Being on Thursday night helps too. Saturday nights a lot of people are out partying and getting drunk.

or perhaps it's the fact that they were playing the ravens... and it was one of the first few games aired, nationally might I add. No one really cares about the Panthers, except for us. Get over it. It'll be ok.

It was local station ratings..not national ratings. Reading comprehension FTW!

ok, local, whatever, still makes no difference. there's more ravens fans here in north carolina than there are panther fans. that's just how it goes in NC.
