Preseason game 4

Hey. I guess I am just looking for advice. My family scored some tickets to the preseason game tomorrow and wants to take me. The drawback is I wont get off until 6 pm and I believe the game starts at 730. I would be coming from Greensboro. I'm trying to see if it's worth it because I probably won't get there until Half time( or later, depending on traffice) and I'm not sure how parking would be. Any advice? I'm debating on just telling him to give.it someone else who can make the game on time

I wouldn't pass even if it wasn't the starters. I guess I've been in so many pre-season discussion that I want to see guys like Cash and Sandland play. We went to training camp for 2 days as well, so I know all the players even ones that already got cut. If you aren't going to get a chance in the regular season then I would go.

Also, it depends on the tickets. We got great seats (2 3 rows back in endzone and 3 13 rows back) for the fan fest and my wife and kids loved it even though it was just a big practice. If we were in the upper deck, I don't think I would have braved the rain or gotten the seats. I'll watch this game (might be delayed since I have a draft) again because I want to see the guys trying to make the 53 and see how things like our safety/DE depth go.

That make sense. The tickets are lower level. Not sure exactly where yet. There are a few guys I am pulling for to make the team. Wish I just had the day off and this wouldn't even be a discussion

Everyone is different.  But first half likely will be Bersin, Byrd and the fringe guys battling.  2nd half and especially late I bet they throw a bone to guys who they have zero intention of keeping.

I'd watch it on the tube.  But I am an old cranky man with 2 small kids.  I like it when people kindly get the F off my lawn 

In my younger days I would go.  I'd probably go out after the game but a DD would be needed to pull it off

    • 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.
