Need Petey Pablo to write us a song?

hell, it would make more sense to sing some James Taylor IMO after a win….than trying to steal something that everyone knows is Red Sox “thing”.

I’ve always thought it was kinda whack to try to adopt that as a Panther thing….given everyone knows another sports franchise made it their thing before us.  

according to the mlb website, Red Sox first played it in '97, and not regularly until '02.

wikipedia says we started in '96

or are you referring to another sports franchise?

It is. It is a little rape-y feeling vibe to the song too. If you read the lyrics and know it's about a 11 or 12 year old it's not a good sound. If it were up to Rhule it would be some Dave Matthews band song.

Any options there?

Maybe at the end of the game - Where are you going?  or a blowout

Well, look who's getting their teaching degree today. Did not know that. I honestly could not tell you the first time I heard it at a Panther game. I didn't hear it when they played at Clemson, which was 95 and you say it started in 96

I’m referring to the Sox.  

they made it a thing.  It is what it is.  And we look like a fanbase trying to copy them IMO.  And it isn’t even a cool song.    Doesn’t really matter what they technical dates claim.  It’s like USC.   No matter what history technically says….Southern Cal owns it.   It just is what it is.

How could the Panthers "steal" something that in reality predates the "Red Sox thing"?

They couldn't. 

I was unaware that the Red Sox brought national attention to the song, but even if I knew that, it wouldn't alter the fact that the Panthers use of the song at every game predates the Red Sox.

Now I'm supposed to be concerned about how it looks like our fanbase copied another team in a different league?  When in fact we didn't.  Are you fugging kidding me?  Talk about first world problems.

It’s not that serious.  But yeah, overall in the sports world that is viewed as a Red Sox thing.   It just is what it is.

I like the Taylor song, but for a crowd song you're not gonna replace "BAH BAH BAAAAAHHH" with that.

But other than a few people who like the nostalgia of it, nobody new cares for Stand and Cheer...

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
