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...

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
