So, I just got off work and had to share a cool story. 


We were allowed to wear Panthers gear to work last night to acknowledge the game Sunday. Damn near everybody had on a Panthers shirt or hat. It was cool to see. Even more cool was what happened late in the night.


We were finishing up some things at the end of shift, and a few guys were trickling out to go home. As they passed by and acknowledged their departure, they'd stop and let the rest of us know. Twice I was told "Keep Pounding".


Anybody else get this from people? Is this going to be a "thing" for us like War Eagle/Roll TIde is for the Auburn/Bama crowds?


Also, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Maybe because it's new and feels kinda "campy". Maybe it's because pro sports don't normally have those sorts of things that fans share on non-game days. I don't know. Was pretty cool though, because they said it so nonchalantly and it took me a minute to realize, "wait....they said that...and I responded?"

I think that the fact that it is based on something so inspirational keeps it from being "campy."

Yeah, I just couldn't think of a word to describe it. Meh.

 

 

They've been saying keep pounding for a decade now.

I understand the phrase isn't exactly new. I remember the little keychain hammers that were given out back in the day with Sam Mills' and Mark Fields' numbers on them. It's just a matter of not hearing Panthers fans using it towards one another just in passing as a "greeting".

The porn industry locked up that saying many years ago

I've often wondered if porn directors are like regular movie directors and freak out if a scene isn't going well.

"CUT! What is this!? Did you even read the script!? And the blocking! You guys need to get your head out of your asses"

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
