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"

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    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.
