'Sup, Dawgs


Dilla

Recommended Posts

Hello,

My name is Dilla, and I am from Washington, NC but my family is originally from the Atlantic City/ Pleasantville, NJ areas. If you don't know where Washington is, it's a little town in Beaufort County about 20 miles east of Greenville(like 3/4 of my senior class went to ECU). I'm a junior majoring in meteorology at UNC Charlotte at the moment, though.

I've actually been a lurker here since last year's preseason, but it's a general rule for me to lurk a while to get an overall feel of the board. Of course by then, Carolina was doing really well, so I didn't sign up to avoid looking like a bandwagoner. Well, sadly the Panthers are 0-3, but that gives me a shot to register.

I'm a big fan of the Carolina Panthers and a general fan all the other major Carolina professional teams plus NASCAR. College-wise, I've been a UNC fan since '98. Don't worry though, I always follow UNC Charlotte first and I'm a big supporter of a football team, I'll buy a PSL when I get the money and if it's still possible.

I also cheer for the Minnesota Vikings, since the first NFL game I ever watched was the Vikings vs the Bears on Sunday Night Football(Vikings won 38-28 or 37-27, something like that) during that 15-1 season when the Vikings had the Randall Cunningham/Cris Carter/(rookie)Randy Moss three-headed monster in 1998. The flashiness they had wow'd me from the start and it started my interest in football. If you remember what happened to them in the playoffs that year, then you'll know when the seeds of hate for Atlanta (and Gary Anderson to an extent) were planted in me.

I hope I enjoy my stay.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
