Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Are you ready for some Foozba[i]......huh wait...[/i]Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!?? :headbange

I can’t wait!! Living here in Carolina I was raised a Redskins fan and followed them from my childhood until 93-94. I was angry when they brought in a coach from that other team that [i]I’ll not mention[/i] [color=red]( oh man how I still hate that team!!)[/color].

The rummer of us getting our very own team came true and in 1995 I turned in my [color=darkred]burgundy fan card[/color] and got a black & blue one engraved in my head! ( so to speak ) I[color=deepskyblue] have bead Carolina blue ever since[/color] but I still like to see the Skins do good, I was extremely happy to see Joe come back and I felt the relief that I know a lot of you true fans felt when he came back.

I am pulling for you guys to win the division this year, I hope you crush Philly and the G-men this year!! and KILL that other team!!

Well I will be at the game on Saturday, let’s hope we all get through it without injury so we can both have impact seasons! :food-smil
Go Panthers!! :headbange

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

have fun with rod gardner lol

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Good to see a friendly Panthers fan...

but GO SKINS! ;)

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I have several friends in NC some have converted to Carolina fans and some have stayed fans with their teams. I don't have a problem with that sense it is your home team. I do have a friend who is torn between carolina and the skins. I don't know how I would react if put in the same situation. Good luck to your team and lets hope we both make it to opening day without any major injuries. By the way Gardners nick name is 50/50 he makes one of the greatest catches and then drops the next one that hits him right in the numbers. By the way whats the status of Davis this season I heard he is still injured?

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I still don't understand how you can stop liking a team that you've worshipped your whole life, unless you didn't like them that much to begin with. I mean, I'm from Gettysburg, PA, and if they were to receive an NFL franchise tomorrow I would definately remain a Redskins fans. I wouldn't exactly root against Gettsyburg, but Washington would remain number one. That's why I hate Ravens fans: because they are fraudulent ex-Skins fans who enjoyed the Gibbs era then promptly jumped ship when things went south.

Still, you are very nice and I have come to really like the Panthers, just because it was so fun rooting for them in the NFC championship game 2 years ago in a bar full of Silent Birds fans. So I concur in wishing you and your team good luck next year.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I never understand the change of alliegance thing. If we were to get a pro team in LA I wouldn't even contemplate changing teams.

I did change 'teams' when I became an American citizen in 2003, but that was like going from Arena to NFL.

I’ll be sure to yell "50/50" when I go to get Gardner’s autograph lol... I hope he can be a good 3rd receiver for us this season, I really like our young Colbert as the 2nd. I hope yall get a good pick in the 6th round next year and we all end up happy.

Davis is doing better, they put him on the PUB for the pre-season but I think he’ll be ready to go by September. I hope so, I want him to be our touchdown guy this year, let Foster get the yards and save Davis for the redzone....he is one of the best backs to run behind his blocker!! (IMO)

He also helped Foster in that regard and with his speed that can be a lethal combination. We also have a "little Davis" in our rookie, well he’s not little at all but he is almost a copy of Davis when he was a rookie.

As far as the switching teams, I was mad with the Skins for the coach they chose but It was still hard for me to jut let go, I still keep up with everything in 95 and most of 96, but about half way through the 96 season I was so involved with the Panthers I hardly had time for two teams and the Panthers were now only an hour and a half from my house ( the 1st season they played in Clemson South Carolina ) so they were more like my own team and I didn’t feel like an outsider when I watched a game. And a bonus is they were a new team so I got to be there since day one!

Go Panthers!! :)


Thank’s everyone for the kind welcome on the board and if any of you stop by our board, Im an administrator, so if anyone’s out of line let me know.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Come on now, they hired Spurrier and I still didn't switch teams. Now THAT'S loyalty! LOL

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I'm not sure I understand changing teams either. I didn't switch when the Titans came to town. Of course I'm also a Vanderbilt student and most of the Titans fans seemed to be the same people as the obnoxious UT fans. Add in that they had blacked out games because they couldn't fill Vanderbilt's stadium (~40k) in their first year in Nashville along with the fact that at certain games it seemed like opposing teams had more fans there (Steelers). Then the fact that they go to the super bowl the next year in a new stadium with a new logo kind of made me resent them AND their fans. For me to have much respect for them, they're going to have to have 3+ non-playoff seasons in a row and still be selling out the stadium. Probably only an SEC fan could understand my great joy at watching Spurrier beat Tennessee's [i]pro[/i] team live in Nashville.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Spurrier.:vomit-smi

The reason for my disdain for Spurrier comes back from my days of being a rabid FSU fan. Then I realized that I had no attachment to FSU at all and kind of stopped liking college football.

I am a UT fan only because I have so much family that works there and friends that go there.

