So why the wife and kids have been in Carolina with you guys.......

[AKPantherFan]

A lot of you know that I am a football coach, some even know I get to coach the "Panthers" (Pop Warner). Well I never forced the Panthers on my son, but he is a huge fan now (he has played for the Panthers and this is his 3rd year!)

So while my family has been gone I have been re-doing my sons room....

I re-painted his room, and then I have framed a Dwill Jersey that I have had in the closet + I still have a Stephen Davis jersey on the way.

I still have about 6 pictures to hang, but I am waiting for that other framed jersey to show up..

I did all the work myself...

let me know what you think!!!

(yes-- he is spoiled)

[Guest CatofWar]

Very nice, well done dad!

[WildBill559]

Lucky kid. That looks great.

[AKPantherFan]

I pick with him all the time that his room is Dad's "holding room" until we get our Panther room lol lol lol

[AKPantherFan]

I will take pics of the "finished" room when I get that damn stephen davis framed jersey. I bought it about 1 month ago on ebay, and its not gotten here yet..

I filed a dispute today.

The story behind the project;

Well my son and I had gotten home that night from having my football teams cookout. He had been running around all day, playing football and having fun.

Well every night he knows we do 30 pushup's, its what we do. That night he started pouting, and didnt want to do the push ups, so I called him down to his room and started pulling pictures off of his carolina blue walls.

I look at him and use this as an oppertunity to teach him about hard work, I start saying; you see Steve Smith, he never quit, Julius Peppers..... He never quit, DeAngelo Williams, do you know why he is great? Because he never quit, and I continue on as I take each player pic off the wall.... (now before you just think I am being a dick, our family motto is; Coopers never quit)- I go on and continue pulling all the pictures off the wall, he is crying saying I WILL NEVER QUIT DAD- I WONT QUIT-- I tell him he already has......

I told him to sit on his bed and think about why he quit on me, then go to bed...

I leave the room and the wife is looking at me like Im crazy (i am) -- I then smile and whisper to her; "Im going to make his room special, and paint it, I had to get the pictures off the walls anyways.

So when he left his for N.C. the next day his room was stripped and his pride was broken.

I am sure when he gets back and se's the new paint + Jerseys+ shelves+ black bins, and the whole setup he will be excited....

I hope he is, Im excited for him!

I dont think he will ever forget that night, BUT I am sure he will forever remember the night next week when he see's his new room for the 1st time..

(plus I doubt he ever quits on me again)

I was about to say man that was harsh. You sounded like one of those delusional parent types but what you did was very clever.

Nice job on the room btw. Alot of cool things in there he could keep when he out grows his fandom stage. He should like it.

I really like the Optimus Prime Helmet on the shelf lol

[Cape Fear Cat]

Good job, man! Lots of nice stuff there. I had to laugh when you said it was your "holding room" until you can get your own Panther Cave. I'm the same way. I have more than sixty jerseys - about thirty of them signed - and a thick notebook full of signed pics and other stuff that I'm hoarding until I can find a place to display them in. Lately I've been thinking about getting one of those 40 foot shipping containers an fixing that up as the cave. You can get two of them, weld them together, cut out holes for windows, doors, HVAC, etc., and they would make a pretty cool place to watch a game - at least I think they would.

That is pretty bad ass! Come do my basement next.
