Well, with their team having what is now officially the worst record in the NFL, Panthers fans don’t have much to get exited about outside of the hope that we don’t get hammered too badly by the Bears. I’ve picked the Bears to win today in the pool, as I can no longer go with my heart when it comes to my team if I expect to be competitive. 🙂
Well, after a bye week and a lot of soul-searching, the Panthers are gearing up to take on the Dallas Cowboys today at Bank of America Stadium. The weather outside is nice at 60 degrees and clear skies with an expected high of 68, but hopefully the Cats can use their home field advantage to turn up the temperature a little higher against the Cowboys, whose record (2-4) isn’t much better than ours (1-4).
Well, it’ll be a relaxing day for Panthers fans because the team has a bye this week and therefore can’t embarrass themselves on a football Sunday … or so we hope.
Just a little bit ago, I got done livetweeting the Romney / Ryan rally held earlier this evening in Asheville, NC (also known as Liberalville, NC to yours truly). Media reports had indoors being over 7,000 and there was jumbotron outside for the overflow crowd (I don’t know the numbers but I did see pictures of people standing outside to watch it).
The Seahawks and the Panthers don’t play until a little after 4 today here, and that’s probably a good thing as it has rained on and off – sometimes heavily – since about 7 last night. The forecast for this afternoon is cloudy w/ a high of 60 degrees but only up to a 20% chance for rain, so this will give the field a chance to dry out a little.
