How about them Panthers?

[Mere Nick]

If I were the sports editor, the headlines would say

"Panthers slaughter Rams in merciless 29-23 2OT blow out"

The Panthers had a magical season last year, however this year I don't look for them to finish better than 8-8.  I'm not a true believer yet.

I've been a true believer from the git go, even when they were habitually losing.  8-8?  Anything is possible.

I lived in North Carolina for a while (New Bern) and I too was excited about the Panthers when I lived there.  However, NC is definitely a basketball state - I just hated to see the Hornets leave.
