In a press conference today, the group Touchdown Jacksonville announced plans to launch a grassroots effort to help the team with ticket sales. Touchdown Jacksonville was the group that originally launched Jacksonville's expansion bid, and more importantly, sold more than 10,000 club seats in 1993 to keep Jacksonville's hopes for a team alive.Carl Cannon and Tony Boselli are expected to be the major players in this movement.
No real specifics were given out as to what the group plans on doing, but it's still good to see. Expect to see more on this when some actual events are announced. I'll be waiting to see what kind of impact this has. Groups such as Our Team Our Town and True To The Teal have been doing an excellent job of raising awareness in the city. Hopefully with the Jaguars backing and Boselli as the face, Touchdown Jacksonville can work a second miracle.

Yeah, you right Zoltan
Support the damn team regardless because if we show faith in the organization through thick an thin eventually, this fan-base will be rewarded. Through it all, the jags organization and fan-base has to have faith in each other but we have to make the first step.

Boselli called for Jack to be fired
As face of the group, that will be interesting

Revive the Pride
Where can I get a bumper sticker! I don’t want to lose my Jags!

Let's fire everybody!!!!
Gene, Jack, assistant coaches, David, Reggie Nelson, Harvey , Groves, Monroe, the janitor, everybody must go! But seriously, this is getting out of hand. You see what happens when you have no stability, you turn into the Cleveland Browns.

Instability
Great word for this situation. This city is reaping the benefits of 5 years of sub-par drafting. It has been said before but we obviously need to be reminded again. This Fire mantra is a knee jerk reaction, but sadly (much like drafting Tebow) a perception change will influence people to come to the stadium. What this tells us is that people, on the whole, are idiots who can’t think.
The true test will come next year. Jack does need at least a .500 record to 1) show progress and 2) keep us from the top of the draft chart. The sad fact is that next year may be the final straw for whether this team leaves. “Revive the Pride” is a giant red flag that losing the Jaguars is just around the corner.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.

Next year .500?
Jack Del Rio is becoming the Matt Jones of coaching. Just one more year, he might come around.

I live in Cincinnati these days
One of my roommates is from Cleveland, and every day I’m thankful that at least I can make fun of her team more.
