33. Didn't pay much attention to pro football until we got the Panthers. They have been frustrating me ever since.

Yep, and as you can see I've had an account since '08 and I used to make some really dumb posts back then as a 12 year old. I've been lurking for a while but I feel its about time I start putting in some input.

you should try harder to make stupid posts.

Works for me.

Fan since the inaugural season in 95, when I was 12 (turning 32 on Saturday). Living in Kansas City, I was never a fan of any local teams except the Royals, so the Panthers are my first and only NFL loyalty.

I'm 26, I remember the hype of getting a team and beating the cowboys.

27 years old. I only started watching football in the year 2000. My dad was a Redskin fan before the Panthers came around. I was lucky to bypass that. My older brother, who is in his 30s, is still a Skins fan today. I was never a fan of another team.

I'll be 29 this coming July and the Panthers are the only team I've ever claimed. I was born in Presbyterian Hospital in 1986 and my parents had a house off Johnston Rd (before it extended all the way to Ballantyne).

Before the Panthers the only team I was into was the Charlotte Hornets. My dad grew up a Falcons fan. I watched the 49ers/Chargers super bowl before our first season. My dad pulled for the 9ers so I did too.

I used to say I was a Niners fan because Joe Montana and Rice were the best combo I'd ever seen...but I've come to realize I was more of a fan of that combo and those people than I was of the Niners.

 

I can relate this. I always kept tabs on the Panthers because they were the local team, but I got hooked on the Titans when Steve McNair and Eddie George were playing. I really latched on to them after Super Bowl 34. I was really pulling for those two on that final drive.

But then in 2003, some no-name quarterback came in the 3rd quarter and made the Panthers fun to watch. Eventually McNair and George went their separate ways and I was old enough to appreciate more of the game besides a few offensive players. Been on this roller coaster life of being a Panthers fan ever since.

I was living in Greer, South Carolina at the time and was so excited because I didn't care for the Falcons. Have always had roots in Charleston and years after moving back was finally able to acquire a PSL.

Best belated 10th bday present ever.

When I was a kid my favorite player was Jerry Rice and as a result was a 49ers fan up until the team was anmounced. Now I can't stand the 49ers! lol

28 and ex Deion Sanders fan. Not so much the Falcons as much as Primetime. I worshipped that guy.

I practiced high stepping in the yard.
