I mean this is borderline like cult poo guys.  It's one thing to root for a guy that's local.  Like Brandon Ingram playing for the Lakers, or Clowney or Lamm on the Texans, etc.  But the stadium was full of orange tonight of people rooting for a guy (Watson) that they've probably never said a word to.  And since when do people get jerseys of a college kid with the kid's name on the back of it??? How is that legal where do they get these jerseys?  Clemson football fans are fuging weird man they are a big school it's like Watson is the first NFL player they have ever had

Have you been to SC? They sell Clemson junk in grocery stores.

Oh I'm aware.  I still think it's weird how many Clemson fans showed up tonight wearing their obnoxious orange just to root for one player.  I've literally never seen that ever happen before.

Tools. The majority of them probably also claim to be Panthers fans but yet they showed up to a Panthers home game decked out in gear supporting a rival player. Should've worn a Panthers jersey and rocked a Clemson hat or something. That would've been an acceptable compromise.

In SC college football  is king...they are tigers first...

Yeah college football is pretty big here in SC. It is usually pretty split between Clemson and the Gamecocks with a slight edge going to Clemson in terms of how many people are fans of them. I personally am outside of the rivalry so if either local team makes it to the championship I'll go for them unless they are playing my Florida Gators. Pro football is next in the list though the state is pretty divided in terms of team. Panther fans have been on the rise thankfully, and for the most part have become the majority though a lot of the older people from before the Panthers existed still cling to teams like the Cowboys, Steelers, and even some Falcon fans in the areas near Georgia.

      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.
