UpstatePanther

before there was a Panthers team, my family was all Redskins fans. there were a sprinkling of Colts, Cowboys, and Falcons fans. but mostly skins fans. so i dont hate them. they're just easy to make fun of.

it will be awesome if ATL loses two. today, and on thursday to the Aints. i hope the Aints lose today so that they are desperate and fired up for thursday.

looks like the Jags are about to get back in the game though... they are in the redzone correction. touchdown jaguars. 20-14 buccaneers.

BAHAHAHAHA i swear the announcers jinx whoever they cover... suck it Falcons...

now we just need the redskins to take advantage. fug the Falcons

this redskins defense is pissing me off a bit.

come on redskins! they arent playing too badly today. just gotta keep that defense tight. 7-0 foreskins

pied before reading. great work as usual Igo!

pied before reading. i will repost on facebook!

I have the honor of being on the field to help wave the American flag today for the national anthem. :) I am so excited I feel like a little kid! This will be one of my best Panther memories!

this is one of the better podcasts ive listened to. great job getting both players to come in Jeremy!

I am going to this game and I do believe it will be tough, but it's the home opener and our fans are going to show out and be LOUD. I'm excited for this game

as always, we appreciate your work Zod! and the Huddle answered as one: "We deserve thee not, O great MFCEO"

Is this the real life? is this just fantasy? caught in a landslide, no escape from reality....

KB is the statistician. im more of a writer. i try not to tread on his territory haha. sounds about right to me KB. those are the figures i found when writing my preview. its disappointing that the Panthers website would commit such errors

I'm thinking 10-6 and division champs again. The rest of the south is going to be fighting to attain mediocrity and have tough starts to the season. We have an easier start and have all our tough games at once, pretty much. season Q1: I see us going 4-0, 3-1 at least. Season Q2: 1-3 here, though it could easily be 0-4. I also think 3-1 is attainable depending on how well we can put it together. I think we are 5-3 or 6-2 after week 9. season Q3: 3-1, maybe 2-2 depending on how good Washington and New Orleans are. Those will be our 2 biggest trap games aside from this weekend's season opener. We should win both games on defense alone. I want to beat Dallas in their house on Turkey Day so bad but I think it's a loss. season Q4: 3-1, maybe 2-2. I think we lose to either the Falcons or Giants. I don't see us losing twice to the Falcons, but it's possible we lose to both of them. I know my prediction at the beginning of my post doesn't match the predictions quarterly. The Panthers will probably lose a game somewhere that I feel they should win. there is still potential for 12-4 methinks. But there would be a lot of outside factors at play if that happens. Either way, I think we win the division. The other teams just aren't as talented.

no. but its nothing for them to get a foot of snow at least 3 times per year. and thats not counting the weekly inch they get every time a system rolls through. not to mention IT NEVER MELTS until like... late March

ah crap. i probably did. not that its not happened before haha. and well i suppose you'll love the 95 degree heat with oppressive humidity then ;)

sounds like most of PA. i think the only place there are more philly fans than pittsburgh fans is within the Philadelphia city limits. the rest of the state bleeds black and gold. 2008 was a good year though. i wore my Dad's XXL-sized Smith jersey to school like once a week on my M-sized frame haha. it was a dress but i was a proud fan in foreign territory. i loved it. got a lot of compliments that year for my bold support of the team. as a socially inept sophomore, i relished that. haha. good luck on the move to Carolina. both states are beautiful, but if you dont like heat, move to the mountains or right on the beach. haha.

Dad went to school down in Asheville, NC. went to USC Columbia as well. I go to a private Christian school in the Upstate of SC. but i went to State College High School and have plenty of experience with PSU football. there's a tender place in my heart for the Nittany Lions. i grew up from age 9 hearing all about them. Luckily, Dad was able to save me from being a Steelers fan, or worse... and Eagles fan *shudders*

and shulaball rears its ugly, ugly head...

so does my Dad @Superadiabatic. He lives in State College and so did i before i went off to school. where do you live?

i know right. this is very encouraging. we will need our defense to carry our team this year and its good to know that our depth can play at a high level as well.

illegal fuggin formation? reallllly? what are these... acc refs?! ;)
