I want to be put on 'The Map' by this time next year.


Recommended Posts

Alabama used to be pro New Orleans. Minds are a-changing.

this map (https://interactive.twitter.com/nfl_followers2014/) says that Alabama is beginning to be a Panther stronghold ;)

EDIT: well I thought it did. oh well. it used to before the season ended. but I guess this map updates in real time because there are a hell of alot more blue counties in eastern NC than last time I saw this map. not that I'm complaining!!

 

EDIT #2: if you select only the Panthers, you can see how all of Alabama has more Panthers fans than the rest of the country outside of the home states.

being that they don't have any pro teams, Alabama doesn’t care as much about the NFL. They are all in on Auburn and Alabama (Alabama has the majority). On Sundays, they cheer for teams that have the biggest stars from Auburn or Bama. Auburn fans will cheer for teams like Carolina for Cam (and now CAP too). Bama fans will cheer for Saints (Ingram), Packers (Lacy), and so on.

That was after the 2013 season IIRC.  There were actually Panther bandwagons popping up in a lot of places on that map after 2013.

 

Didn't take long for 'em to hop off that bandwagon after 2014 though it seems.

 

Hell, half the country acts like Cam is some garbage QB after ONE bad season (and it wasn't even "bad" it was literally average... his first non above average-to-good season) where he was hurt all year with a completely new receiving corps which he had no chemistry with and the worst offensive line in the league for most the season.  It's pretty ridiculous how quickly the general NFL fan's opinion changes from season to season.

How every county in NC and SC is not solid blue is puzzling. It's a disgrace is what it is.

agreed. but we are rapidly gaining more fans. they will start as bandwagon fans or children who grow up with the Panthers around, but in 10 years time, our fanbase will be youthful and rockin! 

 

this, of course, is predicated on the Panthers continuing to string together competitive seasons.

It's A LOT better than it used to be, trust me.

 

South Carolina used to be like 75% Steelers on that map not even a year and a half ago.  Sizeable chunks of NC also used to be be Steelers/Dallas/Redskins.  Now they're both almost completely Panther blue.

 

Good to see South Carolina is finally starting to get with the fugin' program.  I've even noticed in person when I go to SC this past year there seems to suddenly be a lot more Panthers representation than usual.
