I've taken a couple of school groups to do the paid tours before. I highly recommend them if you get the chance by the way.

Last week's was different. A good friend of mine works there and I've tried not to ever ask for anything because I know he gets hit up for favors all the time. But he offered and I accepted. Took my basketball team (I'm a high school varsity basketball coach) for some behind the scenes stuff. Highlights were going into the Panthers home locker room, weight room, linebackers meeting room and team meeting room. We had a few of the empolyees talk to the team about various things and tell some personal stories. 

A few things we heard and saw:

-Luke really is that nice and in season is a complete game film freak. Every night until 9pm, watching film.

-Luke's hands. Said they have seen him flip a 45 pound plate and catch it with one hand. 

-Cam wears crocs.

-CJ has some impressive pricey shoes in his locker.

-Michael Jordan's luxury box is the place to be on game day.

-The stuff we hear about last year's locker room being crazy right is absolutely true.

-The stuff about Thomas Davis being a great guy and a super leader isn't true. He's even better than that.

-Every employee we talked to was first class and treated my guys with the utmost respect.

Here are a few pictures (took a lot more but mostly with my guys a bit more recognizable in them so can't post those).

Is that a picture of Greg Hardy in the 76 jersey on the wall in the third pic

Yes. In the hall out from the locker room they have photos of all Panthers who have made the pro bowl or all-pro.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Unc Basketball thread

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
