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

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
