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...

      The Carolina Huddle

      By mccjeff · Posted

      Been here a while but rarely post and most of them are smartazz. Mostly lurk just so I can sound informed while hanging out drinking beer in my neighbors garage. Amusingly a Huddle level of knowledge kind of makes you a subject matter expert. Thanks for that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      That’s similar as saying MVP Cam is the same as rookie Cam because his mechanics didn’t change. We’re talking about production.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
