The Big Easy Takeover in NoLa

I know the city of New Orleans gets pooped on a lot on this board, but it's one of my favorite cities and Panthers at Saints is always one of my favorite away game weekends. Where else can I go where I can walk bar-to-bar carrying my drink with me, eat plenty of delicious food, win money at a casino, watch the Panthers stomp the Saints, and get free victory beers afterwards from @saints4lifeagain all within a 10-ish block radius? Answer: nowhere. 

Obviously this weekend's game is huge - no need to elaborate on that. What I did want to share is that we've been planning away game trips for nine years now, and I've never, and I mean NEVER, have had as many people reach out to me about a game as I have had about this weekend. If 25% of the people who have reached out to me actually end up heading down to New Orleans then it's going to be the largest trip I've ever seen. I'm fuging pumped. 

For those of you headed down, here's a schedule of events so that you can link up with other Panthers fans in the area so we can turn the Quarter black and blue. 

Saturday:

5p-7p: NoLa Riot Welcoming Party at the Voodoo Garden at the House of Blues

*HoB has given us the entire Garden for Panthers fans. Last year they hooked us up with some good drink/food specials and tossed in a great band. They take pretty good care of us

7p-Until: NoLa Riot Bar Crawl

*The local crew does an awesome job of picking out venues off of Bourbon St that are more local and New Orleans-ish, rather than the disgusting poo holes that you're inevitably going to be in before the end of the night. I personally stay off of Bourbon once the sun goes down and the amateurs come out (Think: @PhillyB at a Huddle draft party), and I appreciate the not-as-well-known yet iconic NoLa dive bars.  We'll be putting out the locations on Saturday. 

Sunday:

12p: Roaring Riot Tailgate at Handsome Willy's

*This will be out 4th year at HW's and they're cool enough to left us infiltrate their establishment for this rivalry game. This tailgate is open to everyone - no ticket needed, just buy your own food and drinks. This is the first time we've been in NoLa with a flexed game, so this place is going to be packed out. 

115p: Group photo

215p: March to the Dome.

*Handsome Willy's is maybe a 10 minute walk to the Dome and once you're at the Dome you get inside in maybe 3 minutes. It's not like BoA where it takes 20+ minutes at the game once you arrive because they have more than two entrances. You literally hop right in. 

325p: Get loud for the boys

7p: Victory Party at Manning's. All drinks on @saints4lifeagain's tab. 

9p: I'll be in Harrah's until my 8a flight

Here's a link to our Facebook event page to get updates for the weekend

If you have the chance to make this trip, do it. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities as well. Wait till you guys see the construction on Bourbon St. Just make sure you go during the day and avoid it at night like you'd avoid getting in an elevator after Alice walks out.

You can get flights out of Concord on the cheap if you plan ahead. https://www.allegiantair.com/

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
