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.

      REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

      By strato · Posted

      Why does analyzing the motivations and thought process of a failed draft, and coming up with a viewpoint that is different from yours, or anyone’s, have to equal shoe shining? There is a box and it is okay to venture outside of it. Not a shoebox lol. A thinking outside the box  And the box in this case is a prejudice against Fitterer and his subordinates. For one thing. Also an attitude that it was business as usual for the 2024 draft, and it really wasn’t some damned all hands on deck Chinese fire drill trying to cover Tepper’s butt. Fail at your peril.  It is hard for me to understand that being an unrealistic scenario. And yeah I want Morgan to succeed but it isn’t a blank check. Let him do something like trade the 2027 1st round pick for a lightweight edge rusher… see what you hear out of me about that.

      I get it but it was still the wrong approach. Need a pass catching back, get one in FA. They're out there. Fill the holes that got you to a 2-15 record with starting caliber draft picks. Just about everything that has been done over the past 3 years has been to prop up Bryce and he still barely got to 3k yards. Part of why I'm still not sold on Dan. Just some really questionable at best team building strategies. The draft results this year were better, but overall, at the end of the season, I don't know that the team is really that much better from when he started. We were a 6 win team that got lucky GB couldn't score on 6 trips into the RZ and the Jets were a train wreck. 16 and 13 point offensive outputs aren't going to usually result in wins.

      I loved his approach to cap he'll Hurney left us with. He also called time on a couple guys who were aging out of their contract wants.  That was the good.  The rest, he was just an ass and nobody wanted to see shorts hiked up that high on him ever. They're shorts, not a bra. Thank God one of the twins didn't fall out for the world to see.
