"Go Panthers! Super Bowl bound! Keep Pounding! Now, before we go, two ten year old girls are missing..."

 

Just saw that the girls have been reunited with their parents.  All is well.

Tre Bostons cat growls got a shout out on NFL Network.

I can't help but think that was a take on Ked Woodley.

I walked over at lunch.

Please no more chants from Jennifer Roberts...

I was there. I think our lack of experience on these things showed a little bit. People were chomping at the bit to see people they cared about and weren't really into it for much of the rally because the players didn't come out until the last 15 minutes. Having the mayor, city council, county commissioners and governor brought the tone down a bit because of the recent toll lane votes that have occurred (heard several people around me make comments).  They all got booed (with the governor getting the most boos). Also, Jennifer Roberts should never, ever, ever lead a chant ever again.

There were also a bunch of bandwagoners there. One lady beside me had no clue who the Top Cats were and I heard MANY people around me say "Who?" when Simonson was introduced. 

I had fun though and it was awesome to get to see our players and Coach Rivera in person and (somewhat) up close. Would do again.

Yeah, this thing was pretty amateur. I'm actually kind of relieved that the Panthers are putting more focus on preparing for the game rather than putting on an awesome rally. It was fun to see the players and hear Rivera speak, but other than that most of it felt like a crumby commercial. Jennifer Roberts was awful. She's definitely got a socially awkward penguin vibe going on. I would have loved to have seen Braylon Beam say something, or Dabbin' Granny, etc. If we win the Superb Owl, hopefully they'll step their game up for the victory parade. 

Also, when you get the crowd hyped up with Keep Pounding chants and rap music with a great baseline, don't be a douche chill and follow it up with some silly Panthers country song. This rally had its good moments, but they couldn't seem to sustain them.

Yeah, that was a jarring transition in the music.

To be fair, there's a good chance *I* wouldn't know who Scott Simonson was if Madden didn't automatically sub him into the lineup way too often when I play as the Panthers. And I've never heard of Nate Askew in my life until today.

Ha, fair enough. TBH, I'd never heard of Nate Askew either, but Simonson has seen some play this year at least. It just struck me after I'd heard the lady beside me say "Now, do we have cheerleaders? What? They're called the Top.....What? Cats?"

Who?

just kidding...still, 1 career reception for 10 yards does not a fan favorite make.

Rally was pretty lame.  Lots of folks showed up so that was cool, but to bring out someone like Simonson was pretty lame lol.   We had like 4 probowlers out there but with no Luke or Cam it was pretty disappointing.  Props to the guys who did show up.   But 5 minutes of Panther players and WAY too many minutes for the mayor and lame Pat (lol @ the boos) dragged it down.   The Bank of America goon was lame as well but I guess that's how it works.   At least he had some personality.   I think we should have had this on a Saturday inside the stadium, to be honest, so more people could see what is going on.  

For the 2013 one, I was right behind Flair as he stood waiting to go up.  He was a tool.  We were trying to get him to talk to us, we were like 4 feet back but he wouldn't.  He told someone to get him some coffee and ignored us.  Some redneck was behind me doing the "wooooooo" and four horsemen sign the whole time lol.

We got there at noon and it was lame like you described until the last 15 minutes.
