Official Panthers/Giants Tailgate Thread


mush

Recommended Posts

Time to start a new season of tailgating again! Seems like forever since the last one. Anyways the Huddle is again for the 7th year in a row (61 tailgates in a row) providing a free tailgate for any and all that show up. Mostly Panthers fans, but also opposing fans and every homeless person that shows up as well. You never know who you’ll meet on gameday here.

The Huddle has been fortunate to have generous sponsors every game to provide free food and non-alcoholic drinks to everyone that shows up. In return the people that partake leave a donation that, because of the sponsors, 100% goes towards a year end bike donation to Toys for Tots. We’re talking upwards of $20,000 and 600 bikes to date have been donated to the Marine Corps Reserve during this time.

This week’s sponsor is Kings Mountain Auto Brokers. KM Auto Brokers is located in Kings Mountain on Hwy. 74 Bypass at the intersection of Bethlehem Rd. Please visit them for all your automotive needs or call 704-579-1099.

This week’s fare will be burgers and dogs with all the trim. Assorted sodas and waters will be available. Here’s the usual info:

Where: We are located at the intersection of 3rd st. and Poplar. We are located in a large parking lot that borders 3rd, poplar, and church st. congregating at 3rd and poplar. Look for the carolinahuddle.com banners, tents, and loud music.

What: Food, music, drinks (non-alcoholic) and friendly Panthers fans. Shade to beat the heat.

When: We’ll start at 3pm this week. Maybe earlier. Food will be over at 7:30pm.

Who: Anywhere from 50 to 100 fans each week all somehow connected to this website.

How much: The parking lot is $20 to park there but you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. Many take the light rail for a few dollars and walk down or park a few blocks back for cheaper and just walk up.

When you show up and partake, please donate as much as you can to our cause. It’s a labor of love for us, but at the end of the day don’t discount what you saved by not bringing your grill, food, drinks, etc. and what it would cost you for a day of tailgating, shopping, and energy cooking. Remember 100% of your donation goes to charity. Hard to find many others that claim that nowadays.

Disclaimer: There will probably be loud music. The Huddle does not police adult behavior at tailgates so while kids have a blast at tailgates, we can’t be responsible for what they may see or hear during the time. Remember if you drink alcohol you’re responsible for bring your own and keeping it cool.

Any other questions this is the thread to ask.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
