He’s not from here so he thinks NC and SC are just 2 sides of the same coin.  When in reality one is a typewriter the other a sea otter.  Nothing in common except the word Carolina.

Seems logical to the outsider, that we would like the same stuff, but NC and SC don’t even like each other let alone the same activities.

While I agree with your assertion about the drastic differences between the two (I've lived in both), I don't think that was motivated by Tepper believing that they're basically the same.  It's kinda just Business 101 to expand your reach and appeal to a broader audience.  I think that was just his attempt to do that.  I've been in Greenville SC for ~5 years now and I barely see any support for the Panthers.  I think the simplest explanation was that he was probably just trying to stir up interest in some South Carolinians like "hey this is your team too".

Also, there can certainly be some validity (and dare I say commendation) in trying to find some uniting entity to bring two very different groups together.  That's more just a general sentiment though, I'm not saying I think he was motivated by some virtuous attempt at unifying the two Carolinas...definitely more plausible that it was motivated by $$$$$.

Obviously some of you have never been to games and it shows. 

 

It is an orchestrated chant where one half of the stadium does Keep and the other half does Pounding. Its not something that can happen just by fan initiative. 

I have been to games and know it’s orchestrated. I was pointing out that fans could take the initiative but that’s difficult. I am hoping this was just an oversight and not on purpose.

Same holds true for western North Carolina, I've seen.

I've been told (from sports stores in both areas) that the reason is that college sports are So Much Bigger in those areas that they don't have the demand for the pro stuff.  Clemson, USC, fringe UGA stuff in Greenville? I get it. Limited Panthers merch - to me, that's an issue

If it matters, they sell UGA gear in western NC for some weird reason.

Thank you for pointing out North Carolina as well in regards to this.

I'm from SC and I'm tired of some fans always claiming that SC doesn't support the Panthers. Obviously, the whole state doesn't support the team, but let's not act like it's just one state that has this issue.

I was a Panther fan living in SC. Although, I was about as close to Charlotte as you can get in the Fort Mill area.

From the tweet above, sounds like the #KeepPounding will still be around.

What Reno said.

Its about coordination. Just go into any stadium and just start saying something and see who else just randomly starts saying the same thing you say...

A lot harder at an NFL game than most think, I've started a ton of chants at Canes game but have never gotten one going at BOA.... 18k vs 80k big difference.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
