Dex's Trip To The River City (GOPRO Video Included)


Dex

Recommended Posts

Well it's been a couple years since I've done a writeup so I'm due for one. Excuse the spelling errors I'm exhausted. I don't care if you don't like my storytelling you don't have to read it.

So anyway it all started on Saturday morning my girlfriend is outside of my house at the crack of fuging dawn waiting for me to get in so we can get to the airport. Yes.... her. The she devil. Moving along, we head over to LGA (airport in New York City) and proceed onto our flight to Charlotte. I'm a pretty big guy so I made my girlfriend sit in the middle. Next thing I know this fuging huge guy sits next to my girlfriend. Rudest douchiest guy I met all trip. Just watched Fight Club on his fuging tablet breathing louder than a French bulldog after a 5K. The dude looked like Robert Paulson so I found it kind a funny.

So we disembark at Douglas and make a quick stop at Bojangles.

Biscuits and fries for everyone!

We then make our way to the next gate cutting it close with 4 minutes before boarding and head to JAX.

Once we land in JAX my girlfriend and I are picked up by @usmcpanther (awesome guy). He drops us off at the hotel and we make our way to the lobby where we meet up with a shitload of Panther fans including the don @roaringriot as well as @phillyb @kj89 @cookinwithgas and @pandapancake . We get our tickets, wristbands and swag. Then check in freshen up and head over to the River City Brewery.

Now this entire event was sponsored by Roaring Riot so why would the party at a bar the night before be any different?

Burgers, dogs, slaw, potato salad, two free drinks all included. It was great. The cover band especially kicked ass playing some great 90's alt. If you were in attendance you remember Braylon out there breaking a leg and the really drunk guy ripping the microphone off the stage. Overall it was a great night. I got to meet @darth_biscuit @boo7382 @cary_kollins and if I miss anyone else I'm sorry.

So we head home a little early not wanted to be too hungover in the morning. But we take a little stroll around for a while and take in some sites.

We wake up in the morning and head down into the lobby to meet up with the RIOT! It was insane. We had over to the water taxi to bring us over to the stadium.

We get to the tailgate and it's awesome. Meet up with more Huddlers including @uncfan888 and our fearless leader @jeremy_igo . Cornhole, beer, food, vanman etc. Not your average tailgate though.

As we walked towards the stadium past all of the Jaguar tailgates we were over 500 strong chanting "LETS GO PANTHERS". It was something out of a movie. There's only so much I can show you in pictures so I prepared a little surprise for all of you. Live vicariously through us Huddle and strap in for the River City Takeover. 

 

If you don't like the music or editing go fug yourself. <3 Enjoy and I'll update the OP later with some extra tidbits.

 

My girlfriend wanted to thank all of you for accepting her and being so cool this weekend!

    • 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.
