Carolina Panthers were a team in 1983?

I was at a bar in Vegas a few hours ago for a beer and had my Panthers hat on. Bar tender comes up and tells me he was a fan of the Panthers back in 1983 when nobody liked them. He said he had a big Panthers blanket hanging on the wall in his apartment back then. :thumbsup:

I didn't have the heart to tell him....

Is that not when JR came to charlotte to try for a team?

at the earliest panthers stuff would have been made around 10 years later.

nobody talked about the NFL until we got the Hornets. So whenever we got them would be the earliest anybody knew about the Panthers. It's a lot easier for a city to get an NBA franchise, after we got our foot in the door JR started the hype machine.

    • 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.
