The Game has Passed

Well, what can I say, my Panthers blew it. Yes, I will remain a die hard Panther fan. I even wore a Panthers sweatshirt today. I wasn't embarassed to wear it. That's my team, the one I pull for in a good season as well as a bad. I'm not going to put my team out on the corner any more then I would kick a friendship to the street over a disagreement. Jake had a terrible game. He has always been hit or miss, on or off, hot or cold, whatever. But to the best of my recollection how many other new franchised teams have ever been led to a superbowl, not to mention three---- yes count them---- three playoffs in the last six years. Now I don't pretend to follow all the teams, but out of the four that were franchised in '95, I believe the answer to that is ZERO. Did I mention that Jake led us to those three playoffs and the Superbowl? No, we didn't win, but we were there.



I am just as dissapointed as the other Panther fans at the outcome of Saturday nights game, but there is always next year. For now--I'll just wait---and hope we make it to another Superbowl, maybe next year, maybe not, but my loyalty will not change just because we didn't get there now.
