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

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
