What would training camp be like this year?

[jtm]

Summed up about training camp - hot, crowded, and no seating.

Just moving back East this will be the first time I've been able to attend, so the crowd will increase by at least one.

Go Panthers

Training camps all over will be like this:

"3-25, red, 3-25, hut, hut"

"FUMBLE"

"36!"

So if things go the other way, and there is no season this year, do we still get the number 1 pick in 2012?

Hopefully

No more than last year for the AE and Clausen bandwagons.

aww the AE bandwagons werent that bad. I mostly felt that I could balance some the hate with a little hope that a local guy might be successful.

I think the panthers will have more cam fans than panther fans, hell this board gained a lot more members. I positively anticipate the buzz wearing off and the idiot Cam/Auburn fans leaving. I think its stupid and annoys me how some all of a sudden 'become a fan of a team' just becasue the player you are a fan of joins it.

You underestimate Cam, he will have WAY more band wagoners than AE and Clausen combined, winning not only a SEC championship but also the Heisman.

I think training camp will be shortened this year as we don't seem likely to have a deal done before the end of June at the earliest. With everything that has to be done to get ready for the season, it will be hard to fit it all in. I heard some discussion which suggests that June 15th would be latest a deal could be done and still have a full training camp.

As such it will likely be well attended by fans who won't be able to afford game tickets and who want autographs. Plus there will be folks like me that want to see the new defensive schemes and offensive sets. Some will be there to see Newton but others also want to see the new coaches work with the team to see what new wrinkles we install. Unfortunately we will likely be installing a truncated version of the playbook and they will likely be installing plays well into the season.

I also expect the media will be well represented to watch Newton as he has gotten a lot of hype. It should be very interesting for the first time in a while.
