What was your first live Panthers football game?

Canton Ohio in 1995 for me.

My dad drove me up there to watch some dumb sport named football and all I knew about it was it wasn't Mortal Kombat.

the Panthers beat the Jaguars. I was hooked.

Since then, I've missed fewer than 10 home games.

Man, I wish I had your history with games following the inaugural season Fiz...

MY dad hated sports and was/is a dick, so he didn't support me getting into them at all either as a participant or a fan... (No I don't need a kleenex)

Anyway, my uncle took me to the Bucs game our inaugural year, and we almost won... Was in Death Valley, BUT we were so far up in the nosebleeds I the players looked like I was watching an ant farm... I still loved it though. I still have my Game Program with Brett Maxie on the front, he was one of my favorites.

Haven't been able to go to another one sense then for various reasons. But, I'm happy to admit that I've lost numerous menial, poo jobs I've had for calling out of work to watch every game lol.

If anyone here has PSLs and won't be able to make a game the rest of this season, please let me know! I definitely want to make a game this year, and plan on taking my kids sometime in the next couple of years when they get old enough...

My dad got tickets in '95 and we drove down to Clemson to watch the Bucs play...

We lost. I remember feeling ashamed we lost to a team who wore such god awful jerseys...

Wow, that's cool you were there too. I have to admit I liked the ice cream unis better than these ones... 2 plays that still stick out in my memory to this day - Derrick Moore's 50+ yard run... May have been the biggest play from scrimmage for us to that point. And John Kasay hit the upright on an XPA and I promise you that upright shook for about an hour after he hit it, lol, I'll never forget that.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
