Get to know your fellow Charlotte fans 

Post#343 » by Soul Rebel » Mon Jun 29, 2015 9:56 pm

Should've jumped in here when I signed up recently.

About me:

Huge fan of all sports but NFL probably takes the cake for me. Big time Panthers fan, though I grew up a Jets fan (pre-Panthers era). Just stepped down as Editor at a blog for a Panthers fan site over at FanSided. Now, it's just a hobby.

I was born in NY, went to school at NCSU, moved back up to NYC, down to Charlotte, and now - Seattle since the end of May.

My ride or die dog is a 5-year old lab named Jeter, and he is the best. About to jump on a road trip on Wednesday with him and drive my car that I left behind on the initial move, back to Seattle.

For the Hornets, I followed the original team when I was younger. LJ & BD were my two faves. Current Hornets fan since the Bobcat inception.... I actually added the NBA channel for 1 day so I could watch the expansion draft up in NYC. Kemba is my guy on this team, with MKG as a close 2nd.

Glad to be on the board.... Long time lurker.

Don't think I've posted in here yet. What it dooooo. Just finished freshman year at App (the same school it seems like 50% of this forum went to - which is awesome). I love the Hornets but I'm also a huge soccer and football fan. Soccer clubs I support are Liverpool and the Charlotte Independence. Football Panthers obviously. Other things I enjoy well I'm a huge fan of rap music. Kendrick Lamar is probably my favorite rapper right now, Kanye West is my favorite musician of all time. Idk what else to say that's very interesting about me.

Look, we are an equal opportunities forum here so we can't show any bias and not answering such an important question due to gender is just not acceptable.

I kid, I really should take pity on a Demons supporter . . . :wink:

@tritness, feel free to add your dreamteam of hot dudes. We're all open-minded. Just don't plan on staking claim to Chandler Parsons. He's already in a committed relationship with our very own Liver_Pooty.

And welcome to the board both Tritness and X Over. This board is filled with Aussies.
