Well gang, I just returned from the Outer Banks, and though it was a terrible season, I found that we still have staunch support up and down the coast. Like all (who are fans), eveyone I spoke with is excited about Cam and Coach Ron. Of course there were the pockets of transplanted steeler-yankee-a$$holes. (I know it's a rhetorical question... but if Pitt. PA is so damn great, then why are they all coming here?). Anyway Black and Blue nation is alive and well on the OBX.

My thoughts exactly, Pittsburgh is so great that everyone gets the hell outta there as soon as they can and most of them end up here... but our team, city, etc is "crap".

I don't expect anyone to give up the team they grew up with when they move here, but why can't you be a Steelers/Panthers fan if you live here?

It is easy to pull for a winner and the Panthers haven't been around forever. The reason you don't see Redskins fans all over the place is because they are terrible. If they ever start winning again, Skins fans will come out of the woodwork. This is a huge pet peeve of mine.

My other pet peeve are the Panther's street vendors. Every year when the Steelers or other popular teams come in town, our street vendors ***** themselves out and sell terrible towels, cheese heads, etc. I refuse to ever buy anything from them because they are so disloyal. They earn their living week in and week out off of Panthers fans then stab us in the back to make a quick extra buck. I am sure to remind them of this every time which I am sure they appreciate. ha ha.

I'm sure the Panthers will win a few Superbowls in the next decade, and the fan base will expand enormously. I became a fan when I saw the Panthers in the Superbowl as a kid. I bet one day if Ron can get us some rings we could be VERY popular; a great team with nice uni's! <--How could you not love em? Better than ugly Sleeler uni's. And do y'all think we could ever be like the Sleelers, Patriots, Cowboys, ect. after a decade or two of dominance?

I was up at Kitty Hawk a few weeks ago and I can confirm the OP's observations.

My Panther painted cornhole boards drew some friendly fellow fans into brief conversation, and overall people seem hopeful about the new beginnings here with Rivera/Newton.

Of course, the Shittsburgh contingent was also prevalent.

I had a place in Oak Island for awhile, and it was very staunch Panthers in Wilmington and in Myrtle Beach. Of course, living in Raleigh, there is nothing except ACC and NASCAR even outweighting the Hurricanes.

Love living in Raleigh, but, the city has Charlotte envy and I could not tell you why.

At least the local paper now covers the Panthers more as its Sports Dept is out of Charlotte for the most part, thank God...that's how bad the coverage is here, I thank God for the Charlotte Observer staff.

There seem to be a lot of Patriots fans in Raleigh, joy joy...and of course Steelers...have not seen very many Skins fans.

I lived in DC most of my life and I hated the Redskins. I hate them still.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
