Very cool. I sometimes wish i had grown up during that time. Not so much in New York, but San Fran.

I was thinking the same thing then read this sobering comment:

While these people look pretty the 70's not everyone did. The 70's were a decade marred by drug abuse, serial killers and a terrible economy in the US. As I recall it was the same in England, which is why the wedding of Princess Diana in 1981 and the election of Thatcher ( and here, Regan) at the end of the decade was seen in a favorable light - it ushered in an era of hope. Now you may not like them but you have to put things in the context of their time. These pictures are fun but the real 70's weren't.

bummer

Yea I was talking more about the musical scene of that time. My dad was 18 during the Hippie peace/love festivals in Haight Ashbury, said it was a blast.

My father was not a hippie though.

My dad was in the corporate world by the time the 60s came around. Once he was on a recruiting trip to UC Berkeley, and the kids shut down the campus and chained/padlocked the building that he was in. He missed his flight back home. Needless to say, he was not a hippie, and was not sympathetic. LOL

Haha. My mom went to Berkely, but in the 70s. And yea there were certainly some lunatics.

I think my dad was more commentating on all the naked hippie chicks walking around.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Just because all draft picks are a gamble doesn't mean you don't have a better chance at hitting on a better player the higher you're drafting. It would literally be like someone saying, I'll give you 1 or 2 free spins on a slot machine, and you say you'll take the 1 because you're not likely to win anything anyways with 1 or 2, so why bother? The Cowboys desperately wanted T-Mac, but because they were 4 picks behind us, they weren't able to get him.  If you told Cowboys fans that had they lost 2 more games last year in a lost season, that it would get them the player they wanted so badly, would they in retrospect go back and lose those games to get their guy? 95% of them would take that trade off in a heartbeat, and the others who wouldn't are the fans who would rather enjoy an extra win or two in a poo season to then set themselves up to be better for the next decade. I also think the fans who argue against this thinking, get too caught up in the "well that means you're going to be rooting against us late in the season even if we still have a shot at the playoffs." Which isn't true, it's saying if you're telling me right now we'd make the playoffs but lose in the first round, that I'd rather end up 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss the playoffs because in our opinion, the benefits that come along with that outweigh the benefit of the players getting 1 game of playoff experience.

      In relation to tanking. I think you can count on one hand the number of people here who actually want us to lose football games. When accounting for it across the fanbase it amounts to maybe 2% of the entire Panthers fanbase. But you engage with some internet trolls and think haters are coming out of the woodwork and hey look at that it's all a conspiracy that leads to Bryce Young haters. Do you hear yourself sir? If it sounds ridiculous that's because it is. I mean at this point do you see Bryce haters in your dreams? As far as the culture of this franchise goes we seem to be doing better in that department via what we are building right now and with the people we have in place. But we also shouldn't just make assumptions just yet either. The rubber still needs to meet the road. And going back to previous seasons I think we can acknowledge although tanking obviously isn't a thing there were some times where we thought our culture was improving but really it wasn't. Yes I'm looking directly at some of those wins under Wilks. If the culture had truly changed we would not have lost to the Steelers who have been mediocre for years at home the way we did and they were starting Mitch Trubisky ffs. We did not change our culture for the better and we won games that ultimately meant nothing. It was just a brief mirage. We've done this for years now. The harsh truth of the matter is the Panthers have not had a winning season or been to the playoffs in going on 8 years but in those years they've been trying to convince themselves they aren't poo but in the process all they've done throughout most of that time period is squander better draft position and we were still the worst team in the league for our troubles. At the end of the day we should be able to just be adults and reconcile with that. And no that isn't being "pro tank" or any other boogeyman term it's simply recognizing reality.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      He's an asset in a game manager role. But as soon as you have to ask him to go out there and try to make plays and not just take what the defense is giving him... well, Darnolding happens.
