I was uptown last night. That tourney sure does bring a huge crowd to Charlotte. Every club, paid parking lot, and restaurant was jammed packed. The streets were packed like mardi gras. Good for the uptown economy no doubt.

I lol'd at the local crackheads who came out to "holla" at the fine collegiate women. More delusional than Cowboys fans.

I was out Friday night and the crowds were insane. I had to stay away from Uptown on Saturday with TI, R Kelly, etc around. I heard that even DJ Jazzy Jeff showed up. When's the last time you heard THAT name?

Uptown during CIAA reminds me of the greyhound bus station in Atlanta, at 3am....right across the street from Magic City.

If you've been there you know what in talking about.

Not funny. Been there - waiting for the marta to open. I prefer CIAA over that mess 366 days a leap year.

Couple years ago we were flying out of Charlotte to Aruba and we got a hotel room close to the airport as we had a very early flight. Of course, we booked the rooms a few weeks in advance and had no idea what the CIAA tournament was or anything...

...we thought we just got a hotel in the wrong part of town... 'course, we got no sleep that night with all the noise. I don't understand the need to yell at someone standing 3 feet away in normal conversation.

So, when we couldn't sleep, we just went down to the lobby and people watched all night- was freakin' hilarious

      Didn't know where to post this but it is panthers relevant since eventually we'll have a couple wr in Coker and tmac that will get paid. Jaxon Smith-njigba just signed a 4 year $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest paid wr in nfl history. For now

      Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.

      II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.
