Veteran's Day

Thank you to all you serve and have served to defend our freedoms.

Those who are currently serving,..thanks. I hope you stay safe and can return home to your families soon.

My father was career Navy. He joined (underage) during WWII. I had many uncles who served in WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. I think they saw themselves as ordinary, but they, of course were not.

We owe a lot to all who serve. Today, especially, we honor you.

God bless all my brothers and sisters out there putting it on the line in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as those serving in places like Korea and Germany. And yes, being an Army veteran, I consider every last one of them my brothers and sisters, regardless of where they come from, what color they are, or what their politics are. It takes a special kind of person to volunteer to put themselves in danger for a country that don't always appreciate or understand why they do what they do. There are many in this country that just don't understand the concept of fighting for something bigger than ones self. I actually feel sorry for those people.

You drug a long time lurker out to say "My Pleasure!"

...and I mean a long time lurker from back when this was called the Panthers Huddle.

The Panthers make me proud whenever I get overseas. The first time I came to Iraq, the Panthers went to the Super Bowl. The second time, they went to the NFCCG. The third time, well, it was 2007, but I was still there for the first half of 2008.

Now that I'm here again, hopefully they'll keep the tradition going and get this season turned around.

Felix Doc Blanchard was one of the best athletes of his time, and he decided to serve his country instead of playing pro football. My grandfather served with him in the Air Force, and said he was one hell of a good man. Thank god for men like them, or we might not be on here talking about a football team.

Don't be a stranger. Thanks to you and your brethren and a formal WELCOME to the Huddle. :cheers2:

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

    • Icky has had a great year. He only struggled last game because he got hurt before halftime.
