Ryne Robinson hoping for many happy returns

[bleys]

The vast majority of the Panthers fan base is from the Carolinas and most of us love to see an underdog make it, so what's the problem?

Hell, one of the main reasons why a lot of us can't get too excited about the Carolina Hurricanes, is because there is nobody from this area on that team to root for.

or because it's hockey... lol

Actually, the Hurricane's stadium is one of the loudest in the league.. Was amazed to hear that.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

i could definitely see this being a breakout year for Robinson.

Based on what? Would not go so far to say he is overrated but he gets a bit more love than he deserves. Hope someone has a breakout year as a kick/punt returner. Dont really care who it is though.

Yeah, that too. But what are the odds of the Hurricanes ever having a Brad Hoover, Hilee Taylor, or Captain Munnerlyn to root for? Most, if not all, of those Hurricane players weren't even born in the USA, much less NC or SC.

And yeah, they do have a good crowd, but that place only holds about 20,000, which wouldn't even fill a third of BOA.

Sometimes though it does get a bit excessive, Stanley McClover for example. It's easy to go from rooting for an underdog to needlessly putting an average or below average player up on a pedestal much like Saints fans do.
