South Carolina sucks ! Only thing they got going for them is myrtle beach , I like myrtle beach , other then that North Carolina is the better state in general . I like our location 

You need to travel the state more.  Myrtle sucks and there are many other places in SC that are great.

Carter Finley is a dump...real college football in played in SC

If i were from SC, I’d be very careful to call anywhere else a dump. SC can’t even make proper BBQ.

The panthers should NEVER play a game in South Carolina. Most people in that state don’t even pull for the Panthers. There’s more Steelers, Falcons, Cowboys, and Skins fans in that state than Panthers fans. I wish the Panthers would drop the whole “two states” marketing thing and just focus on Charlotte and NC. South Carolina brings absolutely nothing to the table.

I also live in SC, in fact one of the cities called a "dump".  See Panthers stuff all the time in my coming and going around  my area of SC.  Also know people in SC who can afford to go to games, including me.

Crazy ain’t it, these NC fools.  I’m not from SC originally so I have no bias, but from my dealings some of the dumbest and rudest people I’ve met are from NC, not SC.  Funny how I don’t see many dumping on folks from NC or the state of NC, but just the opposite.  Makes you wonder why.   I’d say they are jealous.

Funny thing is I lived in Virginia for a while.  They dump on North Carolina.

It is crazy.  I think both NC and SC are beautiful states.  I have family in NC so have visited often throughout my life.  Not sure where all the SC bashing comes from.  My hometown is definitely not a "dump".  Good grief!

In all seriousness, something Tepper should emphasize that JR let slip is building the Panther fan base throughout the Carolina's.  I remember when the Panthers were still in their infancy and every offseason they went on caravan tours.  It gave people without direct access to the team a chance to interact with players and cheerleaders, and just feel like a part of things.   

So, build excitement and interest in the team with people that don't always feel like the Panthers are their team.  You've got a goldmine of fans just waiting, so go out and mine them.

I live in Greenville, SC and SC is far from a dump. Sure there are crappy parts, but NC has crappy parts too. No idea where you get the idea that there are no Panthers fans. I guarantee you that all of the opposing team fans in the stands that you all bitch about are from NC not SC. 

It is the Carolina Panthers, unless you are Diddy.
