Official Panthers/49ers Tailgate Thread


mush

Recommended Posts

After what seems like too many years we finally have another home playoff game.  Time to roll out for another Huddle Tailgate and for this one we're breaking out the good china.  Starting out with a few generous sponsors (thank you AviationMX, Madhatter, and smittycam) were able to get gas money together for Ranucci to show up with his big rig cooker loaded with all kinds of goodies for anybody who shows up. 

 

Ranucci (www.ranuccis.com) has been doing tailgates for the Huddle ever since he bought his first cooker.  The story goes that after buying that first cooker, he contacted the Huddle about trying out a tailgate for free.  Since it was the first one he had ever done and was doing it for free, then we had nothing to lose.  If he screwed it up we couldn't complain.  It was a huge success.

 

Since that time he has operated a restaurant and earned a full wall of trophies including two top 10 Memphis nationals finishes.  Just recently at the Blues, Brews, and BBQ festival here in Charlotte he won a few trophies as well.  So with that said this Sunday we'll be tailgating and it's open to anyone as long as you bring some cash to donate for his services and competition quality BBQ. 

 

Here's the rest of the details:

 

Time?  We will start this tailgate at 6am.  There will be Bojangles biscuits available til they're done.  Food will be done about noon as people will be filing into the stadium shortly after that. 

 

What food?  On the menu this week is Ranuccis award winning competition quality BBQ, Ribs, smoked wings, buffalo turds, boiled peanuts, baked beans, slaw, and chips.  A myriad of non alcoholic sodas and waters will be available as well.  IF YOU DRINK ALCOHOL YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN. 

 

Where?  Tailgating lot is in a large open lot that borders Church, 3rd, and Tryon streets.  We'll have a big cooker on the premises.

 

What do I bring?  Since we have everything covered, we really just need CASH.  It costs a lot to get this put together with parking spots, food, gas, supplies, etc.  You're getting competition quality BBQ, and ribs so please don't show up with $1 bills.

 

Who?  Probably 50 people or so, most on the website but some who aren't but are associated with us.

 

Any other questions this is the thread to ask.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
