Miami comes to town for a Thursday night primetime matchup. The Huddle has your FREE to everyone tailgate starting 5 hrs. before kickoff to get you started. Nobody else in town offers this and it's a no brainer way to get your fill of food and good times before the game. Tailgating can be expensive, and this opportunity allows you to eat great food much cheaper than trying to do it yourself.

How do we do this? We line up sponsors who donate their time and money to provide you all with free food. When you come through the line to eat and drink, you donate as much as you can in the bucket. At the end of the year we take all the money and buy brand new bikes and give them to the Marine Corps Reserve toy drive outside the stadium, this year on Dec. 20th. 100% of the money donated goes to this cause, no overhead. To date we have raised over $15,000 and given over 500 new bikes to the Panthers Marine Corps Reserve Toy Drive at the stadium.

The tailgate this week is sponsored by Bo in Monroe. Please thank him for doing this if you see him this Thursday. Without sponsors we cannot provide the food for free. There are still sponsorship opportunities available for the last 3 home games of the season please PM me if interested.

The food this week will be prepared by Alex Ranucci of Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com). Alex is competing this May in the BBQ nationals in Memphis and we are thankful for every day he spends cooking for us. The menu this week will include shrimp scampi, BBQ ribs, chicken on the bone, salad, and flank steak crostini among other dishes.

Here's the rest of the details:

1. Where? Our Free Huddle Tailgate is at a parking lot that borders Church St, Poplar, and 3rd St. downtown. The lot is right across the street from Picassos's downtown. Specifically in that lot our tailgate is closest to the corner of Poplar and 3rd. right on the sidewalk. We have 3 tents and lots of Carolinahuddle.com banners to help you locate us. We are RIGHT beside the lower entrance to this lot.

2. When? This week we will start at 3pm. The food will not be ready until after 6 pm though.

3. What will be there? Lots. We have plenty of tents for cover from sun or rain. We provide for free all the food and the following drinks: Coke, diet coke, root beer and waters. There will also be plenty of music and good people.

4. How much? If you park in that lot it's $30. You DO NOT HAVE TO PARK THERE TO PARTY WITH US! There are many lots a few blocks back that are MUCH cheaper, even down to $5. Take advantage of that or take the train into town for a few bucks. To tailgate please donate as much as you can til it hurts. Please be generous and consider how convenient our tailgate makes things for you and how much you save vs. going into the game and buying all this or trying to do it yourself.

5. Who is there? Most of the people there are people on this website and their friends and family. All of us were new at one time or another. Please don't be shy if you've never been here before. We make friends easily. We give our food and non-alcoholic drinks away for free to ALL, even opposing fans are welcome.

6. Is this tailgate kid friendly? We do not police adult behavior before football games. We do not take responsibility for what kids may see or hear during the tailgate. Generally most adults mind their manners around them, but you never know what they may be exposed to during their time there so use your own judgment.

Most important please bring your own drinks if you want alcohol. The Official Huddle Tailgate does not in any fashion provide alcohol as part of its tailgate. We do not accept responsibility for anyone's actions as a result of what they consume at a tailgate.

I hope a bunch of you make it out for this tailgate. I agree with mush that the drinks need to come with you but there will be a lot of jello shots for you all if you ask nice.:)

Thanks Bo.

I will be there. I think your grape shots yesterday were the best so far! Setting the bar high for Thurs. :smile5:

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
