OT: Off Topic Thread XIII: Keep Pounding Panthers Edition

[Unsustainable]

Life as a Panthers fan:

Rejoice over the fact that Davis, Stewart, and Kalil are restructuring contracts so that the Panthers have room to re-sign Hardy + other FAs.

A few hours later, Jordan Gross decides to retire.

And they are dogging Smitty while he is out of town.

I remember hearing Gross on WBT before training camp hinting he was in his last season. Not really a surprise.

He talked about it on Larson.

I thought if they didn't make the Super Bowl he would have came back for another run.

But he was doing a bit with Larson every Tuesday, guess to get some broadcasting experience.

 

[HisIceness]

I think he and Larson know each other from one of those 'ride for the kids' thing that Larson does, specifically for Hope Stout.

Larson has a few Panthers connections, Smith was on with him for a long time this morning, and him and Steve go back also.

I listen to Larson everyday, he's one of my favorite, wbt gets promptly turned at noon though, lol.

Spring Training starts today. One of my favorite times of year

So excited for this season. Opening Day in baseball is the only sports holiday I regularly observe.

You know that you're a super fan//nerd when...

You stumbled across a beautifully painted, incredible statue of your favorite character in video game history...

But almost don't buy it because the scale puts her at 5'9" and any Metroid fan knows that Samus is 6'3" and 198lbs and how can you buy something that isn't accurate, but you buy it anyway because, well, you're a Super Fan.

No State/UNC trash talk today?

What, is everybody gloom and doom over the Hurricanes?

It's not a rivalry.

 

[tomdundo]

It's not a rivalry.

It took an hour and 39 minutes?

Did all of you die, Canes HF board posters?

 

[tomdundo]

Marcus Paige vs TJ Warren at PNC Arena tonight.

 

[tomdundo]

I don't even know why I bother anymore. State always loses close games by 1 point in the dying seconds.

 

[Novacane]

Apparently it's legal to hold an opposing player's arms when the game is under a minute. Who knew?

 

[tomdundo]

The officiating was **** throughout the entire game. On both sides.

I don't participate in that anymore. It just ends with everyone getting pissed off at each other.

I will say that that was a very entertaining game though.

Agreed. The last few minutes of regulation combined with the overtime...that's drama right there.

Yeah. Just to clarify because I'm sure someone will jump on my comment, I'm not blaming the refs. If TJ makes his free throw it's on to OT2.

I can guarantee that two things happen the day after a Wolfpack loss - my clock will strike 2 twice, and an inordinate number of their fans will cry conspiracy, we got screwed by the refs, etc. Kudos to you ^ for avoiding that refrain.

I'm more bothered by the stories trickling out about throwing debris, slashing tires, taunting players on a personal level, and others that I'm forgetting. Complain about the refs all you want, but that **** is just not called for. Especially in collegiate athletics, rivalry or not.

What's all this?

 

[What the Faulk]

Joe Mazur (ABC 11) tweeted about the tires, Inside Carolina and a few others tweeted about the debris. I forget who tweeted about the taunts, but Marcus Paige had a postgame quote about it. I'm on mobile so I can't give you links, but it's out there.

First Harold Ramis, now Tim Wilson.
