thanks for looking, as usual heres a link to all my pics https://pantherfanz.smugmug.com/2015/NFC-Championship-Playoff-24/

I think we hosted every single Arizona fan that came to the game. They were all great people and we truly enjoyed hosting them. Mysteriously, they never made it back to the lot after the game.

I locked my keys in my truck and they tried to help me break in to get them - eventually the job was done by some great Panthers fans

My stepsister came to visit this weekend and ended up stranded, so we got her a ticket and had a great time - her first NFL game!

We had a band

and a 50/50 raffle - the guy who won is the guy who has brought that giant blue elephant into town the last couple of games

Chuck and his girlfriend have been providing the supplies and the energy for our jello shot toast for years. It's cool to see him do it from an actual stage

My pal Crazy Joe manning the siren. This siren was actually used on D Day in 1944, on the beach. Our tailgates founding member Marc was looking for something cool to make some noise at the tailgate and found it on eBay - when the seller found out it was for a football tailgate group, she gave it to Marc, as her husband who had just passed away was a big NFL fan. it gets quite loud and is a lot of fun to make go.

I asked in the gameday menu thread, but you elaborate on the food you cooked?

sure, our man Clay does it with the same setup he's had since the early 70s - the first attempts we dug out the ground for the coals but found it to be way easier to use foil pans for that, and raise the spits. Lump charcoal and cherry (I think?) gets quite hot as a nice side effect on cold days. Runs off of a car battery. We do whole chickens, prime rib and pork

Clay the cook

The table here is where we pull everything apart, the pole goes in the slots and its stable

    • Panthers sign OT Rasheed Walker Terms: One year, up to $10 million Grade: A The price of this deal might be the most shocking of free agency thus far. Walker was widely considered the best free agent tackle this year and was expected to receive a large contract. But his market developed very slowly, so he has signed a one-year deal with a maximum value of $10 million -- meaning the base value is below that -- per NFL Network. For context, my free agency contract model projected a deal averaging $21.8 million for Walker. Instead, it's a short-term commitment for less than half that. And the Panthers are the beneficiaries. Carolina entered this offseason with a possible need at left tackle after Ikem Ekwonu suffered a patellar tendon rupture in the playoffs that put his 2026 season in question. It's also the last year of his contract. The Panthers signed Stone Forsythe as an insurance plan already in free agency, but once Walker's market fell it seemed like they felt adding him was well worth it, too. Our win rate metrics consider Walker to be a solid player. Last season in Green Bay, he was in the 85th percentile among tackles in pass block win rate, though only 22nd percentile in run block win rate. He was in the 69th percentile and 48th percentile in those two metrics in 2024, respectively. Given that Dan Moore Jr. received $20.5 million per year from the Titans last year most -- myself included -- thought Walker would walk away with more than that. Perhaps the struggles of Moore (who wasn't great last season) contributed to Walker's market being cooler than expected, a theory that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggested. Walker was also arrested two months ago at LaGuardia Airport in New York for allegedly trying to check-in with a firearm that he had a license for in Wisconsin but not New York. Either way, teams felt differently about Walker than most on the outside thought. But he's a heck of an add for the Panthers at this price. While his run-game contributions might be far from perfect, a weak pass protector at tackle can sink a passing game. Even if this is only a one-year arrangement, Walker should be able to help keep Bryce Young upright
    • Fantastic signing. If he is good, this will make next offseason really interesting. I would imagine that Morgan would try to extend Walker and convince Ikey to move to the right side to replace Moton. This also opens up options at 19 at lot instead of forcing a tackle. I'm not a fan, but I'm definitely more open to Morgen drafting Sadiq now, but there is also Peter Woods, and even some like Dillon Thieneman is now in the mix. Hell, I'm still for another off ball LB.
    • sure, but Panthers are theoretically in their win now window. Their first rounder needs to be a day one starter
