The Carolina Panthers came in to
Gillette Stadium on December 13th for a late season match-up with the Patriots on a cold
but sunny day in New England. The Pats beat the Cats, 20-10. Here are a few
photos from that game. |

Mary, Cathy and Ellen are bundled up for a
chilly one.
|
|

|
Same three ladies as seen through the eyes of
the Short Bus.
|
|

|
Bruce loads the roof rack because Steve was
running a little late.
|
|

|
Bill dons a Santa hat for the mid-December
game.
|
|

|
The canopy goes up in P10 North.
|
|

|
The banners have been hung by the Short Bus
with care.
|
|

|
In hope that St. Victory soon would be there!
|
|

|
Ellen observes as Steve digs in.
|
|

|
Bill mans his familiar place by the grill.
|
|

|
This is a nice one of the Short Bus.
|
|

|
We were parked in the very first space along
the access road.
|
|

|
There was nobody parked to our left.
|
|

|
More revelry in the December sun.
|
|

|
Here are Ellen and Steve in various stages of
tailgating bliss.
|
|

|
Looks like Bruce has his own little bliss
thing going on.
|
|

|
This young lady came along with some friends
that met us in the lot.
|
|

|
You can see the access road in this one.
|
|

|
That's Craig on the far right and Maureen in
the middle.
|
|

|
The RVs are filling in now.
|
|

|
Still more tailgating.
|
|

|
And more.
|
|

|
Bruce and Jason are pondering what to eat
next.
|
|

|
Goofy face!
|
|

|
Cathy and Mary pose in front of the
port-a-potty!
|
|

|
There's Craig and Maureen on the left. I
just
can't remember their friends' names!
|
|

|
Jason and Steve have settled in for the
morning.
|
|

|
Tom and Steve relax with a beer and a cigar.
|
|

|
Bill tries in vain to avoid having his picture
taken.
|
|

|
Oh boy. This isn't going to end well.
|
|

|
The red ones were better. They were both
very strong.
|
|

|
The obligatory Old Glory shot.
|
|

|
An interesting perspective.
|
|

|
Bill is still slingin' burgers...
|
|

|
...and ribs and chicken and hot dogs...
|
|

|
...and steak tips, too!
|
|

|
Chris admires the Vinces as Tom looks on.
|
|

|
The party rages on!
|
|

|
Okay, maybe "rages" is the wrong
word.
|
|

|
Still "raging" here.
|
|

|
Mary and our photographer, Alex.
|
|

|
There will be modifications made to the
tailgate setup for next season.
|
|

|
Craig tries to duck the photographer.
|
|

|
Bruce is caught with his mouth full.
Again.
|
|

|
Bill is STILL cooking. He deserves a
flippin' medal!
|
|

|
Someone outta get him a chef's hat.
|
|

|
Chris is doing...something.
|
|

|
Is it some kind of dance?
|
|

|
Chris seems to have had a good time, whatever
it was. |
