If this is true about him getting rid of the chant, he has now become a dicktator. 

Dude I love that video , I watched it 5 or 6 times back to back laughing my ass off.

That is so me lmao.

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.

calm down.

I have no issue with this

Sad the fans can't do this on their own.

But it might not be after that? I get what he’s trying to do but it’s buying him a ton of bad press.

This is weird, but like others have said, why not just go ahead and do the cheer at the game?

Someone photoshop Tepper's hairy chest on this meme

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.

Internet overreaction at it's finest....anyone that was at the game Sunday knows it was an unorganized mess. From running out of fountain drinks, to the screening at the gates, to the crowd reaction.....this rumor got started somehow and spread like wildfire. I never once thought it was true

I also noticed that they stopped giving away touchdown balls. Unless I am forgetting it. 
Old ways are dying. Sad. 
 

He who shall not be named is the reason that has come to an end since he's not here anymore.

The only good idea Mike Shula ever had.

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.
