Hello Everyone,

I've been a Carolina Fan before they even had a stadium to play in. I can remember driving down so I could see the big panthers out front when they were first put in, I have a friend who had his name on one of them. Wish my name was on there, barely able to go to a couple games a year. I'm a single working lady...well used to be. Engaged now.

I did meet the man of my dreams at age 50 who I quickly converted to a huge Panther Fan. He now stands on the other side of the couch with me armchairing the game. Screaming at the TV and refs is my job on Sundays which I look forward to all week long. My car has my Panther head on it, my living room is decorated on game day, my house has a huge flay flying all season long, and I wear my Panthers shirts proudly. :D

Look forward to being part of the forum and getting to know a few of you. Together we can pull our team through each game.

Is that legal? How do you keep it from spoiling? :D

Welcome aboard!

Yes, he converted. Yes, it was'nt that hard of a task. We didn't have that great of a season the first year we were together, or the second year. The best season was last year, he loved it. But, he still had to watch the games with me even if we were loosing. <beg> He also had never been to a real NFL game before going to see the Panther vs Seattle that first year. He was hooked, hook line and sinker after that game. I think it was the tailgating, or maybe the Rose Teq-killya in frigid temps that got him.

I do know we had one heck of a time with our fellow panther fans in that parking lot before game time. One guy gave us some shots out of a 150.00 a bottle of Jack Daniels. Another guy won the Sonny Bono Look Alike contest during the game. Best of all we won the game.

Finally, yes I do have a panther head on my car. Up here in the mountains of VA we can do stuff like that with no questions ask. <beg>

Thanks for all the welcomes to the Huddle. This place is way cool

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