Well I never thought I would either, I was a pretty big Skins fan but I never had the feeling I get when the Panthers play. I tried to stay loyal to the Skins, I remember telling my dad ( Still a bigger Skin fan) that I would be pulling for the Panthers as my 2nd NFC team ( the Steelers was my AFC team) but after I went to a Panthers game ( a live NFL football game ) I just felt more loyalty toward my home state team where I could go enjoy the games instead of being forced to watch them on TV. I really though I would always be a Skins fan before the Panthers landed 90 miles from the house, then after I saw them play a few times I was hooked. Im now a PSL & season ticker holder.

Thank’s for the classy response, & good luck this year.

I always loved Spurrier because he regularly stuck it to UT and their fans. Running the Emory and Henry up the field at the end of the game down by more than a FG, going for it on 4th and 1 on his own 29 (on the road) on the opening drive and throwing a touchdown pass, etc. Always made me happy when the camera panned over to the great pumpkin and he would be utterly confused. "Spurrier" or "Gators" were the things that could always be said to shut UT fans up. I'm looking foward to it hopefully being that again, but with "Gamecocks" instead of "Gators".

It was hard to control myself in the midst of a bunch of titans fans when he ran a WR pass for a touchdown when we were already up by more than 10 points. :laughing2

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I always have two reasons to hate him...

I was almost as passionate about FSU as I am about the Skins back in the day, now I really don't care about college football. But you can imagine my chagrin to see the Skins hired him when I was in my peak of loving FSU.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I am from Carolina an although i loved the uptown charlotte parties when the Panthers went to the Super Bowl I am Redskins all the way. I would never change my team. Ever!!!!

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

welcome! (sorry for being so late) thanks for not trolling, hope you come back to talk after the game.

gardner is a good 3rd WR for a 6th round pick, hopefully you guys like him better than we did... he was nicknamed 50/50 by his OWN team, but as a 3rd WR maybe he'll be alright.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Welcome to the board guys. I've seen two panther posts today and both were in good taste. I hope thats how most of the teams who talk with us are this year. Welcome Guys!

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I guess PanterXtreme left a bad taste in our collective mouths...

[QUOTE=TrueD]who is PanterXtreme?[/QUOTE]



someone who never had anything good to say, all he wanted to do was too talk sh*t.

you don't have to praise the skins if their not your favorite team but damn, don't just come on here to talk sh*t. ya know?

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

to all the panthers fans who have come on this site to wish the skins well , i say thank you and would like to wish the panthers a safe season as well.

Hey man, I didn't know you were so close... I live in Cherryville (about 12 minutes away)

To the Skins fans, good luck in the game... Here's hoping for a good game for both teams, without any injuries. And about that bad Panther fan, I guess we all have one or two of those. And we would be happy to have you stop by Panthersfanz.com. Seems there are a few there who have a RedSkins past.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Just remember we won't be friends in the NFC Championship game... ;)

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

Hey guys, I'm also an old Skins fan. You ask how someone can just switch, Every since I was a kid I wanted a home state team and many years later we got one.I still pull for the Skins, thats something I will never stop doing(except when they play us). My favorite all time player is and always will be John Riggins. If any of ya check out our board you will see a Panthers jersey in my avatar. The number on that jersey is#44, and thats because Riggins will always be the MAN.I just hope for a safe game between us and that we both RULE our divisions this year.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

wow, we've been invaded :)

good luck to the panter fans, we'll talk after the game :)
gibb i probably going to go ultra conservative and our O may look horrible again :( hopefully it doesn't carry into the season though.
our D should give you guys a challenge, but we've got a million nagging injuries right now (#2,3, and 5 cbs have been in and out, #1 DT, #1 LB, etc).

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I don't know why he should go ULTRA conservative, I mean isn't our "hand going to be tipped" after the first game?

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

[QUOTE=TheMalcolmConnection]I don't know why he should go ULTRA conservative, I mean isn't our "hand going to be tipped" after the first game?[/QUOTE]

pretty much, i'm not a fan of it either, but considering we were ultra conservative last preseason and through the entire year, i'm not sure we're going to be able to change that overnight :( even though it was just a scrimmage, the longest completion for the skins was 16 yards.

Re: Good Luck from PanthersFanz ....
 

I'll take more from this weekend's preseason game. I mean if Orton can throw for damn near 200 yards, Ramsey can too.

[QUOTE=TheMalcolmConnection]I'll take more from this weekend's preseason game. I mean if Orton can throw for damn near 200 yards, Ramsey can too.[/QUOTE]


Only difference is that Orton did against the 3rd stringers. But I agree, we'll see how Ramsey does against Carolina and then judge him from there. I have a feeling that he might step up and play a good game.
