HOPE & PANTHER NATION!


MeowMeowMeooow

Recommended Posts

I've been on this forum for a few years. I've seen the lows. I know it's in our nature to doubt and to be discouraged by signs the team might struggle. But I've had about enough.

 

I've been a fan since my parents took me to the first home game EVER down in Clemson, SC. I've watched as the team went 1-15. I was there for the Cards Playoff melt down, in my Delhomme jersey and stayed until the last seconds ticked away. I paid for tickets to see the historically awful 2010 Panthers. I was there for the 2011 Titans blowout. I have braved the Spartanburg heat a number of years to catch a glimpse of our future. I have been through some of the toughest times in Carolina fans history, and yet I still have HOPE!

 

I can't understand how some of you can call yourselves "fans" and yet throw away the season because of a preseason game or a soaring pass from Newton that misses the target. Or how many can say if we don't win week 1, it's over. I hold out Hope until we are mathematically out of it. But then I turn my Hope towards the future. 

 

Yeah, we are due for a playoff run. And yes there have been some mistakes made, but wants the point of being a fan if you give up on the team before they even play a snap that matters. Some people may call me a "Homer" or say I'm not being realistic... Well, that's what being a fan is about. I may get upset if we lose a big game or get screwed out of a win, but I don't give up on MY TEAM. We may suck this season... That's a possibility. But I will hold on to my hope.

 

I've personally seen you guys come together in a fashion that is unheard of from any fan base (Greatest Uni Contest). Why can't we all be this devoted to the team year around?

 

Do I think we will beat the Ravens tis week? Yes.

Do I think we will win Week 1? HELL YES!

Do I think we will be SB Champs this season? Why the hell not?!?!

 

Could I be wrong? Possibly.

 

But it doesn't matter because EVERY SINGLE DAY I know in my heart I have Hope in this team. EVERY MINUTE I know.... I BELONG TO PANTHER NATION!

 

So this is my message. This is MY battle cry. Join me! Don't let the temptation to expect less than perfection creep in!

 

BE A PART OF PANTHER NATION AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!!!

 

or GTFO!

TL;DR

Kidding, but I've learned to just ignore the idiots. This forum is a metaphor for life, a sample size if you will. 90% of the posters are total morons and sheeple, constantly preaching that the sky is falling everytime they hear a talking head on espn. No amount of logic or reasoning can change them.

The other ten percent make it worthwhile to stick around, sit back and enjoy the show.

    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️ 
    • I'd gamble, miles josh green and 2-3 firsts especially if we could trade both this years and 1 future
