A Couple Thoughts From Inside the Stadium

USC copied that traditon from me as I used to Rave to Sandstorm in the 90's.

Boom!

 

Let's not go crazy. That is what a lot of other NFL stadiums are for a regular season game.  There was nothing amazing about it.  Above average for a Panther game, yes. 

 

You want amazing...drive another 90 minutes down 85 or 77 to Clemsux or USC.  It still blows my mind that big football school fans in the area are soooooooooooooo much more into the game from start to finish than they are at a Panthers game.

 

On a side note about inside the game from my perspective

 

I gave up my season tickets (used to buy them from a PSL holder) four years ago because we couldn't do both USC and Panthers game anymore due to having a kid so we had to pick one.  Being in the stadium for the first time in 4 years, I was really disappointed in the in-game experience. Speakers were terrible. Couldn't ever find stats. PA announcer was lame. Music wouldn't be relevant if it were 1992. They just copy traditions from USC like Sandstorm and "It's another Panthers...". Lame.  And worst of all, it was exactly all like this 4 years ago.  No improvements to any of this. 

 

That said, it was a huge improvement to see fans actually in their seat at kickoff and for the first half, we never sat down.  It was truly sad to see 80% of the people leave with 4:30 left.  I mean really...it is sunny and 60 degrees in January. WTF better do you have to do for the next 15 minutes. Did make it super easy to get out though when the clock hit 00.

You're a guy? Iola is a popular girl's name and your avatar looks like it belongs on a bridal forum. You like to confuse people? LOL

Some people are just gonna leave games early. It's just the way they are. When it happens when the game hasn't been decided and your team still has a legit chance, it makes me wonder why they bothered to pay for tickets and show up, but you're not gonna change their habits no matter what.

I'm gonna really enjoy watching the Seahawks shut the 49er fans up. SF has climed to the top of my s*it list.

Umm, no I'm a girl. Hence, the girl picture and name :)

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
