Novel idea but just play a great song and don't worry about it having Carolina anywhere in it after winning? I'm guessing something too hard would get out of hand so just play something like Kiss by Prince (newer would be great and change it up but keep that feel) and set a celebratory mood. This song was old and flat to me back in the late 90s already. That song is what mayonnaise fugs too to make aioli.

Yeah I have always absolutely hated the idea of copying the Boston Red Sox and using a song written by a NYC pop songwriter about Caroline Kennedy to celebrate the victory of a football team from the south representing the Carolinas. 

I mean, do something ORIGINAL how about it?

Doc Watson was from NC.

John Coltrane was from NC. 

You have a lot to work with. 

 

Fact, maybe a fun fact, maybe not. Brooklyn if you were old enough to have heard Charlie Daniels' 'The South's Gonna Do it Again' Carolina is in fact referred to as Caroline lol. I remembered it when I read your post. And it was referencing SC, but same difference wth the Carolina thing

It was a song about all the 'Southern Rock' bands from the early '70s.

Got a cool guitar riff in it. Looked it up. The second line of the 1st verse"

And the Tucker boys are cookin' down in Caroline

I just want to hear Neil Diamond sing "Sweet Caroline" at the end of Panthers games and hear the crowd singing happily along.

Is it too much to ask for nine or ten of those this year?

We're owed it.

Neil deserves it.

I don't.  I hate that song with a burning passion.  My blood boils and I cringe when I hear it.  That being said, I'll begrudgingly endure it for a win.

who copied whom?

The National Football League's Carolina Panthers have played the song as a victory song at all home games since 1996. In 2020, the Panthers played the song to an empty Bank of America Stadium in honor of all front-line workers in the COVID-19 pandemic.[

I did not know that, obviously. Good one CC.

I will quit saying that. 

Still hate the fuging song lol. Still would prefer they'd put something together with stuff by native Carolinians.

Is this the mandela effect?  I had no idea.  Probably because every time I see us play, we lose.  And I'm old enough to remember this.

I can't quite listen to the whole thing. But..

You could do the Stand and Cheer song over a more modern beat and take out the melody so there isn't one, and it would be just like a lot of the stuff on the radio. 

Do it it like that horrible hybrid country hip hop style that I cannot abide, the fans might eat it up. 

Change 'cheer' to 'represent' or something. That type of thing...

Everyone hated it but it's kind of endearing now.  They should have stuck with it imo.  It sucks but if you play it for long enough people may grow to like it.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
