eerie deja vu

[KillaCamNewton]

i turn 32 next week so i've basically grown up with the team. one of my earliest memories from my childhood is going to a game after thanksgiving in cold and overcast weather and beating the kurt warner and marshall faulk rams. eerie that it was almost 25 years later to the day, and we beat a super bowl contending rams team on a cold overcast day and strangely enough both games had a panthers pick 6 that ended up being the difference. the game in 2000 put us to 6-7 while sunday's game moved us to 7-6. looking back there's a lot of similarities with the night and day kind of team. that 2000 team swept the defending super bowl champs rams but were swept by the 4-12 falcons. had a dominant MNF win over Favre and the Packers but had a dogfight shootout against the 1-15 chargers. hopefully this year ends better than that team's

‘97-‘01 was pretty forgettable besides the whole 1-15 thing.  I was convinced the sports gods hated me.  I was in High School those 4 years and everything sucked.  My HS football team was terrible, the Panthers declined after the NFCCG, George Shinn owned the Hornets, and Dean Smith retired.

Dark days, they were.

Youre telling me man. The last year i lived in NC the Panthers went 1-15 and the Heels went 8-20 their worst year ever. Family moved to Arizona that summer and of course we made the Super Bowl the next year and UNC got a natty the year after

I was at that game as well. Warner threw a pick 6 that was almost identical to the Stafford pick 6 to Jackson. I think Jimmy Hitchcock retuned it back down the same sideline for the score. It was super cold that day. I was in the shade pretty much the whole time and it wasn’t pleasant but the win was shocking. The Rams offense was completely shut down like they hadn’t been before.

I think that was the same year that we got demolished by the Raiders on Christmas Eve or something like that.

Following that logic, the Panthers should wind up at 9-7.

This season reminds me a lot of 1999. The ups and downs. That was the season where I moved from a casual to a fanatic and Steve Beuerlein is still the fuging man.

I was at that game as well sitting in the end zone area and remembered how the stadium erupted when Hitchcock got that pick six. It was supposed to snow the night before through the morning hours but not a flake fell and when the sun came out in the 2nd half the fans applauded sarcastically at the botched forecast.

Oh I remember that. And not just snow but it was like inches of snow lol. I remember being all ready for it and then nothing happens other than it being cold as fug.
