My husband and I fly
what I am guessing is the only Panther flag in all of Upstate New York. We have matching Panthers Bank of America
cards. We even have Panthers reusable
shopping bags. I guess all of that would
be pretty cool if they were any good this year!
Brett’s family has
season tickets to the team and while we were visiting them in Charlotte, they
generously offered up their tickets so we could catch a game. The team had only won one game this season up until now, so it’s been a rough year. The perk to being bad is that it looks like
they’ll get the first pick in the NFL draft next year, so things could be
looking up. Then you’re gonna be super
jealous of all my sweet Panthers gear!
We didn’t get to see
our favorite player, DeAngelo Williams, play at this game, but he was on the
ticket! He’s out for the season with an
injury. Williams is actually from our
neck of the woods in Arkansas, playing for Wynne High School. The television station Brett & I worked
for covered WHS and Williams during his football career, so we’ve been keeping
an eye on him for a while and were thrilled when he became a Panther!
The Carolina Panther
fight song starts off with “Oh, nothin’ could be finer than to be in Carolina
for a Panther football game!” I’ll be
honest, I married into this team spirit, but I’m more than happy to be on the
bandwagon. (Dressing up and taking
pictures is sort of my thing!) It was
nice to see my husband smack dab in the middle of his element though…even if he
acted like this the whole game.
