in a whole new way. I am proud to say there are now over 200 All-Pro members, a nice start on the way to our long term goal of 1000 All-Pro members.

As a result, the Huddle was able to increase our technological abilities, cover away games, and provide additional content that was not possible in past years.

The Huddle is well on its way to becoming a self sustaining force in the local media. A beacon of truth, hope, and Greg Hardy arguments for the world to see.

Looking ahead, 2015 will be an even more important year. From the 2015 draft to training camp to the upcoming superb owl season, the Huddle will provide even more exclusive content while also continuing to be the best independent forum for fan voices in the entire nation.

In short, the Huddle is well on its way to world media dominance. Watch out Rupert Murdock.

Thank you for continuing to support the Huddle and making it a place all other fan bases envy.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
