Is it fairly obvious to anyone else....

[Zod]

That the "Mountaineer" formation last night was more about selling the remaining tickets the Panthers have been desperately roadblocking on their website for a month and less about actual football?

lol @ pandering to the local alumni so much. Its the mountaineer formation! Please please please buy tix.

Yeah, pretty sad. Mike Morgan mentioned last night that there are now 1,100 tickets remaining...there were 1,700 at the beginning of preseason. Ouch.

[Chaos]

Sure, buy the tickets, come to the games, and never see the formation again!

Muwahahahah!11!!

I'm not sure. I don't think, however, that it is a true Wildcat formation. It actually looks more like the offensive set up that ASU used almost exclusively when Armanti was on the field. It's more of a spread offense set up with a touch of option thrown in.

Perhaps that's the wrinkle, that the open read on it is that it will be a wildcat when it will be more of a traditional college passing set up.

If there was ever a better piece of evidence as to just how much faster, bigger and difficult the NFL is over the college game...

putting Edwards and that D1A formation on the field was a it.

I actually think it was more to give the Giants something new to think about and plan for.

Agree. However, the problem with that is that the spread offense does not work in the NFL. The speed on the defensive side of the ball is too great.

There's tickets left for all the games.

[panthers4life27]

i guess it doesnt affect me considering i live in NY and dnt ge the games anyway, but it would blow if they got blacked out

Is that for all the games or for each game?

They've been pandering to the Tar Heel Alumni for the past 9 years so its nothing new.

[Khyber53]

Mountaineer or not, with the way the economy is right now, it's got to be hard to sell tickets. And division rival or not, would you rather have tickets for Tampa Bay or Chicago if you could only afford one game?

Sorry - he was talking about the Tampa Bay game specifically.
