Exiled Jags Fans

by JagsFathead on Jun 4, 2008 10:46 AM EDT Comment 24 comments

Just curious if there are many out there outside of Jax. I am in Detroit but kept my season tickets and make it back foir most if not all of the games. I definitely think I must be the only one in "The D". Where are you from ?

This team is definitely starting to get a national following and it's about time. We have asked for respect and now we have it. It's time to deliver.

Springfield Missouri

I’d like to consider myself the president of the Jaguars fans-in-exile, but that’s probably due to ego issues.

There’s a good amount of us in the midwest, believe it or not.

Welcome to the site JagsFathead!

Toms River New Jersey

I am a huge jaguar fan and have been since 1996 which is when i first began to really watch football. I visit this site at least 3 times a day to see any new post or comments because i cant seem to get enough info on the team. This team is certainly getting national attention because only a year or 2 ago everytime i told someone my team was the jags they would laugh, now the same people are tellin me that the jags are their 2nd favorite team and tell me how much they enjoy watching them. This team is no joke and is on its way to becoming the team to beat. This is our year guys…..

I bet you catch some flak for being a Jags fan up there!

Mistreatment of rival team’s fans is something that is rampant in that area of the country, just curious if you’ve experienced it.

Columbus O-H-I-O Checking in!

JagsFathead Im stuck in Buckeye Country and am mad about the Jags…I go off on sports apparel retailers in the mall because they never have any Jags Stuff…I get loud and proud and I holler at the top of my lungs about how this store or that store are prejudiced against their customer and that apparently they dont see the NFL as being a 32 team league…just the bungholes, the chocolate starfish(browns) or the Squeealers seem to be the only teams that play in the NFL. according to their inventory. I have e ven had them refuse to special order me jags stuff because they have to buy in bulk and they will “never sell them”..so they wont order it…I ask them how do they know they wont sell the rest…and they say that they just “know” that nobody will…then I ask them have you ever tried to sell any Jags stuff…and they always say NO…I then proceed to tell them that they may be missing out because I personally know 12 ppl here in town that would buy Jags stuff if they could find it here. But I digress…..

I was born and raised in Jacksonville and have been stuck here in OHIO for 3 years…so without BCC I would be a starving Jags fan….Ive been a Jags fan since the day they announced what the name would be if we got awarded a franchise…..Im glad to see Im not alone! GO JAGSSS!!

Go Jags!

Chicago IL

Since I have come to college, I have met a total of 3 Jags fans on campus. The most disappointing moment occurred when wearing a Jags jacket, somewhere actually asked, “Which team they were?” and then told me that I made them up.

Ouch.

I ran into someone in an old style Jaguars jacket in Florida of all places that bought the jacket at a thrift store because they thought it was from a team that wasn’t around anymore. Very painful.

Welcome to the site though! Northwestern I assume? There’s a semi-famous Jaguars fan from there, Dan Shanoff, formerly of ESPN and my biggest nemesis, no less.

Giants and Jets fans

are probably some of the worst home fans there is. Ive seen plenty of fights, serious trash talking, and beer poured on fans from other teams. It sucks that the jags dont come this way more often but im pretty sure me and a good friend of mine will go see the jags in jacksonville this year.

I'd love to somehow have a Big Cat Country Tailgate

Pick a game for as many out of towners to attend and do a pre-game tailgate. That’d be very cool. I’m thinking December 14th’s game against the Colts, but that might be hard for people to do.

Let me know when you pick a game to attend!

Jags fan in Redskins country

Central Virginia Jags fan here. Very few Jags fans in this area, although I do work with one. I’ve been a rabid fan from the beginning (lived in Jax as a child) and can’t wait for the season to start. I just discovered BCC and am loving it!

Welcome Jacked Up!

Glad you’re here! Central VA, is that Redskins country?

I’m from South Africa, I guess that makes me the “furtherest from Jacksonville” Jags supporter.

WOW!

That’s fantastic! You win the “long distance fan award”! Are you able to see games down there or do you download them after the fact? If there’s anything I can do to help with keeping up with the Jaguars, please let me know!

I get to watch exactly 2 games a week (on ESPN) once Thursday football starts, and one game a week before then. So… the only time I get to watch “my” team in action is when they play prime-time or playoff games :(

I basically “watch” the Jags games on NFL.com with that software thing they have. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than not watching it at all (this is often well after midnight too!).

I didn’t even know you could download games after the fact…. where can I do this from? It would improve the quality of my life dramatically!
