What part of NC? I went to college in Charlotte and later stationed in Camp Lejuene for three years. I love NC and would be happy to come back

Close to Concord, NC by the NASCAR Racetrack and ZMax Dragway. I went to broadcasting school in Charlotte right after graduation and been here since. I went to the Ravens-Panthers game in 2010 where we demolished them, Ray & Ed both had an interception in that game. As soon as I got into the stadium, it felt like I went from Charlotte on the outside of the stadium and was transported to The Bank. So many purple shirts and even Panthers fans there were thinking they were in Baltimore. 2010 was their terrible year that led to drafting Cam in 2011 but it still surprised them how well we traveled.

Small world man I was there as well. Ravens fans travel so well. I had graduated from Belmont Abbey and hung around for a while before joining the Marines.

Plus, we got a large fanbase in FL. Each of the FL stadiums is basically MT&T Bank South.

Yup, I’ll be at the Miami game this year if they allow fans

I'm hoping to go to the Raiders game in Las Vegas if they allow fans, but definitely will try to make it to the Packers game for my annual once a year trip to Baltimore. We only play them every 4 years and it should be a good QB duel between Lamar & Rodgers. We play Tampa in 2022, so I'm definitely traveling to Tampa for that one so I can say I seen Brady play us as a Buc at least once.

how old are you or should I say how young are you. You can use anniversaries of a 29th birthday if you'd like. This year I celebrate the 26th anniversary of my 29th birthday. Yes, it's a speed limit birthday!
Well I celebrated that anniversary over 5 yrs ago my dear.

I’ve noticed that, from my understanding Floridians loved ray and Ed because of their careers at the U and a lot of ravens fans in Florida was the result. Is this true?

As a raven fan from SoCal.. I try to go to every game in the west coast. My last one was the Rams MNF. It was magical.

I’m planning on going to the Vegas game as well. I’m afraid of how much of a premium I got to pay with it being the first year for fans, then you got to think those big casinos buy out tickets to give to their big players as comps. Crosses fingers I can land some tix

I really hope tavon young can finally stay healthy - not counting on it for sure but he just adds something to this secondary that we've missed - we've got an amazing unit back there but tavon young being on the field is such a massive bonus for this team as a legit slot corner - it allows us to play to marlon's strengths too

and he's another playmaker when he's on the field - having marlo, MP and tavon on the field all at once creates so many opportunities for turnovers - and tavon's such a good blitzer too

it's a true travesty that tavon's hardly been available during wink's tenure as DC because he's a potential weapon blitzing

Nice! Did our fanbase take over the stadium?

I'm sure that's the case for a number of them. Some of the Canes fans I know are also Dolphins fans so that's that. Throughout the years, I've seen a lot of cars with the Maryland license plates as well. I remember when we played the Falcons a couple of seasons ago, our fanbase showed OUT.

Florida has a pretty good following. Live in South FL and see a decent amount of fans. Only have been to the 14 Bucs game where Flacco tore up Tampa but was a great experience. Plan on making it to the Miami game this year.

I’ve debated the whole week in Miami for a ravens game a couple of times, can’t do it this year because that wouldn’t work too well with a newborn lol, maybe next time... again

Do it when you get the chance. Still regret not going in 2019. Still haven't been to Hard Rock and it's the closest stadium to me. Best decision I've made was not going to 2011 MNF game against the Jags. That ride home would have stung.

I was at that Jags game. I spent all day getting drunk in Jacksonville bars and telling people how badly we were going to stomp them. It was brutal.

That being said, I did partially enjoy watching the Jags fans celebrate it like a SB win, knowing that we were going to the playoffs and they, of course, weren't.
