Official Panthers/Redskins Tailgate Thread

Recommended Posts

After almost a month off it's time to tailgate again! The Redskins come to town for a 1 pm kickoff and all we need is you to show up! This week's tailgate is co-sponsored by posters 5158 poundin and Liquid. Liquid owns Cashiers Pump and Plumbing Supply in Cashiers, NC. Their number is 828-743-5665 please call them for any of your plumbing needs and we thank them SO much for sponsoring the tailgate. Without sponsors, no money gets donated to Toys for Tots at year end. Because of our sponsors, 100% of the money YOU put into a donation bucket at our tailgate goes straight to the charity. To date we have raised over $15,000 and given over 500 new bikes to the Panthers Marine Corps Reserve Toy Drive at the stadium.

The food this week is prepared by Ranuccis Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com). Alex Ranucci is an award winning BBQ professional who has earned a spot to contend for the BBQ National Championship in Memphis, TN in May of 2010. No matter what the Panthers record is, the food alone this week is worth the trip downtown. The menu this week will consist of his award winning pulled pork BBQ, sauce, beans, cole slaw, chips, buns, pickles, buffalo turds, and various other dishes and desserts.

Here's the rest of the details:

1. Where? Our Free Huddle Tailgate is at a parking lot that borders Church St, Poplar, and 3rd St. downtown. The lot is right across the street from Picassos's downtown. Specifically in that lot our tailgate is closest to the corner of Poplar and 3rd. right on the sidewalk. We have 3 tents and lots of Carolinahuddle.com banners to help you locate us. We are RIGHT beside the lower entrance to this lot.

2. When? This week we will start at 7 AM.

3. What will be there? Lots. We have plenty of tents for cover from sun or rain. We provide for free all the food and free drinks included: Cokes, Diet cokes, Sundrops, Diet Sundrops, and waters. There will also be plenty of music and good people. There will also be a limited breakfast menu available from Bojangles if you get there early.

4. How much? If you park in that lot it's $30. You DO NOT HAVE TO PARK THERE TO PARTY WITH US! There are many lots a few blocks back that are MUCH cheaper, even down to $5. Take advantage of that or take the train into town for a few bucks. To tailgate please donate as much as you can til it hurts. Please be generous and consider how convenient our tailgate makes things for you and how much you save vs. going into the game and buying all this or trying to do it yourself.

5. Who is there? Most of the people there are people on this website and their friends and family. All of us were new at one time or another. Please don't be shy if you've never been here before. We make friends easily. We give our food and non-alcoholic drinks away for free to ALL.

6. Is this tailgate kid friendly? We do not police adult behavior before football games. We do not take responsibility for what kids may see or hear during the tailgate. Generally most adults mind their manners around them, but you never know what they may be exposed to during their time there so use your own judgment.

Most important please bring your own drinks if you want alcohol. The Official Huddle Tailgate does not in any fashion provide alcohol as part of its tailgate. We do not accept responsibility for anyone's actions as a result of what they consume at a tailgate.

Wish I could make the drive to tailgate with you folks but I guess I'll just have to sit on the couch and yell at the TV. :D Enjoy!

I forgot what buffalo turds were...anyone care to remind me?

Rep for sponsoring the tailgate. Especially since you can't be there. Buffalo turds are jalapeno peppers filled with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, smoked on the grill.

Here is a recipe using little smokies in them as well.

Holy poo. Those sound too damn good.

Glad I could be a part of the good things the Huddle does for its people and for the kids. Thanks for the link!

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
