Time to start regular season tailgating. The Panthers take on the Bucs in the home opener at 1pm and the tailgating will start at the crack of dawn. Hopefully the Panthers get a win and start out 1-1 but no matter what good times will be had tailgating.

This week's tailgate is sponsored by madhatter and Panthers55. Please be sure to thank them for their generosity this week as these tailgates would not happen without sponsors. Panthers55 owns four Sylvan Learning centers located in Denver, NC, Rock Hill/Ft. Mill, Spartanburg, SC and Shelby, NC. Sylvan Learning Centers are specialists in helping children of all ages overcome a myriad of learning hurdles and enabling them to academically thrive and be confident in their learning sphere. Please call them and let their experienced professionals help your children overcome their difficulties.

Mention the Huddle at one of these 4 locations and you will get a free assessment worth $175 for your child.

This Sunday we start the tailgating off with Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com) providing all the food and it's gonna be good stuff. Ranucci finished 9th this year at the World BBQ championship in Memphis and last weekend took 2nd place in ribs at the Blues, Brews, and BBQ festival in Charlotte. We are so thankful to have him bringing his 'big rig' to our tailgate and supplying the food. Our menu this week will consist of competition quality pulled pork, ribs, and various sides including beans, slaw, rolls, and turds.

FAQ:

1. Who will be there/who can come? Let's start this out by saying that anybody can come and everyone is welcome. It has been this way ever since we started in 2004 and it makes the day interesting to say the least. Just come on down. The first tailgate started with about 8 people and since then thousands of people have tailgated with us, some every week. We were all newcomers at one point or another.

2. Where? The tailgate is in a parking lot across the street (same side) from Picasso's located at 230 S. Church St. It's a big parking lot that borders Church, 3rd, and Poplar downtown. In particular we are in the corner of 3rd and Poplar. There will be loud music and there will be a Carolina Huddle banner up on a tent by the sidewalk. We are right beside the lower entrance to this lot. You'll see a big cooking rig this week and let your nose guide you to our spot.

3. When? We will start tailgating at 7am, going until right before kickoff. No food will be served until around 10:30am and if you get there past 12:30pm or so don't expect any food to be left.

4. What do I bring? We provide just about everything. Food, plates, side items, non alcoholic drinks like waters, a diet soda, and regular soda. We have tents in case it rains and a few chairs if you really need one. If you drink alcohol, you need to bring it because the Huddle does not in any way provide alcohol for tailgates. If you bring your alcohol, bring some way to cool it because iced cooler space is in short supply on hot summer days.

5. How much? We provide everything for you to have a good tailgate and leave full before going into the game. We guarantee the food you eat at this tailgate is way better than the overpriced junk you could buy in the stadium. Take that into account when the donation bucket comes around. Consider you didn't have to bring any grill, cook, or go to the grocery store to tailgate. 100% of all the money donated goes to the end of season Toys for Tots drive at the stadium. Few other charities can claim 100% given goes to the cause. For the opportunity to eat all you can eat of competition quality BBQ, and given that it's better than anything else in the city on gameday, the recommended donation is $10/person. Eat here and you won't pull your wallet out again during the whole game for food.

Parking in the lot we're at costs $25/space. You do not have to park there to tailgate with us, few people do. You can easily find spots a few blocks back for a fraction of the cost (down to $5)of this lot and just walk up. Some people take the light rail in for a few bucks.

Disclaimer: There will probably be loud music. The Huddle does not take responsibility for what is seen and heard at a tailgate so consider this before bringing children. The Huddle does not police adult behavior at tailgates.

For anyone who has not had the opportunity to sample Ranucci's grub, you are missing out. The BBQ, Ribs, and Turds are exceptional.

Come on out...drink a few cold ones...sample some great food...and enjoy some good old conversation with the people you post with here.

For any Noob...you may be required to pass the initiation test. Just dab a little "Z" on any turd and consume.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
