I’m just talking about Charleston since that’s where I live currently. We have a pretty large Panthers fan base, much larger than any other NFL team.

I have lived in Charleston / Charlotte a combined 25 years. I will say winning definitely helps. Since Cam was drafted the fan base in the Charleston area has at least doubled.

You got me beat in combined years, but I too lived in both Charlotte and Charleston. My experience in Charleston was nfl wasn’t very popular and I knew as many pats and Steeler fans than I did Panther fans. 

Unless Charleston hosted training camp, I don’t see it ever catching on to the panthers

Where in Charleston and when? I bartend downtown and where I work along with at least 4 other bars on the peninsula are dedicated Panthers bars who always have killer turnouts on Sunday. 2015 playoffs and Super Bowl were crazy.

5 to 10 years ago was a totally different story.

Before asking that question I would ask where I my television footprint do I need to become more relevant in terms of population/market size regardless of the state line.  For example If becoming relevant in Raleigh gives me a bigger boost I would put efforts there instead of Columbia.  

I was going to ask something similar. I am sure people in the Raleigh, Chapel Hill area care more about The Wolfpack and Tarheels than the Panthers. Same with Clemson and Gamecocks in SC. Not saying they don’t like the Panthers they’re just not as popular.

As much as you have gotten on my nerves for not stepping up and validating what we both know are my qualifications (for the local yokels)...sh*t, you couldn't have put it better. Three words. Do it one time.

You don't need validation. Your opinions are terrible regardless of who you are or aren't.

I could literally post the exact same thing you were going to post right before you posted it and you would still sh*t on it - you're just an angry young-ish guy with daddy issues who has a weird thing going on with my son. Cease and desist.

if we're talking about basketball maybe.  someone gave me lower bowl 25 yard line tickets to a nationally televised night game against miami at kenan a few years back because she didn't want to go and couldn't find anyone else who'd take them off her hands.  if memory serves the hurricanes were ranked 9th or something then.

I have no idea what regions of South Carolina are Panthers fans/Falcons/Jacksonville.. as I am In Virginia have a large Panther base since I am close to NC but a huge Resksins/Baltimore..so areas are so diverse by state its hard so say.. but then when I think of SC for football its the GameCocks or Clemson.. not the Panthers.. so SC needs to figure if they want to align to the Panthers as a state for NFL.. so if they show Panthers games every Sunday in your area.. then I guess u are in Panther Country..

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
